Originally published in 1994. One of the most neglected areas of
research and thus writing is the world of the infant school child.
Those who know it best are teachers who tend not to write. Those
who write most are academics and even they venture rarely into this
area. This book is based on research funded by the University of
Wales. A number of teachers in a Welsh LEA were interviewed over
time as the National Curriculum was being introduced up to Key
Stage 1. The structured interviews covered a wide range of topics
related to the anticipated and actual efforts of the National
Curriculum at this key stage including curriculum planning,
assessment, teaching methods, and organization. Teachers' attitudes
to the curriculum were explored through a short attitude test. The
resulting data provides in depth the first such examination and is
a resource not only in itself but for all those researchers on
change agents and restructuring.

The child-centred principles of early years education - which
emphasize play and holistic learning - are being challenged by the
implementation of a subject-based National Curriculum. The
contributors to this book explore this challenge and offer some
ways of meeting it practically and productively. Issues covered
include: pedagogical issues, such as the cross-curricular,
topic-based teaching; teacher's attitudes to subject knowledge;
assessment issues, including baseline assessment at the age of
five; and parental attitudes to the National Curriculum and its
content at Key Stage 1.
