Threads of Thinking: Young Children Learning and the Role of Early Education - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

Threads of Thinking is a book for teachers in nursery and early education, and for other professional educators who wish to support and develop children's thinking. The author presents evidence of continuity and progression in young children's thinking and shows, with detailed observations, that young children are able and active learners. She considers aspects of children's patterns of learning and thinking - or schemas - and demonstrates clearly how children learn in an active, dynamic and creative way. Numerous examples of young children 'in action' are used, which illustrate their learning in the areas of literacy, mathematics and science. Implications for the roles and responsibilities of educators, work with parents, and curriculum development are discussed.
