Early Childhood Communities of Inquiry
BücherAngebote / Angebote:
Early childhood curriculum and pedagogy are
complex. Although children's interests are a common
source of early childhood curriculum, little
literature exists that has researched the nature of
children?s interests, nor how teachers recognise and
use these to co-construct curriculum. In addition,
the highly participative, interpretive and intuitive
nature of early childhood teaching means many kinds
of evidence inform teachers? professional
knowledge. This book provides some insights into
these matters of value to teachers, researchers and
policy makers.
An interpretation of children's interests, from a
sociocultural perspective, requires a more
analytical understanding of children's and teachers?
knowledge, experiences and interests. Further,
participatory learning enables children and teachers
to co-create a foundation for conceptual learning.
Two inquiry continua and one model are offered to
incorporate key theoretical ideas and arguments.
Using communities of inquiry as an approach has the
potential to transform early childhood learning-and-
teaching environments.
