Theories of Early Childhood Education : Developmental, Behaviorist, and Critical, Hardback Book

Theories of Early Childhood Education : Developmental, Behaviorist, and Critical Hardback

Edited by Lynn E. (Long Island University, USA) Cohen, Sandra (Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, USA) Waite-Stupiansky

Hardback

Description

Theories of Early Childhood Education continues to provide a comprehensive overview of the various theoretical perspectives in early childhood education from developmental psychology to critical studies, Piaget to Freire.

This revised and updated edition includes additional chapters on Michael Alexander Halliday’s view of language learning and the attachment theory work of John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth.

Each author questions assumptions underpinning the use of theory in early childhood education and explores the implications of these questions for policy and practice.

Theories reported in this book are a timely reminder of the importance of the relationship between theory and practice necessary for teacher candidates, teacher educators, and early childhood teachers.

Students will learn the fundamentals while in-service teachers and professionals will learn the theory behind field observations for their certification exams.
