by Noirin (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) Hayes, Leah O'Toole, Ann Marie Halpenny
Part of the Introducing Early Years Thinkers series
Paperback / softback
Description
Children learn in contexts, and the spaces, places and people they come into contact with have a deep influence on their development.
Urie Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological model of development places the child at the centre of this complex network, and his influence has been extensive in early childhood education.
This book presents an introduction to Bronfenbrenner’s model of development, drawing on practice-based research to identify and animate key elements of his model’s impact.
It illustrates how his model can help bring quality to early learning environments and incorporates it into daily work with young children.
As well as providing a glossary of key terms, Introducing Bronfenbrenner covers areas such as: a bioecological perspective on educational transition; early education as a dynamic process; nurturing children’s learning and development; reflecting the bioecological in early years practice. Using a variety of vignettes, practical examples of good practice and case studies, Introducing Bronfenbrenner is an essential guide to his work.
It will be of interest to professionals working with children in early childhood settings and to undergraduate students training to become early childhood professionals.
