Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book brings together an international group of researchers reporting on their work aboutplay and early childhood education across 13 countries - Norway, Sweden, Denmark, England,Germany, Hong Kong, United States of America, India, The Maldives, Sri Lanka, Singapore,China and Australia. It contributes to growing international conversations about play and therole of play in early childhood education.Each of the chapters in this anthology reflects different directions in research as well as a rangeof approaches to reconceptualising play. Each researcher questions assumptions underpinningyoung children's play and early childhood education and explores the implications of these questionsfor further research, practice and policy. Chapters report a wide range of innovative and transformative research, focusing on areassuch as the play of infants and toddlers, the role of values in play, the complexity of connections between play and learning, motivation,the role and understandings of early childhood educators in promoting children's play, risky play and the impact of Westernisedapproaches to play in different contexts.This book argues for the importance of children's play at a time when there is a great deal of pressure to increase the academic focus ofearly education and to eliminate play that could be deemed risky. Several authors note moves towards pedagogies of play and explorethe potential links between play and learning in early education settings.

It provides a pathway into the debates about the role and valueof play in early years education for students, researchers and policy-makers.…
