Textul de pe ultima copertă
“This comprehensive and very readable book makes the world of child development accessible to readers from undergraduates to researchers. I found the blend of factual information, examples from practice and points to reflect upon, an ideal format and will certainly be recommending it to my early childhood students.”
Elizabeth Coates, Associate Professor, University of Warwick
“This most welcome and eagerly awaited text is highly recommended for a wide readership but especially useful for students and professionals interested in acquiring an up to date and in-depth understanding of the holistic nature of child development. It is the first comprehensive academic text that is able to present complex theoretical concepts in such an accessible format.’’
Patricia Giardiello, Senior Lecturer, Liverpool Hope University
“It is good to see a book on child development which places key theoretical issues firmly within the context of real life and raises important questions for practitioners.”
Margaret Perkins, University of Reading
What do children understand about their own and other people’s feelings? Do children learn best by themselves, or with guidance from peers? What is the role of play in physical development? How is the newborn baby’s brain constructed to learn? How should we deal with aggressive behaviour?
These are just a few of the questions that Child Development: Theory and Practice 0-11 will answer as it introduces you to a number of ideas, concepts and theories and relates these to cutting-edge issues in education.
An understanding of children’s development and how it changes over time is of enormous benefit to professional practitioners in recognising and meeting the intellectual, linguistic, physical, social and emotional needs of children more effectively.
Key features of the book include:
Child Development: Theory and Practice0-11is an invaluable resource for all trainee primary or early years teachers, Childhood Studies and Education Studies students, and for teachers, learning assistants, managers and practitioners in schools, playgroups and nurseries.

Caracteristici
- Chapter openings that have specified learning outcomes so that objectives are set at the outset
- Each chapter includes a research focus box that presents either a recent project or summarises findings from a number of key studies that have contributed to understanding of child development in education
- In each chapter a controversies box is used to encourage the reader to reflect on a pertinent issue raised in the chapter. This could form the basis of a group discussion or the adoption of an individual critical stance on a particular issue. This will encourage students to critically evaluate theories, concepts and research findings.
- An in action box is used in each chapter to apply theory to practice directly. Real life scenarios from home and educational settings are presented to help the reader bridge the gap from theoretical study to practical application.
- Developmental milestone tables are used to depict aspects of development in a concise and easily accessible form for the reader. Figures, tables and illustrations are also included for this reason.
- Stop and think sections are included throughout to encourage the reader to pause and adopt a critical stance on a point or argument in the chapter, encourage reflection on personal experiences or challenge previously held beliefs.
- Chapter reviews recap the main points that have been covered in each chapter so that they are reinforced for students
- A going further section at the end of each chapter points the reader to sources of further reading or more in-depth study.
- Review questions are included at the end of each chapter to assist the reader in checking understanding of the key concepts introduced
