Reframing the Everyday in Early Childhood Pedagogy: Conceptualising the Mundane

Editat de Casey Y. Myers, Kylie Smith, Rochelle L. Hostler, Marek Tesar
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 aug 2023
Despite vast possible differences across geographic locations, cultural practices, community values, and curricular priorities, there are everyday events that are intimately familiar in the context of early childhood care and education centres. By attending to the daily events that are often overlooked and considerably under-theorized, this insightful text highlights the complexity of the everyday in early childhood settings. Contributions to this edited collection are organized to follow the chronology of a school day; each chapter draws upon post-foundational theories and empirical qualitative data in order to (re)examine a familiar routine within an early years centre, such as walking down the hallway, eating a snack, napping, or changing one’s clothing. The authors argue for a mundane early childhood praxis that attends to the pedagogical possibilities within the seemingly unremarkable and highlights its importance, especially during what are understood to be unprecedented times.
This book will be of interest to advanced practitioners, graduate students, and scholars, and for use in courses in early childhood education, childhood studies, and educational foundations.

Recenzii

This book provokes us to think more deeply about an important but neglected aspect of early childhood centres -- every/day moments in the lives of children attending these settings. Drawing on diverse theoretical perspectives, the book makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of these centres and the significance of these moments. Arguing for a ‘mundane early childhood praxis’, the contributors show that such praxis is anything but mundane, being impactful and complex, and involving thoughtful pedagogy and relational ethics.
Emeritus Professor Peter Moss, Thomas Coram Research Unit, UCL Institute of Education
Having done immersive ethnographic work in early childhood contexts, I appreciated how this book decenters the official curriculum and foregrounds the implicit or hidden curricula of daily life in early childhood classrooms, with chapters organized around the flow of typical daily routines and rituals. Authors make a compelling case for a deeper consideration of the taken for granted and "mundane" routines that occur alongside enactments of explicit or official curriculum. Nuanced analyses and well theorised reflections in each chapter evoke a sense of "making the familiar strange" to gain insights into the extraordinary meaning making of the ordinary by young children, their teachers, families, and their physical environment. Readers come to understand ways in which often invisible routines reflect power, politics, play, and possibilities through theories -- including posthuman, spatial, Black Feminist, post-foundational, and new materialisms.

The heartbeat can create a co-regulation and profound body-dialogue between parent and newborn. Similarly, here, I found myself in close relationship, in rhythm, inside of this writing—as a testament to daily, lived experiences. Myers, Smith, Hostler and Tesar develop an air of expectancy for the reader to pick the words up while living with/in the ordinary moments of daily life. It is a marvelous and profound experience to crack open the kernels of time by living between them in moments of deep thought and in remembrances of my own relational perceptions in schools; all while reading and turning over these lovely and thought-provoking pages in my mind!
