Teaching and Learning with Infants and Toddlers: Where Meaning-Making Begins
Kaup valmöguleikar
Á aðeins þremur árum læra ungbörn að hreyfa sig af öryggi og mýkt, að tjá sig áreynslulaust, að rannsaka og leysa vandamál og að hjálpa öðrum, og leggja þar með einstaklega vandaðan grunn að öllu því námi sem á eftir kemur. Maguire-Fong hefur uppfært þessa brautryðjandi bók sem er ætluð bæði nemum og starfandi fagfólki sem vinnur með ungbörnum og fjölskyldum þeirra. Hver kafli byggir á rannsóknum og raunverulegum aðstæðum í ungbarnastarfi og veitir dýrmæta innsýn í hvernig skipuleggja má starf með ungbörnum, byggja upp námskrá, meta nám og vinna með fjölskyldum.
Þessi vinsæla bók sækir innblástur í uppeldisstefnu leikskólanna í Reggio Emilia á Ítalíu, í starf Mögdu Gerber og Emmi Pikler, og í rannsóknir þeirra fjölmörgu fræðimanna sem leitast við að skilja hvernig ungbörn skapa merkingu.
„Frá skýrri umfjöllun um þroska heilans hjá ungbarni til upplýsandi framsetningar á list ígrundaðrar umönnunar, ég sé fyrir mér hversu oft ég mun nýta þetta verk.“ Úr formála J. Ronald Lally, Center for Child and Family Studies, WestEd.
In the short span of three years, infants learn to move with confidence and grace, to converse with ease, to investigate and solve problems, and to help others in need—building an exquisite foundation for all learning that follows. Maguire-Fong has updated her groundbreaking book designed to assist pre- and inservice professionals working with infants and their families. Each chapter draws from research and real-life infant care settings to provide valuable insights into how to design an infant care program, plan curriculum, assess learning, and work with families.
This popular resource is inspired by the philosophy of early childhood education developed in the schools in Reggio Emilia, Italy; from the work of Magda Gerber and Emmi Pikler; and from the many dedicated researchers intent on figuring out how infants make meaning. Praise for the First Edition!“From its clear explanation of the developing brain of a baby to its enlightened presentation on the art of reflective childcare, I see how many times I will use this work as a resource.
”—From the Foreword by J. Ronald Lally, Center for Child and Family Studies, WestEd“Filled with so many great ideas, evocative illustrations, and practical considerations. ”—Ross A. Thompson, University of California, Davis“Here is everything you ever wanted to know about very young children as ‘born researchers. ’”—Elizabeth Jones, faculty emerita, Pacific Oaks College“Students of early childhood need to have all these important thoughts in their heads.
