Product Description

Product Description
This book focuses on play in the early years of childhood and its contribution to the learning process. By examining the concept in perspective, rather than in isolation, this book considers the relation between play and other activities attempting to place this within the context of the curriculum as a whole. Following on from "Early Childhood Education", this book explores the developing perception of play in education and brings together some of the most recent theory and research on the subject. In particular, it considers the nature of "free-flow" play and its place within the primary curriculum. This book attempts to bring educational theory alive, and to examine the practical considerations of such research for those working with young children. This book comes complete with numerous real-life examples, and suggested strategies for encouraging, developing and recording children's play.

4.0 out of 5 stars A classic from Tina Bruce, 9 Aug 2001
By A Customer
A very interesting book that covers early childhood play from different angles and views of Tina Bruce. I have found topics such as representation and the foundations of education most interesting and a great support for my course. Alot of interesting theories regarding play.
