Product Description

Review

The ultimate early years bible. --Nursery Education PLUS Magazine, January 2009.

I cannot recommend [it] more highly! Absolutely fantastic as the students are able to study theorists in a dynamic and interesting user friendly way. I love the way theorists an approaches are 'de-mystified'. --Meg Ord-Hume, Senior Tutor in Early Years, Chiltern Training Limited, Reading.

A perfect introductory text for our incoming education students. --Robyn Cox, Principal Lecturer, The University of Worcester.

Product Description

This book summarises the finding and ideas of educational theorists and psychologists- famous names such as Montessori and Piaget as well as lesser-known ones such as Dewey and Donaldson. It also looks at the theory behind different approaches to early years education-Montessori, Steiner, the Italian pre-school of Reggio Emilia, and the early years curriculum in New Zealand.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for those studying in early years, 3 Feb 2007
By W. Towgood "Studying Hard" (Southampton) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: How Children Learn: From Montessori to Vygotsky - Educational Theories and Approaches Made Easy (Paperback)
This book gives a brief outline of the most well known child development theorists. Studying for my foundation degree in childhood studies I refer to this book often as a start point for further research on a particuar theorist, or to find a theorist to make sence of my studies. Together with 'Theories of Childhood' by Carol Garhart Mooney I'm not worried about where to start looking for my research. I look at these! BUY IT.

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: How Children Learn: From Montessori to Vygotsky - Educational Theories and Approaches Made Easy (Paperback)
Great book, great for all levels - good mix of theorists, excellent links to more information. Good links to those who oppose the theorists cited and why - would recommend as a good basic book for any level of learning
