THREADS OF THINKING: YOUNG CHILDREN LEARNING AND THE ROLE OF EARLY EDUCATION(3RD EDITION)

Book ID/图书代码： 10350006B08076

English Summary/英文概要： "Threads of Thinking, Third Edition" is a book for all early years practitioners who wish to support and develop children’s thinking. Cathy Nutbrown presents evidence of continuity and progression in young children’s thinking and shows, with detailed observations, that they are able and active learners. She considers aspects of children’s patterns of learning and thinking - or schemas - and demonstrates clearly how children learn in an active, dynamic and creative way. Numerous examples of young children ’in action’ are used, which illustrate their learning in areas of literacy, mathematics and science. Observations of babies and toddlers are included in this new edition with discussion of how their early schematic development can be supported. Examples of children learning through creative experiences in the arts are also included. Implications for curriculum, assessment and work with parents are thoroughly considered in a style that compels attention to children’s own learning agendas. The Second Edition of "Threads of Thinking" was published 1999. Since then the policy context of early childhood education has undergone radical change. In response to this and other important policy developments, this fully revised Third Edition includes numerous detailed descriptions of children learning and discusses those observations in the light of our understanding about how children learn and how early childhood educators might teach. The impact of current national policies is addressed throughout, including the implications for practitioners of early assessment and the relationship of assessment to learning.

Her work has included work on the preschool educators´ beliefs and practices around inclusion and has looked at work in Europe and the UK. Cathy´s interest in inclusion extends to ways of developing inclusive practices where the voices of children, parents and practitioners are heard and their roles and perspectives valued. Early literacy work with parents One of Cathy´s key research areas is early literacy work with parents. This has formed a major part of her research over the past 10 years. The Raising Early Achievement in Literacy (REAL) project is well known and the methods used in this project are being used by many practitioners in several countries to support parents in their efforts to help their young children´s literacy development. Teaching Cathy is Director of the MA in Early Childhood Education and co-ordinator of the Early Years Strand of the EdD programme. Other Experience Cathy began her career as a teacher of young children and has since worked in a range of settings and roles with children, parents, teachers, and other early childhood educators. Cathy is committed to finding ways of working ’with respect’ with young children, and sees the concept of quality in the context of what it means to develop curriculum and pedagogy in the early years with the ambition of working in a climate of ’respectful education’.
