'This book remains a tremendous achievement and merits the attention of educators, parents and scholars alike. Extending thought and the Froebel Project continue to inform appropriate practice and should be on the bookshelf of every early years educator and researcher' - Early Years
The content of the book was clear and concise. My students find it straightforward and provides them with the information they needed.
Informative, interesting and usable text. Helpful to support the practice of new professionals and established practitioners.
A highly recommended text that provides depth and insight into children's learning. Some relevant pictorial representations of schemas and examples of children's work. This is a good text to extend students thinking when they have a basic knowledge of schemas.
Love the inclusion of children's drawings. Really bought the book to life
A great one!
This book encompasses a wide range of areas - a much larger scope than I was anticipating. The book is grounded in historical background and speaks of many current political agendas. It strikes a balance between depth and easy readability that will appeal to a wide audience.
Through the extensive examples Athey gives in this book students will be able to relate practice to theory.
An excellent text relating to schemas observed in young children. A great resource for students studying child development.
Excellent book which really explained schematic play and put it into context.
Many of my students bought this book and referred to it in their assignments.
They found it invaluable in describing and analysisng chidlren's schematic behaviour.
I will be recommending this text on forthcoming courses about symbolic representation and creativity.
It is an essential text for supporting these areas.
A very readable book as it interprets child observations and explains the context for schema development. The book considers traditional views of education towards the constructivist approach to developmental learning.
