Comprehensive, thought provoking yet accessible. This book is a gem and one that I shall be drawing to students attention immediately. It's critical thinking activities and following comments should gently guide students to the processing of skills so much in demand. I look forward to more of the same calibre in this seriesLecturer, Bridgwater College
A very insightful book for the learners who are undertaking the Primary Education module.
An interesting book. I recommended it to some students as felt it would be useful for their dissertation project.
An excellent book although pitched a little higher than makes it suitable for the Level 3 Early Years Educators that I originally hoped to use it with. Neithertheless, I will recommend this interesting book to my Level 5 students instead.
Well received by students doing a BA in Early Childhood Studies. The book came very valuable when preparing their assignments.
Theory into practice approach is most valuable for undergraduate students attempting to improve their reflection skills.
A book rich in ideas and exploration that repays careful re-reading.
useful as a supplementary text to complement other texts on pedagogy
a strong text - excellent detail - will be promoted and purchased for library. Some new ideas here, great stimulus for classroom discussion.
This is a useful text for providing background reading. I also used some of the exercises with students. They enjoyed using them.
A good level text to engage and develop students knowledge in relation to pedagogy appropriate to Primary and EYFS teaching/learning episodes.
Added to book list.
This book was most interesting to early childhood students who wanted to progres to early years teaching or those extending reading around provision of learning through play
This text has been a useful source for students to consider different roles and areas of educational experiences for young children in primary and early years settings.. Post graduate students who are considering teacher training will find this useful. The case studies and critical thinking and key ideas sections enable links with theory and application to practice. Relevant and contemporary further reading to challenge their own learning and level.
This is a good text that supports student's understanding of key issues and theories within the subject area. This text has been useful across several modules due to its comprehensive coverage.
