Focusing on the key skill of understanding and translating theory into
practice, this book provides an in-depth exploration and analysis of the
key theorists and theories that form the foundation of learning and
development in early childhood.
The structure of the book mirrors the student learning journey, to
compliment the course and seminar reading. The first parts of the book
take a critical approach to learning theories, developing reflective and
analytical skills through critical questions, photographs and discussion
points, whilst the second part offers case studies to help students
understand how theories can be applied in practice.
