Viewing children as 'experts in their own lives', the Mosaic approach
offers a creative framework for understanding young children's
perspectives through talking, walking, making and reviewing material
with an adult. This book demonstrates how children's views and
experiences can stay in focus in early childhood provision. The
multi-method approach brings together digital tools with interviewing
and observation to enable adults to review current practice and
implement change with children.
Combining the authors' successful books Listening to Young Children
and Spaces to Play into an expanded and fully updated third edition,
this book builds on the authors' original ground-breaking work by
commenting on the development and adaptation of the Mosaic approach,
along with case studies of the Mosaic approach in action in four
countries: England, Denmark, Norway and Australia. Alongside guidance on
using and adapting the framework with young children, older children and
adults, there is new material on the ethical and methodological issues
involved.
