Integrated Play-based Curriculum For Young Children

Routledge

This revised text reflects changes in ECE in the past few years. It looks at early childhood education as a unified field which encompasses the nursery school, pre-school and primary years (ages 3-8). The book consists of three parts: a foundation for curriculum teaching in the early years; a discussion of educational issues that affect early childhood teachers; and coverage of specific subject areas in the early childhood programmes from preschool through the primary grades.

Right from the Start: Teaching Children Ages Three to Eight

Allyn&Bacon

Play provides young children with the opportunity to express their ideas, symbolize, and test their knowledge of the world. It provides the basis for inquiry in literacy, science, social studies, mathematics, art, music, and movement. Through play, young children become active learners engaged in explorations about themselves, their community, and their personal-social world.   An Integrated Play-Based Curriculum for Young Children offers the theoretical framework for understanding the origins of an early childhood play-based curriculum and how young children learn and understand concepts in a social and physical environment. Distinguished author Olivia N. Saracho then explores how play fits into various curriculum areas in order to help teachers develop their early childhood curriculum using developmentally and culturally appropriate practice. Through this integrated approach, young children are able to actively engage in meaningful and functional experiences in their natural context.   Special Features Include:   Vignettes of children’s conversations and actions in the classroom   Suggestions for activities and classroom materials   Practical examples and guidelines   End-of-chapter summaries to enhance and extend the reader’s understanding of young children   By presenting appropriate theoretical practices for designing and implementing a play-based curriculum, An Integrated Play-Based Curriculum for Young Children offers pre-service teachers the foundational knowledge about the field, about the work that practitioners do with young children, and how to best assume a teacher’s role effectively.
