Opis

Providing an accessible introduction to the seminal 'alternative narratives' in early childhood education, this book clarifies often complex theories and concepts whilst giving examples of how these have been and can be used in practice. Serving as a bridge that leads students and practitioners to new ways of thinking about their practice, it encourages explorations into an exciting and provocative world made up of a multitude of perspectives and debates. Peter Moss draws heavily on the books published in the Contesting Early Childhood series, with their rich theoretical perspectives and provides examples of how the theories have had a major impact in early years classrooms around the world.
