Shortlisted for the 2013 Nursery World Awards! ‚This exciting book will greatly enhance understanding of learning throughout the early years, and reinforces the importance of responsive professionals who understand children’s schemas. Atherton and Nutbrown have brought together socio-cultural and cognitive learning theories with ease, and their metaphors are brilliantly evocative‘ -Dr Anne Meade, Consultant ‚This book is drawn from a study carried out with rigour and contains several gems, such as the ‚bike and slide exploration‘; the idea of adults engaging in ‚a dialogue of conceptual correspondence‘ with children; and tables outlining ‚what the children might have been thinking‘. A great read!‘ -Dr Cath Arnold, Pen Green Early Years Centre ‚This is an exciting and illuminating account of babies and toddlers, following their schema fascinations with determination and competence, as they continually explore and experiment and come to know their world.
