Observing Young Children: The Role Of Observation And Assessment In Early Childhood Settings (Essential Guides For Early Years Practitioners)

This fully revised second edition provides a detailed analysis of what is meant by the observation of young learners and why this is so vital to early years practitioners and students. In this accessible and insightful text, Sandra Smidt examines the various theories of how young children develop and learn, which have been put forward by thinkers and writers across time and place so the reader has a genuinely global view of early childhood. She then highlights how important it is for practitioners in schools, nurseries, and settings to think carefully about what they have seen and heard in light of what they, as adults, already know about the children and their learning.
