Journeys: Reconceptualizing Early Childhood Practices Through Pedagogical Narration - Paperback

by Veronica Pacini-Ketchabaw (Author), Fikile Nxumalo (Author), Laurie Kocher (Author)

Inspired by the idea of documentation as a valuable tool for making learning visible, pedagogical narration offers an opportunity to move beyond checklists and quick answers to a more complex understanding of how children learn, and how teachers might facilitate and support that learning in innovative ways. The authors use stories they collected during a collaborative study to offer a range of possibilities for alternative childhood pedagogies. Cutting edge, yet practical; detailed in its analysis, yet inspiring, this book is a boon to the field of early childhood and primary education studies.
