Produktbeschreibung

Child Observation for Learning and Research is an exciting new text, providing a thorough grounding in the methodology, practice and interpretation of observing children.

The authors draw on their experience and expertise in childcare, education, social work and research to introduce the fundamental principles and process of observation, preparing the reader for their first observation and building knowledge and confidence through a wide range of scenarios and activities.

The book takes the unique approach of demonstrating how acquiring observational skills can serve as a key learning tool, not only helping readers to understand children, but also to recognise, analyse and question theory, helping them to make sense of their own learning.
