This book summarises the finding and ideas of educational theorists and psychologists- famous names such as Montessori and Piaget as well as lesser-known ones such as Dewey and Donaldson. It also looks at the theory behind different approaches to early years education-Montessori, Steiner, the Italian pre-school of Reggio Emilia, and the early years curriculum in New Zealand.
This publication was invaluable whilst I was enrolled on my Level 3 Child Care course at college (2010 to 2012) and is equally as valuable now whilst attending university (2012 to 2015) studying Education and History. The publication gives you a base knowledge, in an understandable and relatable writing style. The format of the publication is excellent and easy to navigate.
This provided an insight into some of the most influencial educational pioneers. A great way to understand some of the historical links to education today.
