Understanding Young Children's Learning through Play by Pat Broadhead

Understanding Young Children's Learning through Play by Pat Broadhead

This book introduces, theorises and practically applies the two related concepts of 'playful learning' and 'playful pedagogies', two recently emerging ideas which now underpin the Early Years Foundation Stage and, increasingly, Key Stage 1 classrooms.

"Broadbent and Burt also provide a brief history of the British National Curriculum (1988) and the effect of the standards movement on the way the English typically incorporate play into early-childhood programsTheir research shows how much children learn when teachers build on children's free play rather than dominate it. As a result, early-childhood practitioners and researchers will find this book a useful read." - Olga S. Jarrett, Georgia State University, American Journal of PLAY

Pat Broadhead is Professor of Playful Learning at Leeds Metropolitan University. Andy Burt was the Early Years Coordinator at Fishergate Primary School during the joint research and is now the deputy head teacher at Bishopthorpe Infant School in York.
