Exploring how Children Learn in the Early Years
This chapter will consider different ways in which theorists and researchers have sought to explain how young children learn. As you read through this chapter think about your own experiences of learning, both as a child and as an adult. How do these experiences relate to the ideas that you are reading about? If you have a role that involves working with young children, think about what sorts of learning experiences you provide for them. Again, how do these relate to the ideas that are covered here? Consider also whether there are other factors that your experience tells you may be important for effective learning.
