About this item

by Aaron Bradbury (Editor), Ruth Swailes (Editor)

If you work in the early years, you have probably heard of Montessori and Bronfenbrenner - but have you heard of Bavolek, Fisher or Page? Contemporary theorists and theories of early childhood learning have much to teach us. It is often forgotten that this learning is still evolving and that new voices are joining the discussion every year.

With new chapters on Maslow, Bowlby, Piaget and Vygotsky, this second edition introduces you to some contemporary theorists and explores their work alongside more well-known thinkers. It demonstrates how these theories relate to everyday practice in the early years and that discussion of them can support ongoing professional learning.
