1 Play in the Early Years The Early Years Learning Framework is a key component of the Australian Government s National Quality Framework for early childhood education and care. Play-based learning is an important focus in both the Framework and in early childhood education degrees in Australian universities. Play in the Early Years is a comprehensive study of pedagogy and play in early childhood education by a globally recognised leader in the field. In this book, draws on 25 years of experience to examine how play has been thought about and used across time, culture and institutions, including in child care, family day care, schools and community groups. The book presents key research and theories about early childhood pedagogy and play, and analyses these from historical, classical and contemporary perspectives. Vignettes, photographs and real-world examples help students connect theory to practice, while end-of-chapter glossaries help to consolidate understanding of key concepts and ideas. Accessible and engaging, Play in the Early Years is an invaluable resource for practitioners and undergraduate students of early childhood education, and TAFE students in Children s Services. Professor is the Foundation Chair of Early Childhood Education at Monash University, Australia, and is the President of the International Society for Cultural Activity Research.
