2015

From the publisher: "This ground-breaking handbook provides a much-needed, contemporary and authoritative reference text on young childrens thinking. The different perspectives represented in the thirty-nine chapters contribute to a vibrant picture of young children, their ways of thinking and their efforts at understanding, constructing, and navigating the world. The Routledge International Handbook of Young Childrens Thinking and Understanding brings together commissioned pieces by a range of hand-picked influential, international authors from a variety of disciplines who share a high public profile for their specific developments in the theories of childrens thinking, learning and understanding... Supported throughout with relevant research and case studies, this handbook is an international insight into the many ways there are to understand children and childhood paired with the knowledge that young children have a strong, vital, and creative ability to think and to understand, and to create and contend with the world around them."
