Playful Teaching and Learning

This book draws on a wealth of research on play, learning, pedagogy and curriculum in early childhood education. The contributors rightly emphasize the importance of play to children, and the opportunities that play provides for learning and development. Each of the chapters is informed by international research, and offers contrasting perspectives about different forms of play, and the challenges that practitioners face in their practice. - - Professor Elizabeth Wood, School of Education, University of Sheffield 

Informed by international research along with contrasting perspectives on different forms of play, this book supports students to understand how teaching and learning through play is embedded in global early childhood curriculum and what this actually means in practice.
