Developing Thinking and Understanding in Young Children - An introduction for students

By Sue Robson (Routledge, 22.99, ISBN 9780415609715)

This second edition provides an updated overview of contemporary theory and research about children's developing thinking and understanding. This is brought to life with transcripts of children's activities and conversations taken from practice and contemporary research, with the aim of helping readers to make links between theory, research and practice.

There is a new chapter on young children's musical thinking, expanded sections on self-regulation, metacognition and creative thinking, and the use of video to observe and describe young children's thinking.
