Understanding how best to do this for young children aged 3-7 is the focus of the book.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e By concentrating on practical and naturally occurring experiences the authors look at meeting the needs of the curriculum with children at the centre of their own learning.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapters look at how to work with children to: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFind out and develop their own ideas\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGet them inquiring scientifically\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUse evidence to support their views\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will really help develop the whole child across the curriculum and make sure they have the skills they need for later learning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTerry Russell\u003c\/b\u003e is emeritus professor at the University of Liverpool. He is a psychologist by background and training with a special interest in cognitive development as applied to the learning of science at all ages, but especially the younger age range. He taught in primary and secondary special needs schools and worked as an educational psychologist before finding opportunities into move into research. He has worked in Southeast Asia and Africa and at King's College, London and directed the Centre for Research in Primary Science and Technology at the University of Liverpool for over twenty years. He has directed national and international projects and published extensively. This book reflects his commitment to evidence-based activity that improves teachers' and pupils' educational experiences, where theory informs practice through practical and accessible applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr Linda McGuigan\u003c\/b\u003e has an established record of research into the emergence and development of science understanding in the Early Years. Formerly a primary teacher and Deputy Director of the Centre for Research in Primary Science and Technology at the University of Liverpool, Linda has conducted and managed research into children's conceptual development in science, assessment and curriculum development. Attracting national and international interest, her work has been funded by national assessment and curriculum agencies. She has co-authored a number of books, reports, articles and digital and hard copy materials to support Early Years practice. Focusing on children's conceptual progression, she brings a developmental perspective to science learning, teaching and assessment. Linda's PhD investigated the impact of multimodal approaches on children's science learning. Multimodal learning continues to be an important feature of her research and professional development activities. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9.5 x 6.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 18, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50379374526701,"sku":"9781473912519","price":133.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/XyW22ls1q39781473912519.webp?v=1785662384","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-au\/products\/exploring-science-with-young-children-a-developmental-perspective-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
