Historical changes in play are taking place in childhood all over the world, with the digitalisation of children’s lives. Researchers are worried about the disappearance of advanced forms of play and the prioritization of time spent with loving adults, supporting play with babies and toddlers. At the same time, our understanding about the crucial importance of individual development is becoming clearer. The Routledge International Handbook of Early Childhood Play explores these issues and more. It proposes the importance of adult participation in play, as adult guidance brings the possibility of moral, cultural and symbolic elements to children’s play, and enhances the educational opportunities in adult-child joint play. The book also examines the aesthetic dimension of play and its role in the development of imagination and creativity. With contributors from many parts of the world, this unique handbook brings together the latest research and highlights practice which focuses on play. This is an essential and engaging read for all students, academics, teachers and practitioners with an interest in play.
Cultural-historical theory addresses issues of child development through acquisition of cultural experience as a process of complex cultural activity and thus makes an emphasis on educational process as structured way of learning. Research issues that are raised starting from works of Vygotsky and his followers are connected with educational environment, instruction possibilities and effectiveness, relations of play and education, cognition and emotion in educational process, etc. For the past 40 years special attention in terms of practical application was devoted to elaboration of methods that are used for measuring effectiveness of educational environment (for example, CLASS, ECERS), structural changes in consciousness of a child (for example, executive functions research, research of organization of play activity and development of symbolic function).
La propuesta conceptual del libro La imaginación narrativa creadora en la niñez se centra en la posibilidad de aprender a imaginar el mundo interior del otro desde la infancia y, de ese modo, aprender a transformar las propias acciones al salir al encuentro del otro, y ello para aportar esta etapa del desarrollo psicológico en diversas condiciones de vida: trastorno del espectro autista, déficit de atención, discapacidad intelectual, extrema pobreza, conflicto armado, condición de migración, entre otras. Centrada en ayudar a mejorar las condiciones de convivencia y paz desde que se es niño, esta obra contribuye tanto desde el ámbito del desarrollo personal y psicológico-emocional como desde el cultural y sociopolítico, a que se constituya evidencia de esta nueva línea de investigación que surge.
Dos de los grandes retos que enfrenta la investigación sobre estudiantes universitarios son la formación del pensamiento creativo a través de transformaciones pedagógicas y didácticas que dejen huella en sus vidas, y la sistematizas de las experiencias didácticas desarrolladas con estos. Por ello, la investigación relacionada con la formación del pensamiento creativo en estudiantes universitarios se constituye en tema crucial para investigación en educación superior. La investigación, en el que participaron siete estudiantes del programa de Fonoaudiología de la Escuela de Medicina y Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad del Rosario, da paso a este libro en el que se muestra el desarrollo del pensamiento creativo al usar el lenguaje como herramienta de la psique y, a manera de bitácora diaria y personal, presenta los cuentos creados por las estudiantes.
Documents an important yet much neglected practice in prenatal medicine Provides a challenging new perspective on how ethically-challenging biomedical technologies are routinised and normalised in a contentious context Offers in-depth research for key debates in sociology, anthropology, bioethics, genetics, and STS Explores how ideas around disability are reproduced in the clinic and feed into wider discourses about disablement in Western culture
Subjetividades críticas transformadoras y solidarias: reflexiones y prácticas es el resultado de un proyecto de investigación desarrollado en el marco de la alianza entre la Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia (UNAD) (Colombia), la Universidad de la República (Uruguay) y la Universidad Nacional de las Artes (Argentina). Tres instituciones y tres colectivos académicos con un interés común: aportar desde la educación superior a la construcción de “otros mundos posibles”. En este orden de ideas, se realiza una exploración en torno a discursos y prácticas con capacidad para evidenciar o incidir en la producción de subjetividades críticas, transformadoras y solidarias.
