This open access book develops a theoretical concept of teaching that is relevant to early childhood education, and based on children’s learning and development through play. It discusses theoretical premises and research on playing and learning, and proposes the development of play-responsive didaktik. It examines the processes and products of learning and development, teaching and its phylogenetic and ontogenetic development, as well as the ‘what’ of learning and didaktik. Next, it explores the actions, objects and meaning of play and provides insight into the diversity of beliefs about the practices of play. The book presents ideas on how combined research and development projects can be carried out, providing incentive and a model for practice development and research. The second part of the book consists of empirical studies on teacher’s playing skills and examples of play with very young as well as older children.
Qualitative analyses of young children’s learning in natural settings are rare, so this new book will make educators sit up and pay attention.

Bilderbücher regen Kinder auf vielfältige Weise zum Lernen an. Allerdings fehlt es bislang an einer fachübergreifenden Perspektive auf die Arbeit mit Bilderbüchern in didaktischen und unterrichtlichen Zusammenhängen. Die interdisziplinären Beiträge dieses Bandes untersuchen, welches Potential Bilderbücher für die Förderung der kindlichen Lernentwicklung haben. Durch die Verbindung didaktischer Zugänge aus Sprach- und Mathematikdidaktik, Sachunterricht und Sonderpädagogik bietet der Band konkrete praktische Anregungen zum Einsatz von Bilderbüchern im inklusiven und fächerübergreifenden Unterricht an der Grundschule. Er wendet sich an Vertreter:innen unterschiedlicher Fachdidaktiken, Studierende des Grundschullehramts und der Sonderpädagogik sowie Praktiker:innen in Kitas und Grundschulen oder in der Weiterbildung.
