The Child's World
By: Robertson, Margaret (ed.); Gerber, Rod (ed.)
Published by: Australian Council for Educational Research
Young people who live most of their lives in the 21st century
face dilemmas hardly experienced in the 20th century world:
the rapid compression of space and time; an unprecedented rate
of cultural and technological change; the dissolution of many
traditional boundaries. Already, children live in a world unknown
to us in our childhood they surf the net, play virtual games
and interact with cyberspace.
What skills are required to help children navigate these very
different spaces? How do they construct their identity and sense
of place? How can educators bring order to their experiences and
promote learning for the future?
The Childs World strives to answer these questions and more.
Drawing on contributions from educators worldwide, it incorporates
recent research and case studies to provide insight into how
children interact with the world around them, and how this
understanding can be used to improve learning.

Child-Centred Education
By: Doddington, Christine; Hilton, Mary
Published by: Sage Publications, Ltd (UK)
'The book is brief, accessible, and inspiring. The authors' vision for educating children fully takes into consideration the experiences that children have with contemporary technology and media while also maintaining basic principles of children's development' - Choice Magazine. Against an increasingly authoritarian background of testing and instruction, concern is growing about disengagement and loss of depth and quality in education at all levels. Child Centred Education seeks to explore the role of Primary education within this debate. The book will inspire teachers and head teachers seeking to make their practice more genuinely educational. The authors capture the current opinion that primary schools can begin to reclaim some of their autonomy, be innovative and become more creative. Based on wide ranging research, the book sets out to revive the creative alternative to. the rigid and impoverished learning experienced by too many primary school children. The authors: -Trace the origins and history of the child-centred tradition -Set out its fundamental beliefs and values -Explore its place in education today. This book is for teachers, school governors, local authority officers, undergraduate and postgraduate teacher training, and professional development courses.

By: Invernizzi, Antonella; Williams, Jane
Published by: Sage Publications, Ltd (UK)
`This collection..is outstanding. It has an excellent grasp of the field and students in fields of both social studies of childhood and children's rights and citizenship will gain a lot from reading and studying the book' - Jens Qvortrup, Professor of Sociology, University of Trondheim. `Anyone who is concerned with citizenship should grapple with the thesis in this collection. This stimulating book will provoke discussion of what is involved in recognising that children are as much part of our society as adults' - Professor Michael Freeman, Editor of International Journal of Children's Rights. Children and Citizenship offers a contemporary and critical approach to notions of children's citizenship. Drawing on different disciplinary perspectives and including contributions by leading scholars in the field, this book makes explicit connections between theoretical approaches, representations of childhood, the experiences of children themselves, legal instruments, policies and their implementation. Each chapter presents complex issues in an accessible way, helping readers to understand notions of children's citizenship that are embedded in contemporary debates. Children and Citizenship is an important and timely book and will be invaluable for undergraduate and postgraduate students across a wide number of disciplines, including health, social work, childhood studies, youth studies, education, law and social policy, together with policy-makers and practitioners in allied areas.

Children's Ways of Knowing
By: Robertson, Margaret (ed.); Gerber, Rod (ed.)
Published by: Australian Council for Educational Research
How do young people navigate their way through school, home
and the Internet? What value systems are they adopting?
What strategies are young people using to learn: problem solving,
trial and error, risk taking, common-sense learning, intuition or
activity based learning? In order to motivate children to learn in
classrooms, educational practices need to evolve from the content
and range of young peoples personal experiences.
In their first book, The Childs World (ACER Press 2000), Margaret
Robertson and Rod Gerber examined the idea that insight into
how children interact with the world around them can be used to
improve their ways of learning.
Childrens Ways of Knowing explores further the experiences of
children as they make sense of their environment. This collection
of essays draws on contributions from experts in fields as diverse
as education, information technology, popular culture, philosophy,
geography, architecture and the environment.

Choice Words
By: Johnston, Peter
Published by: Stenhouse Publishers
In productive classrooms, teachers don't just teach children skills: they build emotionally and relationally healthy learning communities. Teachers create intellectual environments that produce not only technically competent students, but also caring, secure, actively literate human beings. Choice Words shows how teachers accomplish this using their most powerful teaching tool: language. Throughout, Peter Johnston provides examples of apparently ordinary words, phrases, and uses of language that are pivotal in the orchestration of the classroom. Grounded in a study by accomplished literacy teachers, the book demonstrates how the things we say (and don't say) have surprising consequences for what children learn and for who they become as literate people. Through language, children learn how to become strategic thinkers, not merely learning the literacy strategies. In addition, Johnston examines the complex learning that teachers produce in classrooms that is hard to name and thus is not recognized by tests, by policy-makers, by the general public, and often by teachers themselves, yet is vitally important. This book will be enlightening for any teacher who wishes to be more conscious of the many ways their language helps children acquire literacy skills and view the world, their peers, and themselves in new ways.
