Bøger af Iram Siraj-Blatchford

Denne grundbog er til specialiseringen i dagtilbudspædagogik på den nye pædagoguddannelse. Bogen anlægger et etisk og videnskabeligt perspektiv på dagtilbudspædagogik og pædagogisk praksis med det afsæt at præsentere den seneste viden på området af både danske og internationale forfattere, der på forskellig vis er knyttet til undervisning, udvikling og forskning inden for dagtilbudsfeltet. Læseren præsenteres for historiske og aktuelle problemstillinger og tænkemåder, ikke mindst empirisk viden om disse, og der lægges i den forbindelse vægt på at understøtte den studerendes evne til at kunne træffe beslutninger, skønne og handle professionelt ud fra såvel forskningsviden, professionsviden som praksisviden.Bogen behandler bekendtgørelsens fire kompetenceområder for dagtilbudsspecialiseringen i fire dele:1) Barndom, kultur og læring2) Profession og organisation3) Relation og kommunikation4) Samarbejde og udviklingHver del består af en række kapitler, der på forskellig vis bidrager til at perspektivere dele af den aktuelle viden og forskning inden for kompetenceområdet. Hvert kapitel indeholder forslag til den studerendes selvaktivitet – både individuelt og i grupper.Forslag til selvaktivitet findes på bogens hjemmeside: www.dafolo.dk/profpædagog.

This is the third edition of the "e;ECERS-E"e;, formerly called "e;Assessing Quality in the Early Years: Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale"e; ("e;ECERS-E"e;). The ECERS-E is an instrument for measuring quality in literacy, numeracy, science and diversity as observable in pre-school in relation to child cognitive and social/behavioural developmental outcomes for children age 3-5. This new update of the 2003 publication has more extensive notes, derived from feedback from extensive use of the instrument by practitioners in hundreds of settings and from local authority early years specialists. The ECERS-E complements the Early Childhood Rating Scales-Revised (ECERS-R), an internationally recognised measure of quality in education and care. Originally devised as a research tool, the scales are used increasingly by Local Authorities during audits to determine and improve the quality of provision, and by practitioners seeking to improve their practice through professional development. This practical handbook offers detailed guidance on providing a quality environment in which young children and their learning can flourish.

Provides an easy-to-use instrument for measuring quality in literacy, mathematics, science, and diversity as observable in pre-school settings. The domains within the scales bear important relationships to children's (age 3-5) cognitive and social/behavioural developmental outcomes. The ECERS-E complements ECERS-R, an internationally recognized measure of quality in education and care.

Presents evidence and practical guidance on how to develop young children's emerging language, especially those children who have English as an additional language, and how to generate, activate and assess curriculum for diversity.
