Guest Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Hi I have to write an essay on how children learn, i was going to start by talking about how the brain develops then go into theroies/schema's etc, i'm not sure if this is the right angle to go in at now, i have been at this all day - can anyone recommend a book about brain development which is easy reading.... As i'm just not sure where to begin.... It's due in next week so i really must get a move on...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 found this with a google search, do you have to read books or can you write your essay from internet research, seeing as you only have a week? HOW CHILDREN LEARN Looks quite good and a bibliography for further reading. Me personally I like the classics, Piaget, Donaldson, Wood, Vygotsky, and recent years Tina Bruce, etc Good luck, Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Practical Preschool published a book called 'How Children Learn' all about theorists - that should be quite easy reading. I have got an Open University book called 'How Children Think and Learn' by David Wood which is good and also 'Childrens Minds' by Margaret Donaldson which I only ever got half way through!

pickle Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 There is a book called "Developing Learning in Early Childhood" by Tina Bruce. It has a whole chapter on Mind and Brain development and loads of other stuff too. You can see a limited preview on google books. I have to say though, I usually really love Tina Bruce books but this one has neven really grabbed me. Hope it helps you though - good luck with the studying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
