Guest Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 I am being a bit lazy really as I am not sure where to find the information - I am looking for contemporary theorists who theorise the physical development of children 0-20 months - I can think of Piaget sensorimotor - but have drawn a blank on information. Help please? Nikki Quote
Marion Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Jerome Bruner "Movement plays a central role in children's development and learning. Observe almost any infant, in almost any setting, and you will see ample evidence of this: through movement children learn about their bodies, their physical and social environments: they try out different roles and rules; they test themselves. Indeed, it might be claimed that movement, action and play make up the 'culture of childhood' (Bruner,1983). 1 Quote
Guest Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Thanks Marion - I have to produce a poster on contemporary theorists on physical play - the tutor said to look at the medical/health theorists but no idea how to do this. Hopefully some others may come up with something. Nikki Quote

EmerSlattery Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Hi all, I want to use that Bruner (1983) quote included on this thread. I have searched 'Child's Talk: Learning to Use Language'; a book published by Bruner on this year and the quote is not there. I need to reference it; could you please let me know which book this quote came from. Kind regards, Emer Quote
FSFRebecca Posted April 24, 2017 Posted April 24, 2017 Hi, it's a very old thread .... I've had a quick look for you - I can find the quote cited again here https://books.google.co.uk/books/about/Learning_in_the_Early_Years.html?id=XKFmUf3j-04C&hl=en&output=html_text Quote
