Beyond Quality in Early Childhood Education and Care : Languages of Evaluation - Thryft

Rethinking quality in early childhood education.

This book provides an alternative viewpoint to the traditional definition of quality in early childhood education. It challenges the idea that quality can be measured purely through technical measures and instead offers alternative ways of understanding and evaluating early childhood pedagogical work. The book draws on work from Canada, Sweden and Italy and places the issues in a global context. Recommended for those who want to question the dominant discourse of quality and explore alternative ways of understanding and evaluating early childhood education.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Taking a broad approach, this second edition of Beyond Quality in Early Childhood Education and Care relates issues of early childhood to the sociology of childhood, philosophy, ethics, political science and other fields and to an analysis of the world we live in today. It places these issues in a global context and draws on work from Canada, Sweden and Italy, including the world famous nurseries in Reggio Emilia. Working with postmodern ideas, this book questions the search to define and measure quality in the early childhood field and its tendency to reduce philosophical issues of value to purely technical and managerial issues of expert knowledge and measurement. The authors argue that there are other ways than the 'discourse of quality' for understanding and evaluating early childhood pedagogical work and relate these to alternative ways of understanding early childhood itself and the purposes of early childhood institutions.
