dc.descriptionThis paper is part of a series of four research papers accompanying 'Aistear, the Early Childhood Curriculum Framework'. The paper addresses the relationship between play, development and learning with the ultimate aim of elaborating on the place of play in the Framework. In this respect, the paper seeks both to re-examine the ‘taken for granted’ position of play as central to early childhood curricula, and to conceptualise a rigorous understanding of a ‘pedagogy of play’ that has relevance for children in the diversity of early childhood care and education (ECCE) settings in Ireland, and across the broad age range of early childhood from birth to six years. Throughout the paper, the term ‘pedagogy of play’ is used to capture the content and approach to play in the context of ECCE settings and in particular in relation to children’s well-being, learning and development.en_US
dc.description.abstractA review of research Much of the research used to develop Aistear is summarised in four papers: 1. Perspectives on the relationship between education and care in early childhood (Hayes, 2007) 2. Children’s early learning and development (French, 2007) 3. Play as a context for early learning and development (Kernan, 2007) 4. Supporting children’s early learning and development through formative assessment (Dunphy, 2008). These papers are on the NCCA website at www.ncca.ie/earlylearning. This booklet summarises each paper and concludes with an overview of the key messages.
