Download or read book Introducing Bronfenbrenner written by Nóirín Hayes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children learn in contexts, and the spaces, places and people they come into contact with have a deep influence on their development. Urie Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological model of development places the child at the centre of this complex network, and his influence has been extensive in early childhood education. This book presents an introduction to Bronfenbrenner’s model of development, drawing on practice-based research to identify and animate key elements of his model’s impact. It illustrates how his model can help bring quality to early learning environments and incorporates it into daily work with young children. As well as providing a glossary of key terms, Introducing Bronfenbrenner covers areas such as: a bioecological perspective on educational transition; early education as a dynamic process; nurturing children’s learning and development; reflecting the bioecological in early years practice. Using a variety of vignettes, practical examples of good practice and case studies, Introducing Bronfenbrenner is an essential guide to his work. It will be of interest to professionals working with children in early childhood settings and to undergraduate students training to become early childhood professionals.

Book Synopsis The Bronfenbrenner Primer by : Lawrence Shelton
Download or read book The Bronfenbrenner Primer written by Lawrence Shelton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first ever introduction to Urie Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Framework written specifically for undergraduate students. The author provides a carefully structured, guided introduction to Bronfenbrenner’s concepts, their interpretation, and their potential applications. Bronfenbrenner’s scientific analysis of the role the environment plays in human development earned him a premier place alongside Jean Piaget, Sigmund Freud, and Erik Erikson as a contributor to our understanding of developmental processes. His ideas are essential for analysing how development happens, how it goes astray, how to right it when it does, and how to create environments that will promote healthy development. The Bronfenbrenner Primer walks students through each component of the framework in a logical order, helping students build a solid, systematic understanding. It describes the background and context that led Bronfenbrenner to develop his framework, illustrates a wide array of potential applications, and provides activities students can do to practice applying the framework to their own experience. Honed over 25 years of teaching Bronfenbrenner’s ideas, this text will be essential reading for students across the behavioral and social sciences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you work in the early years, you have probably heard of Montessori and Bronfenbrenner - but have you heard of Bavolek or Fisher?

Book Synopsis Mentoring for Young People in Care and Leaving Care by : Bernadine Brady
Download or read book Mentoring for Young People in Care and Leaving Care written by Bernadine Brady and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-06 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mentoring for Young People in Care and Leaving Care offers a rich exploration of the theory, research and practice relating to youth mentoring as a means of essential social support. Brady, Dolan and McGregor ground their work on the premise that the informal social support provided through a high-quality mentoring relationship can help young people in care to sustain positive mental health, cope with stress and fulfil their potential through adolescence and into adulthood. It provides an up-to-date synthesis of research findings in relation to natural mentoring, formal mentoring and youth-initiated mentoring for children in care and explores the challenges and considerations relating to practice in this area. Illustrated with the details of original research with care-experienced young people, it offers much-needed insight into how young people interpret and make sense of their experiences in care and of mentoring. Written to be accessible by those with limited knowledge of youth mentoring, this timely publication will be essential reading for academics, policy makers and practitioners in the fields of adolescent development, social care, social work and youth work.
Book Synopsis Nursing Skills for Children and Young People's Mental Health by : Laurence Baldwin
Download or read book Nursing Skills for Children and Young People's Mental Health written by Laurence Baldwin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-08-02 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on those nursing skills that are truly valued and needed by children and young people with mental health problems. Whilst other books have chiefly focused on mental health conditions and treatments, this book moves away from this formulaic approach and considers what children and youth themselves need most from health professionals. It shows why nursing skills are among the most precious values for patients. This focus on therapeutic relationships, establishing trust-based forms of nursing, and empowering children and young people to develop into healthy and resilient young adults has largely been neglected, despite the feedback from those who urgently need help but often struggle to find it, or are wary of seeking help and reluctant to engage. This book focuses on the places where nurses encounter young people and seek to help them. It examines the role nurses play in specialist child and adolescent mental health settings (such as in-patient and community, as psychotherapists, and on self-harm teams) and where paediatrics nurses work with troubled young people (in emergency departments, paediatric wards and primary care). It also considers two specific areas, namely eating disorder services and consent-seeking, that could benefit from nursing skills that are currently undervalued, but are in fact invaluable. Its focus on those skills that nurses already have, but may not be consciously using, will make this book uniquely appealing to all nurses who work with children and young people with mental health problems, regardless of the setting, and an essential guide for students and experienced professionals alike.

Book Synopsis Ebook: Psychology and Educational Inclusion: Identifying and Supporting Learners with SEN by : Georgia Niolaki
Download or read book Ebook: Psychology and Educational Inclusion: Identifying and Supporting Learners with SEN written by Georgia Niolaki and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2023-12-08 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a holistic evidence-based approach to special educational needs and inclusive practice. Psychology has an important role within the inclusive process, but it can be misused and so must be understood and adopted critically and reflectively to prevent exclusion. The book draws on psychological and educational theories, research, and practice in order to increase students' and practitioners' understanding of issues related to identifying, assessing, and supporting learners with neurodivergences, difficulties, or Special Educational Needs (SEN) within educational settings. It includes chapters that explore different SEN and the methods and approaches used to identify and support students. These approaches exist along what we propose is the ‘special and inclusive education continuum’. Drawing on theory and research from psychology, readers will evaluate and apply a range of different approaches, while reflecting on and developing their own practice. This book provides in-depth consideration of some of the most common SEN and issues of co-occurrence. It also explores prevalent but often neglect SEN, including socio-economic disadvantages, additional language learning, migrants and refugees, and why gifted students have SEN.

Book Synopsis Finding the Valuable Person by : Chris Steed
Download or read book Finding the Valuable Person written by Chris Steed and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-06-13 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding the Valuable Person proposes a new form of therapy. The big theme is that experiences of being devalued when we are not seen or heard, diminished or suffer indignities evoke responses that show up in distress clients bring. These reactions show a prime human need for our personhood to be valuable and validated that generates soul-hungers (for connection, desire, significance, and hope) that are largely unconscious. It is a fundamental drive that can be explored with clients in the way we are relational, embodied makers of meaning and respond to agency and dignity. This constitutes four domains of the REMA approach to therapy developed in this book. Every counseling approach has its presuppositions: most describe the human person as an individual entity, separated from social context. REMA pays attention to both. REMA is theologically attuned but also incorporates realities such as gender and race that have reshaped society profoundly. For the alignment of biblical faith and counseling psychology, it is profoundly important to be attuned in both directions. REMA is not only an innovative theoretical approach, it is a working model, currently offered in a community setting but of wider application. Anyone can use it!
Book Synopsis Parental Engagement and Early Childhood Education Around the World by : Susanne Garvis
Download or read book Parental Engagement and Early Childhood Education Around the World written by Susanne Garvis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-23 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the importance of parental engagement in early childhood education, this book delves into research and practices in 25 countries to bring students, researchers, teachers and policy-makers insights into working families around the world. The incorporation and consideration of parental engagement and involvement in early childhood education are a new phenomenon to many countries. Yet, increasing research recognises the importance of parental engagement and involvement in early childhood education services, and the role both parents and teachers play to support children’s learning and development. Using a range of materials from curriculum to policy documents, Garvis et al. demonstrate differences in practices and terminologies pertaining to the topic and provide an international perspective on the importance of parental involvement and engagement in early childhood education services. The content covers a range of countries as well as countries beyond an ‘Anglo-Saxon’ perspective. The different policy settings across these countries highlight how countries work with, and involve, parents differently, which is useful for jurisdictions where early childhood education is a developing aspect of a country’s education system. Looking at cultural influences, partnership approaches, parental collaboration, institutional dominance and child involvement in parent meetings, the content offers readers real understanding of parental engagement and involvement in different settings. The readership includes students in early childhood education, and researchers, teachers, policy makers, and general members of the public interested in parental engagement or involvement in early childhood education across the globe.

This book was released on 2024-09-24 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many individuals with hearing impairments face significant challenges when transitioning from education to employment. These challenges are often exacerbated by a lack of understanding, limited support structures, and inadequate resources. As a result, they may struggle to find and maintain meaningful employment, leading to increased societal exclusion and economic hardship. Addressing these challenges requires a comprehensive understanding of the unique needs and barriers faced by hearing impaired individuals, and evidence-based strategies to support their successful transition into the workforce. Perspectives on Career Transitioning of Students with Hearing Impairments offers a comprehensive solution to the challenges of career transitioning for these students that have had educational resources that may be of reach as they enter the workforce. Drawing on extensive research and practical insights, the book provides a nuanced understanding of hearing impairment and its impact on career development. It explores various topics, including existing knowledge and attitudes, theories and methods, educational and policy issues, intervention studies, and guidelines for supporting these individuals in their career transitions. The book aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice by addressing these topics and offering actionable strategies and recommendations for educators, policymakers, and practitioners.
