Play = Learning: How Play Motivates and Enhances Children's Cognitive and Social-Emotional Growth de Dorothy G. Singer

Play = Learning: How Play Motivates and Enhances Children's Cognitive and Social-Emotional Growth

Editat de Dorothy G. Singer, Roberta Michnick Golinkoff, Kathy Hirsh-Pasek
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 sep 2006

Coordonat de Dorothy G. Singer, Roberta Michnick Golinkoff și Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, acest volum publicat de Oxford University Press reprezintă o intervenție critică în psihologia educației. Autoritatea editorială este indiscutabilă: Dorothy G. Singer aduce decenii de experiență de la Yale University, unde a explorat relația dintre media și dezvoltarea cognitivă, în timp ce Hirsh-Pasek este o figură centrală în studiul învățării prin joc. Lucrarea fundamentează argumentele pe patru decenii de cercetare empirică, oferind o replică riguroasă tendinței actuale de a transforma grădinițele în spații de instruire academică rigidă.

Subliniem modul în care textul demonstrează că eliminarea jocului în favoarea unor sarcini cognitive inadecvate vârstei nu doar că nu produce „mici Einsteini”, ci contribuie la epuizarea timpurie a elevilor. Reținem structura echilibrată a cărții, care face trecerea de la mecanismele neurobiologice ale învățării la implicații sociale majore, precum combaterea obezității infantile prin activitate fizică ludică. Play = Learning este comparabil cu All Work and No Play… de Sharna Olfman în rigurozitatea cu care critică sistemul testărilor standardizate, dar este actualizat pentru a include strategii specifice de integrare a învățării „bucuroase” în curriculumul școlar modern.

În contextul operei editorilor, acest volum completează viziunea din A Piaget Primer, unde Dorothy G. Singer a tradus conceptele fundamentale ale lui Jean Piaget pentru publicul larg. Dacă lucrările anterioare se concentrau pe etapele dezvoltării sau pe influența media, precum Handbook of Children and the Media, lucrarea de față sintetizează aceste direcții într-un manifest pentru protejarea spațiului de joc ca motor principal al creșterii socio-emoționale și intelectuale.

Descriere

Why is it that the best and brightest of our children are arriving at college too burned out to profit from the smorgasbord of intellectual delights that they are offered? Why is it that some preschools and kindergartens have a majority of children struggling to master cognitive tasks that are inappropriate for their age? Why is playtime often considered to be time unproductively spent?In Play=Learning, top experts in child development and learning contend that the answers to these questions stem from a single source: in the rush to create a generation of Einsteins, our culture has forgotten about the importance of play for children's development. Presenting a powerful argument about the pervasive and long-term effects of play, Singer, Golinkoff, and Hirsh-Pasek urge researchers and practitioners to reconsider the ways play facilitates development across domains. Over forty years of developmental research indicates that play has enormous benefits to offer children, not the least of which is physical activity in this era of obesity and hypertension. Play provides children with the opportunity to maximize their attention spans, learn to get along with peers, cultivate their creativity, work through their emotions, and gain the academic skills that are the foundation for later learning. Using a variety of methods and studying a wide range of populations, the contributors to this volume demonstrate the powerful effects of play in the intellectual, social, and emotional spheres.Play=Learning will be an important resource for students and researchers in developmental psychology. Its research-based policy recommendations will be valuable to teachers, counselors, and school psychologists in their quest to reintroduce play and joyful learning into our school rooms and living rooms.

Recenzii

"Early childhood educators are well aware of the importance of play in children's lives. This volume is a wonderful collection of chapters by eminent authors, who have thought deeply about play and young children's learning. Readers will find it challenging, provocative, reassuring, and enormously satisfying."--Barbara Bowman, Erikson Institute
"In the current era of scientifically-based education and accountability, this book fills a critical gap in the knowledge base--providing an extensive research review of all the ways play enhances learning and development for all children, including those with special needs. This book should help teachers, administrators, teacher educators, and policy makers go beyond the either/or debates of the past. The evidence is clear--children need both hands-on, educationally enriching play experiences and teacher instruction."--Sue Bredekamp, Ph.D., Director of Research, Council for Professional Recognition, Washington, DC, and Former Director of Professional Development, National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)
"This is a stunning and important book. The authors do more for play than anyone since Vygotsky. In the earliest years, play lays the groundwork for imitative learning, simulation, and contributes to socio-emotional growth. By the third and fourth years, play becomes a critical avenue by which the child experiments with virtual realities and explores future possibilities. Play is sometimes undervalued in the increasingly high-pressured world of child-rearing. This volume transforms how we think about play and is essential reading for developmental psychologists, practitioners, policymakers, and all those who wish to enhance the lives of children."--Andrew N. Meltzoff, co-author, The Scientist in the Crib: What Early Learning Tells Us About the Mind
"In this wonderful book on play, a variety of leading researchers and scholars in the play and child development area review how play helps children develop and learn. There is a special focus on play and the learning process which involves the whole child. This book provides a fresh and up-to-date look at play and areas of adaptive functioning such as literacy, mathematics, and self-regulation. This is a much needed and timely book, as our culture is de-emphasizing the importance of play. Many authors discuss implications of play research for public policy. This book tells us why we, as a society, need to provide time, space, and guidance for children to play."--Sandra W. Russ, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Case Western Reserve University
