Motives in Children's Development: Cultural-Historical Approaches by Mariane Hed

Description: Motives in Children's Development by Mariane Hedegaard, Anne Edwards, Marilyn Fleer Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This book explores childrens development at home, in education and at play, bringing together both a historical and a contemporary view of the role of motives, experience and emotions in this process. The volume as a whole enriches cultural-historical theory about the meaning of motives in childrens development. Publisher Description The contributors to this collection employ the analytic resources of cultural-historical theory to examine the relationship between childhood and childrens development under different societal conditions. In particular they attend to relationships between development, emotions, motives and identities, and the social practices in which children and young people may be learners. These practices are knowledge-laden, imbued with cultural values and emotionally freighted by those who already act in them. The book first discusses the organising principles that underpin a cultural-historical understanding of motives, development and learning. The second section foregrounds childrens lives to exemplify the implications of these ideas as they are played out - examining how children are positioned as learners in pre-school, primary school and play environments. The final section uses the core ideas to look at the implementation of policy aimed at enhancing childrens engagement with opportunities for learning, by discussing motives in the organisations that shape childrens development.
