Описание: Children's Learning and Development: Contemporary assessment in the early years is an introduction to early childhood learning and the what, why and how of assessment for diverse learners. Assessment has become a key part of the developments for the Early Years Learning Framework in Australia and Te Wh?riki in New Zealand. Assessment has several important purposes, including: - Informing what and how teachers plan learning experiences - Identifying areas of learning and development where children may need support or extensions - Integrating learning with curriculum and program provision Children's Learning and Development explores assessment through historical theories, philosophies and beliefs, social and cultural contexts, individual differences, and provides information on current assessment tools. These tools include national standardised testing, school entry assessments and international benchmark testing such as PIRLS and PISA. It also discusses how early years assessment is approached and understood within Australian and New Zealand frameworks and how we compare to international curriculum documents from countries such as the US, the UK, Sweden and Singapore. With the aid of teacher reflections, case studies and pedagogical features such as reflection points, key terms and useful resources, Children's Learning and Development is a must have resource for all early childhood education students and practitioners. Key Features • Discusses how early years assessment is approached and understood within a range of international curriculum documents. • Boxes containing teacher reflections and case studies throughout the text help students place learning in context. • Current assessment tools in use in Australian and New Zealand are examined, including national standardised testing, school entry assessments and international benchmarking testing such as PIRLS and PISA.

Описание: The controversy over homework has raged for over 100 years and is being reignited by new research by educators not only about homework's purpose and design, but also about the definition of the word itself. Through years of research, the authors propose that a sociocultural conception of homework provides a superior explanation for the value of homework for student learning. Reforming Homework discusses the sociocultural conception of homework and the research conducted into schools which are engaging in these reform practices. The book argues that there are two main problems with homework as it is currently planned and organised. First, much homework is repetitive (practice) and does not contribute to new learning. Secondly, much homework is too complex and difficult for students to complete by themselves. Such complex tasks come at a considerable cost to family life, parental time and equity. The book promotes the view that there are different ways of approaching homework as a cultural practice and that there are different ways of ways of organising homework for different school and cultural contexts.
