This book examines the pedagogical encounters within children's ecological and socio-cultural historical contexts, and aspects of playful learning and development within these contexts. It addresses research and practices varying across learning contexts, providing easily adaptable exemplary practices leading to children's positive learning and development. The book offers a unified general cultural-historical theoretical model for exploring new contexts at different stages of children's learning and development. It suggests studying contexts as a source of development, as social situations of development. It analyzes play, early learning and the transition from play to school learning. It also explores the role of teachers and parents in supporting the development of executive functions, digital literacy, creative inquiries, problem solving and creativity as necessary and important prerequisites of children's school academic achievements. This volume contributes to the discourse on how children's learning is shaped in the 21st century era. It equips educators and parents with new and effective methods of creating developing contexts in their daily practice and to fully utilize the developing potential of existing contexts.

This book considers the important issue of "normality" and "atypicality" in child development. It examines some of the main circumstances of atypical development from a psychological perspective. Topics - such as emotional and behavioral difficulties, child abuse, learning disability - are linked through an integrating theoretical framework which incorporates different theories of child development. Possible explanations of the "hows and whys" of atypical development are discussed in relation to recent research findings relating to intervention and the practical implications for the family.

A new edition of this book is available. `This is an admirable, modern textbook on child development, which is compact, beautifully organized and laid out and hence is easy to read and use. It also incorporates all the pedagogic methods which one expects in good textbooks nowadays, such as stating the aims of each chapter in bold at the beginning, together with a useful summary in a text-box and a glossary at the end of each chapter.... I was also very pleased to find that Keenan had included much of the modern thinking about child development which so many other university-level "introductions" seem, so far, to have neglected′ - Young Minds `This book is well written, with a flowing narrative. It provides an excellent coverage of methods and theories in developmental psychology′ - J Gavin Bremner, Department of Psychology, Lancaster University This outstanding textbook presents a comprehensive introduction to developmental psychology that is engaging, yet detailed and thorough. Covering all the major topics in child development, the book offers a grounding in the principles which govern research and theory in contemporary child development, and surveys the theories and research methods which are essential to developing a firm knowledge of the field. Key features include: · Coverage of the child′s ′theory of mind′ under the rubric of social development; · an introduction to ′emotion regulation′ in the chapter on emotional development; · Coverage of some key theories such as ′dynamic systems theory′ and ′evolutionary psychology′. Ideal for students taking a first course in child or lifespan development, the book assumes little or no background in the subject.

This perceptive work examines the relationship between child development and social welfare, exploring the interactions between children's moral and intellectual development, their relationships with parents and peers, and the socioeconomic background in which they live. Drawing on many areas of developmental psychology, the author presents an integrated approach which stresses that a child's self-perception, as well as his or her perception of the nature of parenthood and of society, form a basis for marality and achievement in adolescence and early adulthood. Siegal considers the implications of shifting patterns of parenthood in recent years--the working mother, the increasingly mobile family--and he weighs the potential influence of an interventionist developmental psychology on social welfare policy.

Using a comparative-cultural perspective, this collection of essays examines the co-constructivist nature of human development in culturally organized environments. The contributions also cover a large age span--infancy to adulthood. Chapters in part 1 cover two different directions in the study of early adult-infant interaction from a comparative cultural perspective. Chapters in part 2 are devoted to child socialization in the cultural-ecological contexts of Southern Italy and India. Chapters in part 3 examine the co-construction of self in adolescence. Chapters in part 4 provide a cross-cultural analysis of the meaning of intelligence or "intellectual competence." Following an introduction to the comparative-cultural perspective (Valsiner), the chapter titles are: (1) "The Study of Early Interaction in a Contextual Perspective: Culture, Communication, and Eye Contact" (Scholmerich and others); (2) "Transformation and Construction in Social Interaction: A New Perspective on Analysis of the Mother-Infant Dyad" (Lyra and Rossetti-Ferreira); (3) "'Amoral Familism' and Child Development: Edward Banfield and the Understanding of Child Socialization in Southern Italy" (Benigni and Valsiner); (4) "Childrearing Practices Relevant for the Growth of Dependency and Competence in Children" (Sinha); (5) "Transformation of Women's Social Roles in India" (Verma); (6) "A Co-Constructivist Perspective of Life-Course Changes among Havik Brahmins in a South India Village (Ullrich); (7) "Culture and Self-Concept among Adolescents with Bicultural Parentage: A Social Constructionist Approach" (Minoura); (8) "Persons' Conception of Human Nature: A Cross-Cultural Comparison" (Oerter); (9) "The Meaning of Intellectual Competence: Views from a 'Favela'" (Oliveira); and (10) "Cultural and Environmental Influences in the Acquisition of Concepts of Intellectual Competence" (Keats). An epilogue, "Comparative-Cultural Co-Constructionism and its Discontents (Valsiner) examines some of the difficulties inherent in the comparative-cultural co-constructionist perspective. Each section begins with an editorial introduction, and each chapter includes references. (HTH)

This book addresses cultural variability in children’s social worlds, examining the acquisition, development, and use of culturally relevant social competencies valued in diverse cultural contexts. It discusses the different aspects of preschoolers’ social competencies that allow children – including adopted, immigrant, or at-risk children – to create and maintain relationships, communicate, and to get along with other people at home, in daycare or school, and other situations. Chapters explore how children’s social competencies reflect the features of the social worlds in which they live and grow. In addition, chapters examine the extent that different cultural value orientations manifest in children’s social functioning and escribes how parents in autonomy-oriented cultures tend to value different social skills than parents with relatedness or autonomous-relatedness orientations. The book concludes with recommendations for future research directions. Topics featured in this book include: Gender development in young children. Peer interactions and relationships during the preschool years. Sibling interactions in western and non-western cultural groups. The roles of grandparents in child development. Socialization and development in refugee children. Child development within institutional care. Children’s Social Worlds in Cultural Context is a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians/practitioners, and graduate students in developmental psychology, child and school psychology, social work, cultural anthropology, family studies, and education.
