Socialt lärande är en central del av fritidshemmets uppdrag, men ofta ses sådant lärande som en biprodukt till andra aktiviteter. Det förväntas då ske av sig självt, som en följd av elevernas egen interaktion. Den här boken, i motsats, anlägger ett didaktiskt perspektiv på socialt lärande, med fokus på de didaktiska frågorna och hur de bildar en helhet i undervisningen.Ett didaktiskt perspektiv på socialt lärande möjliggör en medveten och reflekterad undervisning, där elevers samspel och sociala relationer främjas i praktiken. I boken betonas vikten av att vara en aktiv och delaktig vuxen tillsammans med eleverna i fritidshemmets vardag. I fokus ligger ett undervisande förhållningssätt, vilket innebär att den didaktiska medvetenheten och det relationella arbetet sammanfogas.Boken vänder sig till blivande lärare i fritidshem, men kan också användas av praktiker som ett underlag för reflektion kring den egna undervisningspraktiken.

Global sustainability is impacted by several major issues, including climate change, resource depletion, biodiversity loss, and pollution. Climate change results in extreme weather events, while overreliance on fossil fuels and water scarcity depletes essential resources. Biodiversity loss stems from habitat destruction and species extinction. Pollution, encompassing air, water, and soil contamination, further degrades the environment. Rapid population growth and urbanization increase pressure on resources and infrastructure, while social inequities and economic disparities exacerbate these challenges. Unsustainable consumption and production, coupled with weak governance and policy, hinder sustainability efforts. Technological and infrastructural challenges and cultural and behavioral barriers impede progress. Addressing these issues requires a comprehensive approach that integrates environmental, social, and economic dimensions, fostering innovation, collaboration, and equitable practices. This edited volume addresses the pressing sustainability and environmental challenges our planet and society face today. It is intended to comprehensively explore how we can move beyond merely discussing these issues to finding and implementing informed solutions. It aims to inform the creation of a sustainable future for all of us, both locally and globally, by focusing on cross-sector engagement, human capacity building, co-design, networking, and innovation. The primary objective of the volume is to propose practical pathways to solutions and their implementation, highlighting the progress and innovations being developed worldwide. This book will explore how research and innovation are applied to understand, mitigate, and adapt to the significant environmental stresses we face. It will showcase the latest in sustainability science and foster new collaborations, expanding networks and connecting with new markets.

Pedagogical Equilibrium is an innovative reconceptualisation of teachers’ professional knowledge development. The book draws on interview data and in-depth analysis of situations, which challenge teachers’ sense of pedagogical equilibrium in both primary and secondary school contexts. These moments highlight the complexity of teaching and the valuable personal and professional learning opportunities afforded by experiencing and processing moments which create uncertainty during practice.Mansfield considers a variety of aspects of teaching practice, including content knowledge, organising for teaching, organising for learning, and student attitudes and behaviours. Drawing on detailed examples, a new framework is offered to scaffold teacher thinking around moments in practice which can challenge the sense of equilibrium in the classroom.Pedagogical Equilibrium is a highly valuable resource for educational researchers, teacher educators, current teachers and other educational stakeholders.

Children's early temperamental characteristics have a pervasive impact on the development of socioemotional functioning. Through socialization and social interaction processes, cultural beliefs and values play a role in shaping the meanings of socioemotional characteristics and in determining their developmental patterns and outcomes. This Element focuses on socialization and socioemotional development in Chinese children. The Element first briefly describes Chinese cultural background for child development, followed by a discussion of socialization cognitions and practices. Then, it discusses socioemotional characteristics in the early years of life, including temperamental reactivity and self-control, mainly in terms of their cultural meanings and developmental significance. Next, the Element reviews research on Chinese children's and adolescents' social behaviors, including prosocial behavior, aggression, and shyness. Given the massive social changes that have been occurring in China, their implications for socialization and socioemotional development are discussed in these sections. The Element concludes with suggestions for future research directions.

Programs like philosophy for children, reciprocal teaching, problem based learning and computerized games can help students’ critical and creative thinking skills, but which are most effective? This research-to-practice book showcases how you can improve the thinking (cognition) of your students, across the curriculum and beyond.Each chapter focuses on a particular program, describes the method and background research, offers examples and explains key processes in implementation. You'll learn about thinking programs within a subject, across the curriculum, outside the curriculum and those which can be either within or outside the curriculum, so you can choose a program which suits your context. You’ll also find out what to consider when evaluating a thinking skills program. And finally, you’ll discover shared features of the methods – such as peer interaction, discourse, argumentation, scaffolding and transfer – so you can see the commonalities of the programs and think about designing your own approaches.Whether you’re a classroom teacher, department head, or other key stakeholder, this powerful resource will help you determine what really works for teaching thinking, so your students can apply such skills and thrive long after they’ve left school.Note: This book is part of a set; a companion book focuses on programs for teaching metacognition, or thinking about thinking.

What they didn't tell you about how to increase engagement and decrease unsettled behaviour.Teachers have long been taught to use different strategies: one for behaviour; one for learning. Start with control to get their attention, then move on to the learning. This isn't working. It's time for a change.
Jen Foster brings a new approach. One that recognises that behaviour and learning cannot and should not be separated. One that harnesses the power of engagement to put children's focus on learning at the heart of every lesson.
Educator Jen Foster offers teachers a fundamental unwritten code for all lessons. Exploring the research behind what we know about children's learning, Jen outlines why Flow, Play, Drive, Connection and Movement are key elements for all lessons. Jen presents examples of effective classroom activities, inspiration for lesson planning and practical support for teaching.
Classroom Engagement: The Unwritten Code shows you how to bring the power of engagement to your lessons. Engaged children are more focused, more motivated, happier and more ready to learn.

If you work in the early years, you have probably heard of Montessori and Bronfenbrenner - but have you heard of Bavolek or Fisher? Contemporary theorists and theories of early childhood learning have much to teach us. It is often forgotten that this learning is still evolving and that new voices are joining the discussion every year. With new chapters on Maslow, Bowlby, Piaget and Vygotsky, this second edition introduces you to some contemporary theorists and explores their work alongside more well-known thinkers. It demonstrates how these theories relate to everyday practice in the early years and that discussion of them can support ongoing professional learning.

Primary teaching is challenging and rewarding in equal measure. Schools are diverse and ever-changing communities where children and teachers learn alongside each other. When learning to teach, practical experience in the classroom is essential, as is learning from others and being able to reflect on your own learning and performance. Equally important is the ability to critically evaluate learning and teaching and to look at current practice in schools and in the UK and to question it. In fact, in teacher training, the questions are just as important as the answers:What is teaching?How do children learn?What is pedagogy?Does curriculum really matter?Should teachers 'manage' behaviour?How do I support children with SEND?What can AI tools do for teachers?This core text from Learning Matters tackles these questions and more. It poses questions to encourage a re-thinking of the world of schools and learning. It challenges trainee teachers to ask why,to engage with research and to reflect on their own practice and the practice in their placement schools.Primary Teaching is a core text for trainee teachers.
