Teaching the Primary Curriculum for Constructive Learning (Paperback)

Providing guidance in teaching across all subjects of the primary curriculum, this text draws on extensive research in constructivist ideas in children's learning which shows that effective learning occurs when teachers understand and build on children's previous views and experience in their teaching programmes. The authors provide both specialist subject knowledge and coherent cross-curiculum perspectives. The book is intended for BEd and PGCE students and lecturers but should also be of interest to established primary teachers.
