This text explores well known theories around how children learn, covering theories of children's development and learning, learning through play, creativity and learning as well as inclusive learning among others. It balances concise information about the theories and theorists themselves with critical thinking activities to encourage the reader to consider the validity of these theories, and develop their own views on the nature of children's learning. Practical examples and case studies help the reader to connect theory with practice.
