AnonyMouse_11548 Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 I am beginning my long term research project for the Foundation degree in early years and I plan to research schemas. i'm not 100% sure of my research question yet as I am still in the background reading phase. If anyone has any info they would be happy to share about schemas i would be very greatful as I want to fill my brain with as much as possible! thanks in advance, jenny x
AnonyMouse_2186 Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 There is a great article which you can find here There are also quite a few topics on the forum, just search 'schemas' in the search forum posts area at the top right of the screen.
Guest Wolfie Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Someone on here posted a link to a whole book published on the net about schemas - it's called "Thinking Children - Learning about Schemas" by Anne Meade with Pam Cubey. I downloaded it at the time - when you do a forum search, see if anything comes up for their name?
Guest Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 The article is on this page. There are some other good links on this thread although they don't all exist anymore. http://www.foundation-stage.info/forums/in...0book&st=15
AnonyMouse_8466 Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Thanks, Hammered! Sometimes using this Forum is a little like time travelling! Have saved the book away for reading later Maz
AnonyMouse_7610 Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 There is a book that was published this month I think, called "Again, again! Understanding schemas in young children" published by Featherstone Education. Haven't got it myself, last time I looked on amazon it was temporarily out of stock but it might be worth a look!
Guest Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 I have just read a book called 'Threads of Thinking' by Cathy Nutbrown which was really interesting. Also there is an article on this site about scemas. If you google it you will find loads of information and articles
AnonyMouse_11548 Posted July 29, 2008 Author Posted July 29, 2008 thank yuo, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!! You are all superstars. I'll enjoy the extra reading!
Guest Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 Hi Jenni There are some interesting facts relating to the use of schema with children in the Forest Schools information from Bridgewater College. They really use the schema that they have observed children using and plan accordingly with amazing results. I was lucky enough to take part in some of this training and it blew my mind! Hope this helps as sometimes it is hard to think how the theory fits with reality Regards Teri
AnonyMouse_11548 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Posted August 2, 2008 thanks teri...i'd love to do forest school training...and I'm so excited that someone out there has managed to combine the two! I'll get reading x
