| Title: | Education and Children's Ways of Knowing |
| Author(s): | Spodek, Bernard |
| Subject(s): | Children’s libraries |
| Abstract: | I will begin with a disclaimer: I am not a librarian. I cannot provide authoritative information about library services to children, of either a descriptive or prescriptive nature. I am not a child development specialist. I cannot provide authoritative information about the nature of childhood. I cannot nor will I attempt to present the characteristics of the various stages that children achieve at particular age levels, which enable developmental planning of appropriate services for young children. My field is education; I am an early childhood educator. I am interested in the nature of schools for young children the purposes that these schools serve, the activities that take place in these schools (often in the name of achieving these purposes), and in the personnel that staff these schools: teachers and others. I am concerned with the interactions that take place among the individuals who are related to these schools children, teachers and parents and with what is transmitted and created as a result of those interactions. |
