What is Playing For Keeps: Supporting Young Children's Play (topics In Early Childhood Education, V. 2) about?

Changes in our world have made it more difficult for children to find protected, exciting places to play and interesting, satisfactory things to play with. This edited volume, resulting from the collaboration of Bank Street College (New York, New York), Erikson Institute (Chicago, Illinois), Pacific Oaks College (Pasadena, California), and Wheelock College (Boston, Massachusetts), focuses on children's play and how their play and learning may be supported in early childhood settings. Section 1 examines play education research and suggests methods for training professionals to facilitate play. Chapters are: (1) "Play in Early Childhood Development and Education: Issues and Questions" (Joan B. McLane and Others); (2) "The Value of Play as Perceived by Wheelock College Freshmen" (Edgar Klugman); (3) "The Meaning of Play: Perspectives from Pacific Oaks College," (Mary Beth Lakin); (4) "Reflections on Play: Learning from Student Teacher Placements," (Richard Feldman); and (5) "Constructing Knowledge about Play: Case Method and Teacher Education," (Amelia Klein). Section 2 describes cultural experiences to understand how play is regarded and supported from within various cultures. Chapt
