Digital Personalization in Early Childhood
This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. Digital personalization is an emerging interdisciplinary research field, with application to a variety of areas including design, education and publication industry. This book focuses on children’s education and literacy resources, which have undergone important changes with the ‘personalization revolution’ in the early 21st century. The author develops original insights from educational research and her own studies concerned with digital and non-digital personalization, to discuss in a clear and critical way the thinking, research issues and practical implications of this new field. She scrutinises the character of technology-based personalized education to substantiate the claim that the current models of personalized education tend to be technology- and business-driven, with little pedagogical understanding of the social value of personalization. Research involving touchscreens, personalized books and 2-8-year olds is interrogated for its impact on children’s development of language, creativity, identity, as well as family dynamics and classroom dialogue. The literature available on digital and non-digital personalization is discussed in relation to five key themes of personalized education, the so-called 5As: autonomy, authorship, aesthetics, attachment and authenticity. It is argued that the 5As need to be anchored in humanist principles for a sustainable pedagogy and practice. Based on the insights from research with typically and atypically developing children, Kucirkova proposes personalised pluralisation, as a pedagogical framework of personalized education for the future. The book aims to help scholars and professionals understand the connections between personalization and literacy, personalization and education, and personalization and wider socio-moral issues.

Crayons and iPads : learning and teaching of young children in the digital world
A timely addition to the SAGE Swift Series, Crayons and iPads examines the use of digital technology in the early stages of child development and the way in which learning techniques have evolved in classrooms across the world. Taking the position that tablets provide an accessible learning and instructional tool, Debra Harwood explores how tablets can be used to provoke, ignite, and excite children's interest in the world around them, arguing that it is through this engagement with technology that new discoveries are made and learning takes place. Guiding readers through research-based insights into children's thinking, interactions and being, Crayons and iPads offers an important starting point upon which to build play and inquiry-based learning opportunities within early learning program. -- Provided by publisher.

Coding as a Playground
Coding as a Playground, Second Edition focuses on how young children (aged 7 and under) can engage in computational thinking and be taught to become computer programmers, a process that can increase both their cognitive and social-emotional skills. Learn how coding can engage children as producers-and not merely consumers-of technology in a playful way. You will come away from this groundbreaking work with an understanding of how coding promotes developmentally appropriate experiences such as problem-solving, imagination, cognitive challenges, social interactions, motor skills development, emotional exploration, and making different choices. Featuring all-new case studies, vignettes, and projects, as well as an expanded focus on teaching coding as a new literacy, this second edition helps you to learn how to integrate coding into different curricular areas to promote literacy, math, science, engineering, and the arts through a project-based approach and a positive attitude to learning.

Outstanding Early Childhood Practice in ICT
This is the only early years guide available to combine ICT pedagogy and practice; perfect for starting children off to computing technology; and a user-friendly and completely accessible text. This book will show practitioners how they can cover the foundation stage curriculum for ICT and prepare the children for the new computing curriculum for KS1. It will provide pedagogical clarity and show schools and pre-schools what it is that they need to be doing to demonstrate outstanding practice. Computational thinking will also be extended beyond the use of computers, and its relevance to supporting the child's wider cognitive development and learning will be emphasised.

Enhancing digital literacy and creativity : makerspaces in the early years
\"One of the most exciting recent interventions that foster children's digital literacy and creative skills has been the advent of 'makerspaces'. This book shares insights from a project examining how young children develop creative skills and digital literacy through 'making.' Using case studies from environments like schools and museums, contributors show how children use hands-on experimentation as they make all kinds of texts and artefacts, using both traditional materials and new ones such as 3D printers. Editors argue that 'making', with its emphasis on play, experimentation and storytelling is uniquely positioned to explore the competencies of young children\"-- Provided by publisher.

The Materiality of Learning
The field of educational research lacks a methodology for the study of learning that does not begin with humans, their aims, and their interests. The Materiality of Learning seeks to overcome this human-centered mentality by developing a novel spatial approach to the materiality of learning. Drawing on science and technology studies (STS), Estrid Sørensen compares an Internet-based 3D virtual environment project in a fourth-grade class with the class's work with traditional learning materials, including blackboards, textbooks, notebooks, pencils, and rulers. Taking into account pupils' and teachers' physical bodies, Professor Sørensen analyzes the multiple forms of technology, knowledge, and presence that are enacted with the materials. Featuring detailed ethnographic descriptions and useful end-of-chapter summaries, this book is an important reference for professionals and graduate or postgraduate students interested in a variety of fields, including educational studies, educational psychology, social anthropology, and STS.

戶外教育學校本位課程發展與實施之研究—以中部某國小為例
戶外教育對學生身心發展具正面積極效能，教育部將戶外教育列入十二年國教新課綱重大議題，並以戶外教育修訂校外教學法規，要求學校每學期至少實施一次，此重大舉措，使戶外教育發展方式多元。除單獨實施外，可整合各項重大議題，或結合部訂課程，成為跨領域課程的利器，或發展成為形塑符合學生需要與學校特色的學校本位課程，強化學生自主學習，形塑核心素養。學校本位課程更是新課綱是否落實的關鍵。因此，本研究採自然典範，探討以戶外教育為學校本位課程多年，極具課程特色的個案學校，其於十二年國教新課綱頒布前，戶外教育學校本位課程發展歷程為何？十二年國教新課綱施行後，其實施戶外教育學校本位課程的現況為何？並探究影響個案學校持續推動戶外教育學校本位課程的關鍵因素為何？並就其豐富的經驗，本研究結果如下： 一、十二年國教新課綱頒布前，個案戶外教育學校本位課程發展歷：（一）課程型態變革歷程：從初期單一班級活動，到中期全校性班級活動，至後期由教務主任領導下，轉向學校本位課程的永續規劃與發展。課程型態發展歷程中，除家長協助與校長支持外，教務主任角色更是舉足輕重，教務主任才是將戶外活動轉化為課程的重要推手，其在課程領導中承上啟下，推動課程發展、整合資源、溝通協調、促使行政支持教學系統，並激勵組織的學習動能。（二）面臨的挑戰，分成六大因素：外部環境因素：主要是家長干預影響課程；資源因素：教材不足、補助不確定；學校因素：人事異動與學生差異；課程與教學因素：課程認知落差，課程化難度高；教師因素：專業與體能差異，產生壓力；安全管理因素：天候與高山症難預測。（三）因應策略：外部環境因素：事前溝通訂出界線；資源因素：以外部資源增能教師，就地取材訓練學生；學校因素：教師共備共學、學生個別訓練；課程與教學因素：支持性環境，以課程核心具體規劃；教師因素：經驗共享相互提攜；安全管理因素：備案、備藥與家長協助。 二、十二年國教新課綱施行後的現狀：（一）課程實施方式：在既有基礎上積極迎接變革；提前全面實施滾動修正；固定排課；連結部定課程進行跨領域整合；注重縱向銜接連貫；固定場域以深化課程；以共同核心素養貫穿課程。（二）面臨的挑戰，分六因素：外部環境因素：家長參與程度差距大；資源因素：人力物力資源不足；學校因素：面臨適性教學設計與教師任職穩定度問題；課程與教學因素：新課綱課程轉化的挑戰；教師因素：教師條件不同，壓力與負擔龐大；安全管理因素 ：應變能力考驗大。（三）因應策略：資源因素：沿
