Description: Rethinking Children's Play, Paperback by Brown, Fraser; Patte, Michael, ISBN 144119469X, ISBN-13 9781441194695, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This book examines the role of play as a developmental necessity and a human right in children's lives. It gathers existing research and historical material into an overview analysis of the ongoing debate about play; the nature of children's play; the relevance of play in schools but also in other settings; the current conflict between standards-based education policies and play; the negative consequences of play deprivation; and the forward implications for children's lives, including an extended discussion of the 'playwork' philosophy. The text includes short interview sections with researchers--on the topic of their own research choices and methods--embedded in relevant chapters. Fraser Brown is professor of playwork at Leeds Metropolitan University, UK; and Michael Patte, professor of education at Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania, also co-edits the International Journal of Play. The New Childhoods series offers access to contemporary research on children and childhood which is arising due to both an increased public interest in child welfare, and an increased willingness to seek out and listen to children's authentic experiences.
