Revisiting the Landscape of Play.

Veale, Ann

Early Child Development and Care, v171 p65-74 Dec 2001

Examines the traditional place of play in contemporary early childhood programs in light of new directions in theory and curriculum, the push for educational outcomes, and perceived pressures of the global market economy. Maintains that a new focus on teaching through play may provide a way to reconcile demand for outcomes with a concern for developmentally appropriate practice. (Author/KB)
