A practical guide to inquiry-based learning through Floorbooks

By
Claire Warden

Be introduced to the world of inquiry-based learning in early childhood with Planning with and for Children - Revised edition.

Written by Dr Claire Warden, the revised edition aligns with the EYLF V2.0 and uses Floorbooks as examples of inquiry-based learning. It incorporates the features and pedagogical thinking behind the use of Floorbooks. The adult role as it relates to Talking Tubs, 3D mind mapping and questioning is also explained. Notably, a specific example of good practice from the EYLF V2.0 is that strategies such as 'talking and thinking floorbooks' can capture children's voices and contributions and in that way involve them in documenting their learning.

Designed to encourage projects and problem-based learning, this book gives early childhood education providers a fresh look at planning and documentation. The aim is to bring joy back into planning through a child-centred approach.
