Early Years

Come back in two years!

Cover of 'Come back in two years!'

'Come back in two years!' is the second publication from the University of Stirling in conjunction with Learning and Teaching Scotland and follows on from the literature review 'ICT in Pre-school: A 'Benign Addition'?'.

One important issue which emerged from the literature review is the need to move away from the fixed idea that information and communications technology predominantly means computers to embrace a much broader definition.

'Come Back in Two Years!' addresses the lack of practice-based evidence, highlighted in 'ICT in Pre-school: A 'Benign Addition'?', by observing playroom resources and activities, and gathers the perspectives of staff and children in seven early years settings within Scotland.

Price: £5.00, Code: POOJFP, Published: 2003, ISBN: 1 85955 779 1
