Using Evidence for Advocacy and Resistance in Early Years Services : Exploring the Pen Green Research Approach


Description

Insightful and relevant, Using Evidence for Advocacy and Resistance in Early Years Services supports practitioners working in Early Years settings to develop the knowledge and skills required to carry out research into their own practice. Based on the renowned Pen Green approach, which advocates that co-constructed practitioner- and parent-led research leads to more effective practice and improved outcomes for all, contributors to this fascinating book explore a variety of research methodologies and techniques that have been used and developed over thirty years of provision at the Pen Green Centre for Children and Families. The Pen Green Centre are leaders in the area of participatory research, and for many readers this book will be a primer in this new and developing approach. This practical text, which uses highly inclusive research methods, shows how providing opportunities for workers, researchers, parents, practitioners and children to co-construct the research gives it an authenticity and validity which would otherwise be lacking. Using Evidence for Advocacy and Resistance in Early Years Services will be of use to practitioners working in early years settings, researchers in early childhood education and policy-makers at all levels of local and national government.

What on earth are you missing? In A Skeptic s Guide to Faith, previously titled Rumors of Another World, Philip Yancey writes: I am where you are . . . an ordinary person trying to figure things out. I love, I experience beauty and pain, my friends die, I weep, I live. And as I live I try to figure out if there is a God, and what difference would that make . . . This book comes out of my own search and is written on behalf of those who live outside of belief that borderlands region between belief and unbelief. How many times have you heard someone say, I m spiritual but not religious? Or perhaps you ve had that thought yourself. For some people, religious faith seems to come easily, but for others it comes in a swirl of doubts and questions. In A Skeptic s Guide to Faith, Philip Yancey confronts the questions head-on, from the stance of a skeptic. He asks, Is the visible world around us all there is? and then examines the apparent contradictions. If this is God s world, Diamond : A Struggle for Environmental Justice in Louisiana's Chemical Corridor download ebook why doesn t it look more like it? Finally, the book considers how two worlds the visible and invisible might affect our daily lives. Does faith really make a difference day to day? A Skeptic s Guide to Faith reads like a conversation, inviting those skeptical of religion and turned off by the church to consider the possibility of an unseen world coexisting with our visible world. According to Yancey, A thin membrane of belief separates the natural from the supernatural. What makes it so hard for some of us to cross that membrane? Look inside to find out."
