Learning How To Learn: Parental Ethnotheories and Young Children's Preparation for School.
Brooker, Liz
International Journal of Early Years Education, v11 n2 p117-28 Jun 2003
An ethnographic study explored cultural belief systems of four-year-olds' families and school staff from Anglo and Bangladeshi families in England. Case study of one child/family illustrates how parental beliefs about childhood, the home, uses and purposes of literacy, and children's learning influence children's school experience. How data were used to develop a theoretical explanation to interpret children's adaptation to school and to reflect implications for pedagogy is also illustrated. (KB)
