The pedagogy of listening

This book describes the work involved in developing educational practices in a preschool. Using examples from her own everyday life, Ann Åberg shares the group's experiences of change work from the practitioner's perspective. Concrete examples describe how educational documentation opens up new understandings of children and their path to knowledge. Hillevi Lenz Taguchi, then a lecturer and now a professor at Stockholm University, also contributes a theoretical perspective on the issues. In this richly illustrated book, descriptions of everyday work are woven together with theoretical thinking.
This second edition of the book contains a completely new section on how the pedagogy of listening can take shape with younger children. In two chapters, Ann Åberg provides some insights into a project in a younger children's department. The story describes how educators make themselves responsive to children's own priorities and their way of understanding the world.
