- Summary:
-
A project is an extended, in-depth investigation of a topic, ideally one worthy of children's attention and energy. This catalog, prepared for an annual meeting of the National Association for the Education of Young Children, combines articles explaining the project approach in the classroom with summaries of projects displayed at the meeting. It also contains several ERIC/EECE digests relevant to the project approach. The introductory articles cover such topics as the importance of projects, the project approach in action, documenting projects, frequently asked questions about project work, incorporating the project approach into a traditional curriculum, and results of a brainstorming session among teachers beginning project work. Projects presented at the annual meeting include those on water, rocks, houses, building construction, newspaper, and bicycles. The ERIC digests included in the catalog discuss integrating computers in the early childhood classroom, the benefits of mixed-age grouping, encouraging creativity, the contribution of documentation to the quality of early childhood education, problem solving, Reggio Emilia, and resource rooms for children. Information on a projects web site, project approach institutes, other ERIC texts on the project approach, and how to use the ERIC system is also included. (EV)
