Germany and Scotland - Conversations on Playing and Learning in Transition to School
17-33 p.
In this paper, we present an informing background of theory and international research into the transition from preschool to school, before discussing the existing transition-to-school situation in Germany and Scotland. We are convinced that an understanding of the role of play is essential to inform developmentally and pedagogically appropriate practices for children in transition to school. Recognising attributes of play such as creativity and imagination means creating transition spaces in which children can exercise agency, feel good during the transition and move from familiar early childhood contexts to the newness of school. International professional conversations reï¬Âecting on these atributes in practice will complete this paper. Scolastica - Inklusion im Bildungsbereich\u0022, organizzato dal Centro di Competenza per l'Inclusione Scolastica della Libera Università di Bolzano, ha voluto sviluppare i temi delle connessioni e costruzioni di comunità attorno a quelli dell'educazione inclusiva, in un
dialogo plurilingue ed interculturale che intende mettere in relazione le riflessioni di lingua italiana e tedesca. I quattordici contributi presenti delineano, da prospettive diverse, riferimenti teorici, metodologie e strumenti per lo sviluppo di un'educazione inclusiva, con un'attenzione particolare alla dimensione didattica.
