Kultursensitive Frühpädagogik
Jörn Borke, Dorothee Gutknecht, Manfred Holodynski, Heidi Keller, Hermann Schöler
Cultural diversity is no longer the exception in kindergartens today, but rather a lived and experienced reality. In today=s day-care centres, parents and children from very different cultural backgrounds come together, and it is not always easy to summon the necessary sensitivity, tolerance, and also respect for different values and standards, different gender roles, and different family and generational relationships. This volume develops educational approaches that are able to do justice to the diversity of today=s day-care centres. The basis for this is provided by comparative developmental psychology, which takes a scientific look at different cultural models of development, different upbringing strategies and differences in children=s social-emotional development, cognitive development, and self-development.
