Böcker av Karen Gallas

The author explores young children's experience and understanding of gender, race and power as revealed by the interactions within her first and second grade classroom. She presents research from a four-year period, focusing on how specific children collectively develop their social world.

This text provides insights into how elementary students think and talk about science. It provides a window into the children's thinking about the world, enabling the reader to see how students build complex theories, identify important questions and begin to enter the world of science.

This work offers a new approach to understanding how young children in early and elementary grades communicate their knowledge of the world and the ways in which that kind of understanding can transform the educative process.
