It's All Very Well in Practice, but What about in Theory.
Bruce, Tina.
Early Child Development and Care, v19 n3 p151-72 1985
Discusses the nursery tradition, which is being threatened currently by the increasing tendency to place four-year-olds in infant school settings. Stresses that theory can be the lifeline of good practice, if linked with day-to-day work. Briefly discusses the theories of Vygotsky, Piaget, and Bruner, and the implications for the nursery school tradition. (AS)
