[edit] How effective is Reggio Emilia in meeting the needs of children?
hi, i am currently doing an individual research proposal on the Reggio approach, on how effective their methods are in meeting the needs of the children. i have been searching the net for weeks looking for articles. do you know of any sites that may contain them or any other way of getting some? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.34.9.250 (talk) 19 February 2005
- Try the website of Dr. Syliva Chard and her Project Approach articles etc. Simply look up "Project Approach in Early Childhood" or the home page of Dr. Chard. Reggio and project work are similar in design and will Dr. Chard's work will clearly explain how classroom project work meets the intellectual needs of young children. Also, refer to the book "Engaging Children's Minds" by Katz and Chard which explains the theory of project work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.148.205.43 (talk) 8 January 2006
[edit] why do you think the Reggio approach is not international?
-the difficulty is that you cannot "do Reggio". it is a town in Italy :). Though many of the ideas and concepts used in Reggio Emilia can be adapted for use outside of Italy, it exists as it does due to the very nature of the culture it is embedded in...we can't copy the culture without changing our towns, neighborhoods, politics, parents, way of life...we can (and do, internationally) take what we see as the best parts that can be adapted and explore ways to introduce them in our own classrooms.... --71.104.42.35 05:18, 24 January 2006 (UTC) (-written by a public kindergarten teacher who no longer has any power to teach this way due to the political landscape associated with education)
[edit] Comments
It would be nice if this article actually DESCRIBED the "R-E approach" in the top section, as is, well, sort of the NORM for Wikipedia entries. (Yes, I'm being snide - sorry - this article is insufferably pedantic and obtuse.)—Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.188.151.190 (talk) 16 July 2006
I found this article very tedious and vague, as well as obsessed with the contrast between American pedagogy and Reggio Emilia, as though the author had an axe to grind. It should be drastically improved and flagged as such, I think.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.7.60.204 (talk) 18 October 2006
I appreciate this article very much, but I'm not sure that it has an neutral point of view (NPOV). Also, I'm not sure that the statements are refer to original sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peterham (talk • contribs) 9 January 2007
This approach is used successfully at our local kindergarten, wellington, New Zealand. I have found this article, although incomplete, an informative start to the approach. I encourage others to stop critizing the material, but jump in and start editing. —Fred114 21:50, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
