The use of ‘loose parts’ by early childhood teachers is explored through the lens of New Materialism and Post-humanism. Loose parts, that is, found, discarded and recyclable materials, offer teachers from under-resourced communities in Eastern Cape, South Africa, still burdened by the legacy of Apartheid, a different approach to teaching and learning. The work described stems from a project run by a non-profit organization, Africa A+ Schools, working with teachers to expand their pedagogical practices in challenging settings. Working with loose parts is an effective method of addressing issues of equity, inclusivity and diversity through practical and accessible pedagogical techniques.

摘要

The use of ‘loose parts’ by early childhood teachers is explored through the lens of New Materialism and Post-humanism. Loose parts, that is, found, discarded and recyclable materials, offer teachers from under-resourced communities in Eastern Cape, South Africa, still burdened by the legacy of Apartheid, a different approach to teaching and learning. The work described stems from a project run by a non-profit organization, Africa A+ Schools, working with teachers to expand their pedagogical practices in challenging settings. Working with loose parts is an effective method of addressing issues of equity, inclusivity and diversity through practical and accessible pedagogical techniques.
