Abstract/Notes: "Pedagogies of Kindness and Respect presents a wide variety of concepts from scholars and practitioners who discuss pedagogies of kindness, an alternative to the "no excuses" ideology now dominating the way that children are raised and educated in the U.S. today. The fields of education, and especially early childhood education, include some histories and perspectives that treat those who are younger with kindness and respect. This book demonstrates an informed awareness of this history and the ways that old and new ideas can counter current conditions that are harmful to both those who are younger and those who are older, while avoiding the reconstitution of the romantic, innocent child who needs to be saved by more advanced adults. Two interpretations of the upbringing of children are investigated and challenged, one suggesting that the poor do not know how to raise their children and thus need help, while the other looks at those who are privileged and therefore know how to nurture their young. These opposing views have been discussed and problematized for more than thirty years. Pedagogies of Kindness and Respect investigates the issue of why this circumstance has continued and even worsened today."--Note de l'éditeur.

Abstract/Notes: The attitudes of students in ungraded primary and fourth grade classes toward educational-reform changes implemented in their classrooms were studied in Kentucky, using a sample of 53 students from the primary grades and 47 students from the fourth grade. Multi-age, multi-ability grouping, as experienced by these primary students, is a feature of changes under the Kentucky Educational Reform Act. These students were in a transitional phase, being involved in such groups for part of each day. Questionnaires requiring Likert-type responses were administered to these students. Responses suggest that students are accepting changes and seem to be adapting to teaching using the thematic approach, which emphasizes cooperative learning. Students in grade 4 preferred working by themselves more than the primary-grades group, though both groups accepted cooperative learning. Teachers are moving to more hands-on activities and are becoming more creative in the use of low-budget materials for
