Abstract

Informal learning spaces present ripe opportunities to supplement formal learning experiences. In this paper, we offer a new approach to creating enriching learning activities for public spaces that reflects evidence-based practices rooted in developmental psychology and uses community-centring practices from participatory research approaches. We first argue that extant theory and research supports the use of guided play pedagogy to foster learning. Second, we argue that effective translation of research to practice should incorporate community voices at every stage of the design, implementation and evaluation process. We describe a new initiative called Playful Learning Landscapes that reflects tenets of core developmental theory including constructivism and social learning theories as well as guided play pedagogy. Playful Learning Landscapes also extends the scope and scale of these evidence-backed theories by collaborating with communities to design activities for local community spaces. Taken together, we offer a way of upholding core developmental theory with equitable, culturally inclusive research and intervention practices. Transforming community spaces into hubs for children's learning promises wide-reaching implications for equitable access, school readiness and early childhood education.

以证据为基础,以社区为中心:为儿童创造非正式学习机会的新方法。
非正规学习空间为补充正规学习经验提供了成熟的机会。在本文中,我们提出了一种为公共空间创造丰富学习活动的新方法,它反映了植根于发展心理学的循证实践,并采用了参与式研究方法中以社区为中心的实践。首先,我们认为现有的理论和研究支持使用引导式游戏教学法来促进学习。其次,我们认为,将研究有效地转化为实践,应在设计、实施和评估过程的每个阶段纳入社区的声音。我们介绍了一项名为 "游戏学习景观 "的新倡议,它反映了核心发展理论的原则,包括建构主义和社会学习理论以及游戏引导教学法。通过与社区合作为当地社区空间设计活动,"游戏学习景观 "还扩展了这些证据支持理论的范围和规模。总之,我们提供了一种坚持核心发展理论与公平的、具有文化包容性的研究和干预实践相结合的方法。将社区空间转变为儿童学习的中心,有望对公平入学、入学准备和幼儿教育产生深远影响。
