The book Slow Pedagogy: An Approach to Unforced Learning in Early Childhood focuses on the importance of the time provided in early childhood, advocating the value of slow pedagogical practices and unforced learning. Alison Clark refers to alternative practices in early childhood education, care, and upbringing that allow for a different pace and rhythm within the educational process.
The book is divided into three parts. The first examines the pressures in early childhood education, care, and upbringing for acceleration and for children to be "ready" for the next stage. Then, the book explores different relationships with time and the clock for young children and educators. The second part investigates some of the forms that unforced practices can take, including outdoor activities, the atelier, daily routines, stories, pedagogical documentation, and "slow" research. The third part presents what would be a proper approach to time in early childhood education, care, and upbringing, while discussing the challenges and possibilities encountered in early childhood centers.
The book acts as a catalyst for an urgent discussion regarding the need to slow down educational practice and teacher education, so that educators function less as hurried adults, providing more motivation and opportunities for children to (self-)act away from time pressure. At the same time, it explores case studies where slow pedagogical practices in early childhood education are already applied. It can serve as essential reading for students, researchers, educators, and educational policy makers, offering a meaningful understanding of the relationship with time in early childhood and the importance of slow pedagogy and unforced learning.
