Summary
Details

Children's inquiry is a pedagogical approach that positions young learners as active investigators who co-construct understandings through sustained exploration with materials, peers, kaiako, whānau, and local communities. It nurtures creativity and critical thinking while inviting children to engage deeply with people, places, and ideas.

Grounded in a two-phase research project, this book examines how early childhood communities in Aotearoa New Zealand have developed their own localised approaches to children's inquiry. Across the study, kaiako wove together international influences with local theories, values, and Te Whāriki, creating approaches that respond to the needs, values, and aspirations of their unique communities. Shared conditions included time, professional dialogue, and pedagogical documentation, alongside deep listening and a willingness to embrace uncertainty.
