Sense Of Wonder

This chapter explores how children make sense of their world through the development and refinement of ‘working theories’. Working theories are a key item for young learners, and are emphasized in the New Zealand early childhood curriculum Te Whāriki. Children’s working theories develop in environments where they have opportunities to engage in complex thinking with others, observe, listen, participate, and discuss, within the context of topics and activities. It is through interactions and activities that children begin to own the ideas and beliefs of their culture and begin to make sense of their worlds. However, fostering this learning in early childhood settings is not always easy, and requires skilled adults who can respond appropriately. We explore and discuss the nature of children’s working theories and ways in which adult–child interactions can enhance or inhibit a sense of wonder and curiosity.

Iran’s public sphere has been segregated along gender lines since the Islamic Revolutionin 1979 and is regularly policed by the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance. Thisarticle considers the ways in which the resulting homosocial spaces appear in the worksof contemporary artists working in Tehran. Looking at video and photographic worksby three Iranian artists, I argue that contemporary art is hyper aware of being undersurveillance and addresses itself to multiple viewers. I bring queer viewing strategiesas a method of viewing these artworks in order to point to the continuum betweenhomosocial and homoerotic spaces that permeate contemporary Iranian art.
