play based education verses teaching for NAPLAN

Post by Believe » Tue Mar 07, 2017 5:48 pm

The essay topic I have is:-

Learning through play is an outdated concept. Formal learning of the content of The Australian National Curriculum (ACARA) and preparing students for the NAPLAN are the major priorities for educators and children in the early years. Discuss.

I am wondering if anyone can suggest some good readings or thoughts for this topic to get me started

Thanks Nicole
