EDMAS6050 Understanding Early Childhood Development
This unit will enable Pre-service Teachers (PSTs) to engage with the core principles and theories of child development. PSTs will come to understand and critique the interconnections between theory, curricula outcomes and learning contexts for young children. Environmental conditions that impact on the development of individual children, with particular emphasis on social and cultural backgrounds will be examined. PSTs will develop the capacity to apply child development theory, knowledge of individual children and curricula outcomes to the selection of learning experiences that engage and support the interests, strengths and dispositions of young children.
