EDMAS6057 Steam ahead with young children
This unit is designed to allow PSTs to explore the concepts of science and environmental awareness, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (STEAM) appropriate for young children in an early childhood environment. Using their knowledge of child development, content and curricula requirements PSTs will plan and implement appropriate STEAM activities for young children in prior-to-school settings. PSTs will examine appropriate contemporary teaching strategies and curricula approaches, including play-based and inclusive strategies and alternative curricula approaches. PSTs will explore the importance and impact of culture, diversity and inclusion in the planning and programming of STEAM and environmental education experiences. PSTs will begin to use advocacy and research to improve the teaching of STEAM and environmental education in educational settings.
