This course aims to extend students’ experiences and opportunities for learning in semester one with further opportunities to develop a broad and integrated knowledge of a range of theories relevant to early child development and continue to explore approaches to education and care of young children. Students will also engage critically with the many factors that affect children’s learning and development looking beyond the physical environment and socio-cultural context to formal and informal services available to children and families, ASN and ACE.

Study on this course will support a further four-week block placement in Developing Professional Practice 1 in the same setting as first semester. Students will continue to build on previous study of development and learning, specifically developmental psychology (attachment theory) and how their knowledge and understanding of this theory might impact on and inform classroom practice. Students will also develop a more detailed knowledge of how to assess young children’s learning, developing skills in use of observation techniques to assess learning and inform planning. Students will consolidate their knowledge and understanding of enquiry skills for a target child study.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
