| Purpose: The module intends to develop the qualifying students' knowledge regarding the understanding of the nature, importance and role of physical activities, music and creative activities in the life of the child. The relationship between the neurological development of the child and movement as well as the impact thereof on the child's learning readiness is emphasised in order to address motor development requirements by determining gross motor efficiency and perceptual motor ability, designing appropriate movement activities and lessons, making suitable equipment, presenting and evaluating the child's gross motor skills in early childhood development.
This module further provides a fundamental understanding into musical development through experiences in singing, playing instruments, doing rhythmic movement and listening activities with children in this developmental phase.
The module also addresses knowledge of the two parallel and complementary streams of creative arts. It explores and develops creative ideas based on personal experiences using the sensory system as observational tool |
