| Purpose: This module is integrated with the module, play in the early years and also builds on the knowledge gained in the modules, Foundation of early childhood education and Constructions of Childhood. The purpose of this module is to develop skills, competencies, expertise, dispositions amongst students so that they will be able to explore and interrogate principles, strategies and theories underpinning transformative pedagogy. Students will also explore relevant theoretical frameworks that can be applied to design and develop transformative pedagogical practices for the teaching and learning context for birth to 4 year age groups. The constructs of transformative pedagogy to be explored by students in this module range from play-based teaching and learning practices and strategies, participatory teaching and learning practices, relational, culturally responsive and inclusive pedagogical practices relevant to diverse African contexts. In addition, students will be required to plan for activities, transitions and routines that are transformative in nature. |
