| Purpose: This module draws on the various principles and theories influencing child development and learning in the module, Foundations of Early Childhood Education and also broadens students' knowledge and skills from the module, Pedagogy in the Early years. The purpose of this module is to develop skills, competencies, expertise, values and attitudes amongst students so that they will be able to explore and interrogate principles, strategies and theories underpinning play in the early years. Students will also explore relevant definitions, principles and theories of play relevant to babies, toddler and young children. The constructs of play which are relevant to diverse African contexts are explored by students in this module. In addition, students will be encouraged to mediate a play-based approach for teaching and learning in the early years. |
