Module presented in English Module presented online
Purpose: The purpose of the module is to enable qualifying students to develop an entry level working theory of ECCE practice through observation of ECCE context and practice. Students will perform observations bearing in mind ECCE principles, theories, concepts and ethical protocols. Content that they have acquired in theoretical modules will be used to guide observation through the completion of tasks directed at learning from practice (e.g. real-time observation) and learning in practice (e.g. workplace-based experiences.) Qualifying students are to be placed in centers that will enhance effective observation of babies, toddlers and young children. The will also work cooperatively with the management team, mentor teacher, learners' parents and/or peers where possible. Qualifying students will be exposed to the broader context and participate in extra-curricular activities if required. They will be expected to gather information from different sources (online, print) to support learning.
