Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject pre-service teachers will examine childhood in the contexts of a contemporary and changing world. Pre-service teachers engage with the history and, past and contemporary philosophies of early childhood education and care. They will examine the impact of past and current policies and practices, and will critically engage with current research and theoretical perspectives informing multiple understandings of children and childhoods. Through engagement with broad range of perspectives, pre-service teachers will be provided with the opportunity to challenge universal representations of child and childhood, to engage with concepts of the multiplicity of childhood and diversity of children's lived experiences, child agency and children as component and capable learners and members of a community. A range of contemporary issues and social contexts impacting on children's learning are examined in relation to diversity and inclusivity, including social, cultural, and religious background, gender, indigeneity, ethnicity, rurality, learning styles and needs.
