This subject will introduce students to the principles which underpin the early childhood curriculum. In particular it will explore the concept of the child-centred, developmental approach to curriculum planning, with its emphasis on learning processes rather than teaching strategies. The validity of this pervasive model of best practice will be evaluated in the light of developmental and social problems that confront many children. The subject will also highlight the unique focus of the early childhood curriculum in designing environments and devising legitimate forms of observational assessment, appropriate goals, content and educational strategies to meet the individual needs of young children. Students will be introduced to some key national and professional debates on educational issues which create dilemma for developmentally appropriate practice.

This subject is not available as a breadth subject.
