Prof Glenda Macnaughton| Subject Overview: |
This subject will draw on students' direct experience of working in early childhood services to develop an understanding of the role of reflective practice in their continuing development as an early childhood professional. Students will be expected to document and analyse their practice, based on frameworks introduced through the knowledge gained in academic subjects undertaken in their course. Their placement experiences will be informed by sound theoretical and philosophic understandings of an integrated curriculum, equity issues and professional ethics. Students are expected to critically reflect on their own practice in order to enhance their professional growth and develop leadership skills. This includes development of skills and knowledge about practicum supervision of students on placement. |
