Course Content (Syllabus)
TThis course covers two key areas of learning and teaching in early childhood education.
First, the course studies the child as a learner who lives and grows in a specific sociocultural context. It examines how family, community and school background, affect children’s learning. Specifically, it analyzes children’s attributes and highlights their diversity: “funds of knowledge”, interests, thinking, ways of representation and communication they prefer and learning preferences.
The second part studies the main “contexts for learning” in kindergarten classes: play, routines, real-life or authentic situations, investigations, focused learning experiences. Their main characteristics are presented and ways of implementation are discussed for spontaneous learning and focused teaching
