Description
There is wide use of informal, formal and mixed pedagogies within various disciplines and learning environments. The module will introduce students to early childhood education theories, policies, and practices of pedagogy within diverse sectors. It provides students with practice-based opportunities to learn from, visit, and observe, pedagogical action in formal, informal or mixed pedagogical spaces (e.g., school classrooms, nursery setting, libraries, museums, art galleries, hospitals, NGOs). Students will engage with a major thematic element from one of the core modules, Global Childhoods or Theoretical Perspectives on Children’s Learning and Development, observe this in the setting, and write a critical report synthesising the observations along with a survey of relevant academic literature. Students will informally present these findings to the setting in order to give them an outsider’s perspective of their institution.
