Child Development In Early Childhood Education

This course conceptualizes children's development from birth to 8 years through the critical review of and reflection on various developmental theories, models, approaches and scholarly works. It will benefit participants working with young children in an early childhood context.
The course is designed to study children's growth and development in an integrated way by utilizing a multidisciplinary framework and approach. It is believed that children should not be studied using a single perspective or through developmental stages alone. However, a holistic view of children should be built across disciplines, domains, contexts and cultures.

We recommend that students who wish to pursue an EC minor complete AED16A and AED16D first because these two courses can greatly support you with AED16B, AED16C and AED16E.
