Additional Information:
The acquisition of knowledge of early childhood studies is progressive, and therefore study of the core areas continues and deepens throughout the honours degree. The revised benchmark statements for Early Childhood Studies (QAA, 2022) acknowledge the importance related to knowledge and understanding of children as active participants, their rights and an anti- bias approach which considers early childhood as a site for democracy, sustainability and social justice. This module builds on the knowledge acquired in semester one (4203ECS) and introduces the area of Education for sustainability.
