Identify concepts related to children's learning, development and growth through exploratory research, observations and through subsequent reflection discussion and debate.
2.
Summarise differing national, psychological, sociological, cultural and historical perspectives on early childhood and the interrelationships that may exist between them.

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), note that the study of early childhood draws on areas of knowledge that may be interdisciplinary, however, the knowledge domains are frequently presented as integrated areas of cross-disciplinary study, rather than as discrete subject areas. This level 4 module has been designed to support a developing awareness of the holism associated with the subject area.
