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 the value of planning and evaluating creative learning opportunities for babies and young children. This module applies the notion of education for sustainability whilst providing students with opportunities to apply a critical analysis of children as active participants and early childhood as a site for democracy, sustainability and social justice. The module builds on the core level 4 module, 4206ECS Pedagogical approaches (Part 1) - Sustainability; Democracy, Participation and Social Justice and offers a scaffold to support progression through to the level 6 option module, 6206ECS Global Dimensions; Sustainable futures across early years curricula.
