Content
Students will undertake a journey of understanding, critically evaluating the ongoing development of Early Childhood and Early Years Education in international and Australian contexts. They will identify and analyse connections between historical and contemporary philosophical and theoretical perspectives and educational practice in early childhood and primary settings. Students will also develop comprehensive knowledge about the principles of practice embedded within legislative, regulatory practices and curriculum documents (e.g., Early Years Learning Framework, Victorian Curriculum). Students will be able to critique and discuss these in relation to contemporary contexts of teaching and learning, as part of the ongoing development of their own educational philosophy and capacity for reflective practice
