ECH113: Curriculum Play in Early Childhood: Theory and Practice |
This unit is an introduction to the nature of play and its role in children's learning and development. Students will examine a range of historical and contemporary theories of play and apply these to the play of young children in a culturally diverse society. Observations, practical tutorials and recent research on play will be used to demonstrate how children use play to represent their experiences, construct knowledge about, and make sense of, their world.
