2009 Course Handbook
ABEP230: The Early Childhood Environment in ATSI Contexts
Students will draw on their knowledge of child development, their skills in observing children and their understanding of interaction processes. Students will consider factors that influence children within different social and physical environments with a particular emphasis on the factors that influence young ATSI children and their communities. Strategies that enable children to develop competence in their relationships in group settings will be introduced.
In addition, students will identify techniques to assist children to undertake transitions within and between group settings. The field experience component of this unit will be with children in an early childhood service. It includes a series of observation days and a fifteen-day teaching block. It will enable students to develop skills in guiding the behaviour of children.
