Early Childhood Development Research and Practice - ECED605
This unit is designed to extend students' understanding of child development with a particular emphasis on approaches to understanding and measuring child development, considerations for quality in childcare and evaluation of children's environments. Recent research studies of child development especially in relation to prior-to-school settings will be used as a major resource for examining contemporary theory and research in child development. Students will analyse research to develop their skills in using evidence based approaches in teaching, to inform policy, and evaluate programs within prior-to-school settings.
