Play and Inquiry in Early Childhood - ECH113
This unit examines the role of play and inquiry in children's learning and development. Students develop a theoretical understanding of the characteristics of young children’s play and inquiry and explore how environments, resources and teaching techniques can be structured to facilitate children's active and meaningful engagement in the learning process. Students also analyse the developmental and educational potential of children's play and inquiry across a range of development and curriculum areas, and reflect on how play and inquiry experiences can be used to cater for children with diverse educational and cultural learning styles.
