Foundation Studies in Early Childhood Education - ECH120
This unit offers students an introduction to studying early childhood education. It provides a foundational overview of the social, historical and theoretical influences that shape early childhood provisions in Australia today and provides students with an understanding of the different educational settings where early childhood teachers are employed. Students will explore a range of early childhood settings through on-site professional experience (of 1 week duration) spanning the age range of 2-5 years. This will enable students to begin to understand the roles and responsibilities of teachers and the broader context of the profession.
