CYP5172 - Supporting Transitions: Early Learning, Early Independance

Objectives:

On successful completion of the module, students will be able to:

Explore and analyse issues related to transitions from family to child-care and school;
Outline theory related to self-identity and independence and how this relates to confidence in transitions.

Content:

This module explores early development theory related to attachment, early learning, self identity and self-regulation. Students are expected to relate theory to a child’s ability to cope with transitions through the first 8 years. The Common Core of Skills and Knowledge and professional ethics, values and beliefs will be expected to form part of the discussion. Students will be expected to identify common themes and arguments in theory and research and conflicting viewpoints, considering too how these may have arisen.

Learning and Teaching Information:

Learning will take place in interactive sessions incorporating theoretical input, discussion, debate, ICT research and student presentation. Students will be supported by VLE materials, constructed reading and research tasks and workshop sessions.
