Studies in teaching 3 (early childhood)
2 hours per week * First semester * Peninsula
The subject, subdivided into two strands, pursues the theme `teaching skills and pupil learning' in the junior primary school. Strand `A' provides students with the opportunity to engage in initial primary teaching experiences in the junior level of the primary school and to acquire basic primary teaching competencies. Students will be encouraged to reflect on the teaching styles and organisational structures they have encountered. Strand `B' provides students with the opportunity to consider in detail the importance of developmentally appropriate programs in contrast with curriculum-oriented programs. In addition, students will examine appropriate guidance techniques for pupils in these grades.
