This unit provides students with a conceptual foundation on which to build their understanding of children's complex and dynamic development from three to eight years of age. This unit focuses on children's physical, cognitive, emotional, social and moral developmental domains. The unit introduces students to classical and contemporary understandings of child development. Students will be encouraged to critically consider their pedagogical approaches by exploring perspectives on teaching and learning, and consider the important role which teachers, families, communities and culture plays in supporting children’s overall development.
