Description

This course is designed to give pre-service teachers the opportunity to improve their professional practice by examining emerging issues related to teaching. The course aims to develop a rigorous approach to the theory/praxis nexus in relation to teaching.

Learning Outcomes

By the conclusion of the course, students will be able to:
1. Critically reflect on and discuss a range of professional competencies and attributes relating to teaching in bicultural/multicultural early childhood settings using Te Tiriti o Waitangi/The Treaty of Waitangi in education as a reference point.
2. Ideologically clarify how discourses continue to shape ‘young children’ and the ECE sector with a view to examining childhoods in post-colonial Aotearoa.
3. Identify and analyse professional roles and responsibilities that are part of being a beginning teacher.
