TCHR2003: Curriculum Studies in Early Childhood EducationAssessment Task 2: Portfolio
Due: Monday 17th April 2023 (Week 7) @11.59pm (Term 1)
Length: 2000 words
Weighting: 50%
Referencing: APA 7th
Submission: Via the Turnitin link on the Assessment and Submission section on the unit site.
There are four photos of environments in early childhood settings provided in the Assessment 2 folder.
Choose two of the photos and respond to the following for each (1000 words for each photo):
Explain how each of the environments in the 2 selected photos can be used to promote children's learning and development. Use theoretical and unit reference sources to support your explanation.
Analyse the knowledge and understandings children can learn within each environment across two key learning areas [e.g., Physical Health & Well Being, Science, Maths, English (Literacy & Language), Creative Arts, Technologies, History] (Australian Curriculum - Foundation) with relevant links to the EYLF Learning Outcomes and NQS QA.
Explain and justify the pedagogical approach/es and roles the early childhood educator could take in each of the learning environments to promote childrens learning and development.
Use a minimum of 8 references to scholarly sources that substantially support your discussion, including reference to unit content, research literature, Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) (DET, 2022), National Quality Standards QA (ACECQA, 2018), and the Australian Curriculum (ACARA, 2022).
Rationale
The purpose of this assignment is to develop deeper knowledge and understanding of how everyday objects, routines, and resources in the early childhood setting can be used to promote childrens learning and development across the key learning areas (Australian Curriculum- Foundation) with links to the EYLF and learning outcomes and NQS QA. It is also important that early childhood educators have a deep understanding of the role of childrens play in these learning environments to best promote childrens conceptual knowledge in key learning areas appropriate to the birth to five years.
