Analysis of examples of children learning

1. Select and provide one documented example of children’s learning for each of the age ranges of infants; toddlers; and young children.

Also select and provide one documented example of children’s learning for any one of the age ranges of infants; toddlers; and young children.

(A total of four examples.)

(100 – 150 words per example)

For the set of four examples you choose, ensure that:

 At least one example is a learning story or observation documented by yourself using information and communication technology. Up to two examples may be from published sources.

All sources must be acknowledged using accurate APA referencing formats.

 Each of your examples includes one of the learning areas of mathematics, science, technology, and information communication technology

All four of these areas must be represented in your overall set of examples

 There is at least one example of learning in the indoor environment, and at least one example of learning in the outdoor environment

 An explanation and documentation of consent to use the learning story/stories or observation example(s) must be provided.

2. Analyse the examples of learning you have described, by identifying and explaining:

 Opportunities for education for sustainability practices that were provided, or that could have been provided

 Pedagogical approaches and teaching strategies used, including bicultural perspectives and responding to diversity

 Theoretical perspectives underpinning the child’s/children’s learning

 Subject content knowledge, including what the children and teachers each brought to the example as described

(2000-2200 words)
Note:
*Analyse each example by identifying and explaining pedagogical approaches, that occurred in each example.

*Also, analyse each example by identifying and explaining pedagogical approaches which include bicultural perspectives, that occurred in each example.
*Also, analyse each example by identifying and explaining pedagogical approaches which include responding to diversity, that occurred in each example.
If no pedagogical approaches involving responding to diversity were present then suggest one or two that could have been provided.

Four examples of children’s learning are provided: one each for infants, toddlers, and young children; and one further example for any one of infants, toddlers, and young children; including learning in both indoor and outdoor environments.
At least one example is a learning story assessment or observation documented by the student using ICT.
