What is EDEC2000 about?

This unit is designed to investigate the knowledge, skills and understandings young children need as they connect with their world and continue to grow as active and contributing citizens. An inquiry approach underpins the development of an integrated teaching plan and collaborative inquiry from the Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS) learning areas and includes Aboriginal culture, knowledge and understandings. The unit examines pedagogical approaches, theoretical perspectives and research which assist students to plan and implement teaching and learning programs to support children (birth – 8 years) as they build their sense of belonging and citizenship in the family and community. Students will critically reflect on the meaning of the educator as global citizen and explore how children's culture, heritage, and traditions can be valued within a variety of learning contexts.
