unit code Unit Code: EDU30004

About this unit

In this unit, students learn about pedagogical practices, particularly ways of interacting and communicating with young children which support them to develop reciprocal and respectful relationships with adults and other children. Students explore theories about children’s behaviour and the factors that influence it, as well as ways to encourage children’s engagement in learning. Students explore and reflect on their beliefs and assumptions about guiding children’s behaviour and the effects these have on teachers’ roles and interactions with children.
