What You'll Learn

There was a period of time when policy makers and researchers experimented with curricular approaches and models in search of a “best” approach to educating young children. The notion of a single best approach has since been challenged. ECE366 presents a timeline of existing and well-known models and approaches that were initiated in the late 19th century and/or the 20th century. Some of these approaches are often branded as exemplary models for young children in Singapore. This course invites students to critically evaluate the strengths and limitations of each approach/model in accordance with current understandings of child learning and development within particular sociocultural contexts.
