The module will locate, expand and apply theories of learning and development under the four strands of Aistear (Well-Being; Identity and Belonging; Communicating; Exploring and Thinking). It will provoke/challenge students to consider the implications for practice of developing relationships/friendships, gender identity, language as a tool of communication and interactions as means of connecting. Finally the module will explore current research on brain development and its relevance for learning in early childhood. Throughout the module, students will build on their own experiences, encouraging reflection upon the interplay between theory and practical reality.
