SUPPORTING YOUNG CHILDREN’S LEARNING AT HOME AND IN SCHOOL
Module Synopsis
單元概要
In this course, students study how young children learn at home and in school through different mechanisms. Students examine how the physical environments afford opportunities for and place constraints on child learning and development, how parents and teachers act as models, interaction partners, opportunity providers, and direct instructors, and how children comprehend and actively construct their own socialization experiences. Students also inspect the relevance of home-school collaboration, paying particular attention to the benefits of bringing together parents and teachers, challenges of promoting home-school collaboration, and methods of engaging families. Finally, students discuss practical ways to support child learning, and consider the implications of the larger embedding context, such as family socioeconomic status and cultural values and practices.
