Minor content
The Elective supports students in building up a secure theoretical and practical understanding of the different experiences of childhood that young children have had throughout history; and continue to have throughout the world today. Based on an understanding of the cultural and social situatedness of childhood, the Elective explores the concept of play from an international perspective, how young children learn best, and how this learning can be supported by the collaboration between ECE professionals, parents and guardians, and the children themselves. Students will join a variety of sessions of varying formats, including practical ateliers, design-based tasks, and inquiry-based explorations as well as (guest) lectures and field trips.
This minor is offered by the study program Primary Education.
