ECE 330
Course Description
Focus will be on the identification, design and delivery of developmentally age appropriate experiential learning experiences that encourages active math, science and technology inquiry in young children. Exploration and inquiry related to the young child's emerging notions of mathematical and scientific processes will be the basis for developing and designing age appropriate activities that present children with opportunities to construct knowledge using age appropriate technology as a strategy in this process. Students will have an opportunity to assess young children's existing ideas relative to mathematical and scientific processes, then develop and deliver learning activities based upon this knowledge. Identification of ways to integrate subject matter across disciplines as well as opportunities to include the family and community in the learning process will be highlighted.
