Opening the door on teaching and learning for infants in ECE

Opening the door on teaching and learning for infants in ECE: Intuited pedagogy or intentional practice
Professor E. Jayne White, School of Teacher Education, Faculty of Education, University of Canterbury

Wednesday 10 April, 7-8:30pm

Despite the fact that infants have been part of the NZ ECE curriculum for well over twenty years, the pedagogies that orient their learning are not easily asserted. There are several reasons for this – not least the lodging of infant pedagogies within wider agendas for older learners that emphasise intentionality. In this session Jayne will draw from her recent research to explore a series of alternative dialogic approaches to infant pedagogies and practices that turn to sensing, relational pedagogies at their heart.
