DESCRIPTION
This module is also delivered in ECE major specialism on the BEd.(ECE201).A definition and characterization of formative assessment in early childhood education is developed through reviewing students’ knowledge of early learning and associated theoretical constructs. Students are oriented toward approaches to assessment that are in the best interests of both children and their families. The what and how of assessing to support learning is explored and key strategies are analyzed. Ways of studying and assessing children’s learning and development in their natural, everyday environments especially in the context of play and interactions with others are exemplified. Advisory guidelines in relation to good practice are critiqued. Students use these as a basis for planning and reflecting on their work in assessing early learning and development
