ECED 2365

Through a comprehensive global perspective, this course explores diversity, culture and beliefs and how each impacts our view and our work with young children and their families. Students will consider issues that shape cultures, educational discourse, early childhood and childcare. In relation to current demographics in British Columbia, students will explore the application of theories related to systems, collectivist and individualistic cultures. Students will broaden their understanding and perspective as they research, analyze and reflect on issues of global consideration. Students will enhance their professional knowledge as they research different cultures and available resources. As a result of expanded understanding of global perspectives, students will be more prepared in their professional practice when working with young children in twenty-first century multicultural settings.
