Studying Early Childhood
A three-part guide to making the transition to studying at degree level for early years practitioners, by Professor Kay Sambell of Northumbria University.
Studying Early Childhood: Part 1 - Becoming an active learner
When making the transition to studying at degree level, students will be challenged to think in new and unaccustomed ways, with different study practices than they have used before.
Studying Early Childhood: Part 2 - Reading, writing and producing assignments
How to read widely and critically, think independently and present the material in your assignments in a way that shows the original work you have done.
Studying Early Childhood: Part 3: Visits, observations, placements and dissertations
Most early childhood degrees include 'real-world' experiences in early years settings and a related final-year project or dissertation. Make the most of these learning opportunities by bringing your critical thinking skills with you on the placement.
