Overview
The specific emphasis in the BEd Childhood Education (Honours) from University of Johannesburg is on children’s learning and development and on ways to assess this in the birth to 12 years age-group, based on current theories of the developing child.
This also entails the study and the use of applied methods of research with which to capture individual children’s learning and development, specifically also their learning in the different subject areas of the primary school. The overall purpose is thus to educate a new generation of scholars in the field of childhood education
Design of the programme
The programme is designed in a way that will enable students to engage with critical issues in the learning of mathematics and science, language and literacy, the social sciences and culture, and human movement and physical education.
Towards this end the design logic of the program is that students will apply their knowledge of the literature and of the world of practice to construct custom-designed instruments for assessment, while also learning to use standardised instruments that are available to practising teachers.
