Objectives

This module aims to build upon student’s emerging reflective capacities. The module functions to pull together how students have made sense of their time at University so far. Students will need to reflect upon the knowledge, theories, and learning experiences both in and outside of the classroom that they have encountered so far in terms of how these have developed their thinking. Students will also be encouraged to consider how this knowledge and these experiences have enhanced their professional practice with children and families. Students will begin to take a more systematic, self-directed approach to determining their own learning and professional needs and making plans to address these into the future.
