The Foundation Degree in Childhood Studies and Professional Practice will provide students with a challenging high quality programme aimed to develop an understanding of the concepts of childhood studies and the professional practice involved in supporting development and learning. The curriculum provides skills, knowledge and understanding in a range of subject areas that combine to form a field of knowledge in Childhood Studies and Professional Practice. This is done through provision of a foundation in higher level learning and criticality, child development and needs and the historical and social nature of childhood. The core content includes a strong first year input in child development and child needs issues. This is based on sociological perspectives but also allows the student to explore theoretical issues in the context of relevant placement in child settings. An important focus in this is the teaching of observational and assessment techniques that will be used later in the student's course of study. In addition the student will consider historical and social issues that allow analysis of cultural, gender and class issues. The child as individual and the child within society are core issues for all students that are developed through specific modules. The degree will develop graduates who have an analytical and reflective understanding of children`s development and learning in relation to the wider educational context.
