EDRE641 Early Childhood and Religious Education
10 cp
Religious education in early childhood settings is distinctive and the classroom religion program requires an approach and pedagogy that reflects such a distinction. This approach and pedagogy are informed and underpinned by Church documents and key religious education theoretical understandings and frameworks. This unit examines Church documents and their relevance for early childhood religious education, the nature and purpose of religious education in early childhood, spiritual and religious developmental theories of young children, and appropriate pedagogy for the teaching and learning of the classroom religion program in early childhood.
