Introduction to Early Years

This module will support and develop your academic expression, academic writing, reasoning, argument and critical thinking. You will read a range of literature and study different approaches to topics that are covered within the subject area of early years. You will be introduced to the practices of critical academic reading and writing. You will consider what we mean by ‘criticality’ and consider the ways in which we should read and write within an academic framework, and be encouraged to use web-based resources and to distinguish between different types of information e.g. government documents, multi-disciplinary research and practice-based information that is relevant to Early Years.
