ECEA 582 - Theory of Play 3 Credit Hours
In this course, candidates focus on the theoretical and methodological aspects of play and its effect on a child’s physical, cognitive, linguistic, and social-emotional development. Course content emphasizes the importance of children’s play, identifies how play environments are organized in diverse and inclusive early childhood settings, and illustrates how play is used to promote learning and growth across all developmental domains. Using content area knowledge and appropriate state and national learning standards, candidates examine procedures for designing, planning, organizing and interpreting various instructional strategies, tools, methodologies, and environments for all young children in the pre-primary and primary early childhood classrooms. Additionally, candidates explore the selection, adaptation, and use of instructional strategies and materials for children with exceptional learning needs that can be generalized across various learning environments and academic disciplines.
