Difference Between Learning Outcome 3.2 and 3.3

[AAnge]

Hi everyone. Sorry if this is a repeating post.
I'm wondering if anyone can help me pointing out the difference between Learning Outcome 3.2 and 3.3. For me, not only their description is somewhat similar, but the evidences & way to promotes these 2 outcomes are almost same. Even some bullet points between these seems copy & paste. If they actually are same why would it was made into different subs outcomes, instead of just 3.2, like the EYLF 1.0 ?

Thank you for your time to respond this..

I understand how the descriptions of Learning Outcomes 3.2 and 3.3 in the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) can seem similar. Let's break down the differences and why they might be separated into distinct sub-outcomes.

### Learning Outcome 3.2: Children take increasing responsibility for their own health and physical wellbeing
This outcome focuses on children developing autonomy and responsibility for their health and physical wellbeing. It includes:

- Recognizing and communicating their bodily needs (e.g., hunger, thirst, rest).
- Engaging in increasingly complex physical activities.
- Making healthy choices about food, drink, and physical activity.

### Learning Outcome 3.3: Children become aware of fairness
This outcome emphasizes children developing an understanding of fairness and equity. It includes:

- Recognizing unfairness and bias.
- Developing empathy and respect for others.
- Engaging in actions that promote fairness and equity.

### Key Differences
- **Focus**: 3.2 is about personal health and physical wellbeing, while 3.3 is about social justice and fairness.
- **Skills Developed**: 3.2 focuses on self-care and physical activities, whereas 3.3 focuses on social skills like empathy and fairness.
- **Evidence and Promotion**: While some activities might overlap (e.g., group games that promote physical activity and fairness), the intent and outcomes are different. For instance, a cooking activity might promote healthy eating (3.2) and sharing (3.3).

### Why Separate Outcomes?
- **Clarity and Specificity**: Separating these outcomes helps educators focus on specific aspects of children's development. It ensures that both personal health and social justice are given adequate attention.
- **Holistic Development**: By distinguishing these outcomes, the framework supports a more holistic approach to child development, addressing both physical and social-emotional growth.
