Hey Everyone,

I need to write a few sentences on few questions for an interview. The age group I will be working with is four years.Just wondering if anyone could help me with this please as I wanted to write this properly.These are just few of them only.

My questions are;

1.What you know about Early Childhood Education in Australia in general.

2.A statement which expresses your values and beliefs about authentic learning in the context of Early Childhood Education.

3.What you know about five year olds in general given that each child is unique.

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards,
Tac

Tac - generally you need to provide the answers you have so far so we can let you know if you are on the right track.

However for Q1, I would definitely talk about the implementation of EYLF and NQS across Aust.
Q2, well these are your beliefs but for me it would be something along the lines of ensuring that all learning opportunites relate to real life, ie: make it relevant for the kids, don't tell them a boring chalk and talk lesson about numbers, utilise in ways they will see in the real world, numbers on letterboxes, in shops, ages etc.
Q3, as each child is unique, it would be looking at them as individuals and learning about their strengths, interests etc an build on those.

Let us know what you have so far and maybe I can be of more help

Hi Cathiek,

Question 1 ;still thinking


Question 2 ;Im thinking of "I belief that children learn best through play".


This is what I did for question 3.

I believe that every child is different and in his or her own way, for example, individual abilities, preferences, and personalities.
(including full of descriptions and tales with almost adult sentence structures). They want to know more about how the world works. Real –life experiences help them to understand "how" and "why" things happen. Generally, five-year old children learn through play and exploration with others. They can play simple games with rules. They like to run,jump,climb,balance on a beam and swing. Movement exploration encocourages children to find many different ways of doing things and problem solving in the physical world.
