Early Education: Supporting the Development of Partial Abilities
Course description
This course is designed to introduce methods and practical effects at early education supporting the development of partial abilities. We will discuss how to help this development at all learning areas on an age-appropriate level. We will focus on the moving-music-sensation triad which guides kids more effectively through their early ages without exact language knowledge. The course is designed for those who are interested in the theoretical background and practical effects of a successful learning development possibility.
Objectives
