This module aims to develop your understanding and appreciation of the different traditions in researching social phenomena and identifying the major components in the research process. You will be expected to consider the growth of evidence based practice and the impact on early years pedagogy. 

This module is aimed at practitioners who are working with young children and builds upon the knowledge gained in EYC4008 Introduction to Child Development. The purpose of the module is to evaluate established theories and more current research in the area of child development in more depth and apply these to practice. In particular, you will consider the observation and assessment of children to ensure the individual needs of children are met. The module also aims to promote partnership working with parents and other professionals working with the child and their families.
