"This module begins with a tracing of the historical foundations of early childhood education in the world, particularly in the Philippines. What did the early education advocates believe? What were the advancements in early childhood education through the years?
An examination of the philosophical foundations of early childhood education in the lens of the three streams of educational ideology – Romanticism, Cultural Transmission, and Progressivism – follows, with the learner writing his/her own philosophy of early childhood education.
The psychological foundations of early childhood education will give the learner an anchor before exploring the deeper waters. The theories on the nine belief systems – Psychodynamic, Behavioral, Cognitive, Sociocultural, Bioecological, Multiple Intelligences, Maturational-Development, Humanistic, and Brain-Based Theory – are discussed in-depth to serve as a guide to learning.
Finally, the legal foundations of early childhood education put forth international as well as Philippine policies. What are the laws that safeguard early childhood education? What is the K to 12 Law? What are the key features of Education 2030 on ECE? This module provides these foundations – historical, philosophical, psychological, and legal – to jumpstart a comprehensive study of early childhood education."--Back cover
