ECE-160 - Dynamics of Childhood Behavior

3 credits

The student will examine the process of guiding young children, evaluate personal strategies for guiding young children, and design implementation of strategies based on knowledge that effective interaction with children develops when self-responsible adults accept responsibility, make informed behavioral decisions, understand how children develop, develop skills for effective guidance, possess realistic expectations for self and for children, understand the different systems which affect children’s behavior, and include the long- and short-term goals of child guidance. Students will increase their objectivity and demonstrate proficiency in observing and interpreting children’s behavior through their fieldwork in coordination with coursework.
