Approaches to Pedagogical Action - Possibilities, Limits and Opportunities of Early Childhood Education for Sustainable Development

In this seminar we will deal with the educational concept of Education for Sustainable Development in the field of early childhood education and discover possibilities, limits and opportunities of early childhood sustainable development together. We will be guided by questions such as: What does sustainable development have to do with a good life? Can sustainable development counteract social inequality? Do we need transformation and what role do our emotions play? Curricular anchoring, further education and training possibilities as well as interventions in early childhood sustainable development are further topics of the seminar, in which more practical references are made. It is possible to set your own focus on early childhood sustainable development.

Selected Concepts - Seminar C

In this seminar, we will jointly address early childhood education concepts for dealing with heterogeneity in institutions of early education and care. After a theoretical introduction to the approaches of co-construction, anti-bias and doing-gender, students can focus on and develop selected concepts for dealing with heterogeneity under their own focus and constant supervision of the lecturers. The idea of the teaching-learning concept intertwines scientific theories/knowledge with early childhood education practice. The willingness of the participants to work independently and on their own responsibility (in groups) as well as self-reflective, biographical examination are fundamental.
