Case Study
Habib is 30 months old and his parents have asked for some advice as they believe in formal education. They want to know how you are teaching Habib to write.
- How would you explain to Habib’s parents the importance of ‘play’ and how play experiences will equip their child to learn to write?
- How would you explain to the parents about the play, the theoretical perspectives and the activities which support Habib’s cognitive development in preparing him to learn to write?
It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your tutor.
