Are you ready to learn more about what intentionality looks like in play-based learning environments?
The Early Years Learning framework (EYLF) V2.0 reminds us that “play-based learning with intentionality can expand children’s thinking and enhance their desire to know and to learn, promoting positive dispositions towards learning” (AGDE, 2022, p. 21).
However, how do we strike the balance between play and our role as the intentional pedagogue in the children’s play?
In this 2-hour session we will look closely at intentionality and our role as the intentional educator in play. We will explore practical intentional strategies to bring the child’s play to life to enhance and extend learning.
Participants will have the opportunity to:
- Explore types of play, what play-based learning is defined as in research literature, and the difference between play-based learning and play.
- Examine the key changes in play-based learning and intentionality in the EYLF V2.0, and the reasons for the changes.
- Examine the role of the intentional educator in children’s play-based learning.
- Develop an understanding of intentional pedagogy and how educators can use intentional strategies to extend
