The general aim of the bachelor in Pre-Primary Education (BEd) is to prepare pre-primary teachers who will teach students between the ages of 3 to 6. This means that the graduates should construct knowledge, and skills, as well as develop the pedagogical practices and attitudes that will enable them to organize playful learning environments that can enhance the holistic development of the students in the 21st century.
Based on this context, through teaching and research, teachers should be prepared to support the social, emotional, psychomotor, and moral development of students, beyond the mere focus on student’s cognitive development.
To be able to reach these objectives, both the bachelor in Pre-Primary Education (BEd) content and methodology aim at forming reflective educators who are able to evaluate their teaching and pedagogical decisions in order to improve their practice.
