Interested in the development of children’s thinking? The Children and Learning minor prepares you for a range of careers working with children and youth. Unique in New Zealand, the Children and Learning minor is designed for those interested in the development of children’s thinking and understanding across several disciplines and from a range of cultural perspectives.
The minor draws on a socio-cultural and constructivist approach to learning and development that views children as actively involved in meaning-making of their worlds.
To reflect the cultural diversity of our students, we explore the topic of children and learning from different cultural perspectives, including Western, Māori and Pacific frameworks. There are also opportunities for students from other ethnicities to reflect their cultural understandings.
Available as a minor only.
