Dept. of Early Childhood Education
Vision
The Department of Early Childhood Education enables students to become competent kindergarten teachers or experts in early childhood education. With an ageing population, the pool of workers is diminishing requiring both parents to become active in the workforce. It indicates that there are a growing number of young children entering child-care facilities, which in turn requires more early childhood teachers and experts. By fostering students with the University’s motto of sincerity and service, the courses provided in the department would allow them to make positive contributions to developing the youngest of our future leaders.
Course Description
The course will prepare students to become competent kindergarten teachers or a professional in early childhood education with the knowledge, skills and dispositions necessary to have a positive impact on student achievement. Students will learn to uphold the university's motto, sincerity and service, as a student and later as a teacher. Students will be able to contribute to the development of early childhood education in their local communities. Moreover, they will always be aware of the changes in the fast-changing society and will always be able to adapt to these changes.
