Early Childhood Intervention: History, Models and Paradigms

N/A

The course has 20 theoretical / practical hours. The sessions will alternate between expository and participatory methodologies using document analysis (written and audio visual) and reflections in small and large groups on them.

The evaluation will be done through the collective construction of a portfolio in which each trainee deepens, individually, one of the topics of the program.

In weighing the final grade, the following components will be taken into account:

-quality of individual work 40%

-quality of work in the global-30%

-quality of participation in the sessions-30%

This course intends that trainees understand the evolution of IPI; identify the processes for building practices; realize the determinant influence of some theories in the construction of models of these practices, as well as their influence in changing paradigms. It is also intended that trainees acquire knowledge related to the specificity of the Early Childhood Intervention, mastering theoretical and legislative constructs that allow them to acquire basic skills to act in this domain.
