The aim of the course on early-childhood pedagogy is to promote critical thinking on how interactions among people, contexts, culture, knowledge, and pedagogy influence the early childhood development. Epistemological, methodological and social issues in early childhood pedagogy will be discussed, with a particular focus on the main features of educational professionalism and project-oriented education in childcare. The specificity of the pedagogical thinking regarding the relations between logic and ethic and the cognitive sphere and social domain will be presented.
