Dewey’s Experiential Learning Theory  (August 2003)

Courses:
1. ECED-1076 Curriculum & Pedagogy: 0-3 Years
2. ECED-3042 Curriculum & Pedagogy: 3-6 Years

3. ECED-3040 Professionalism, Ethics and Advocacy

Reflection:

These courses and theories allow me to make many adjustments based on the interests and experiences of my children. For example, ECED-3040 Professionalism, Ethics and Advocacy deepened my understanding of ethical practice, advocacy, and professional responsibilities as a RECE. I will build trust with families and maintain positive communication with them. For example, as a Chinese, I will take the initiative to communicate with Chinese parents or Chinese parents so that parents will not be troubled by language barriers. Through this process, I not only win the trust of parents, but also help them find appropriate strategies to support their children's growth.

Hello, and welcome to my Early Childhood Education (ECE) e-Portfolio. My name is Yang (Cici). I love working with children and supporting their growth.

Before coming to Canada, I tutored English for children aged 5-12. This experience allowed me to see the children go from not knowing the letters to being able to read a story fluently. Every progress of the children gave me a strong sense of satisfaction. This experience made me realize the importance of communicating with parents and building positive relationships with children.

Therefore, I came to Canada and chose the Early Childhood Education Program. I want to learn more about children's development and how to grow with children in a positive way.

In this e-Portfolio, I will share the professional knowledge I learned at Fanshawe and my reflections.

Critical Pedagogy (October, 2024)

Courses:

1. ECED-1048 Foundations of ECE

2. ECED-3003 Educational Perspectives

3. ECED-3041 Child Abuse and Neglect

Reflection：

Through learning, I learned that it is important to understand the development and needs of children. Through studying Paulo Freire's Critical Pedagogy, I learned that children are not containers, and I need to face every child equally. I should not instill knowledge into children, but let them think for themselves.

Courses:
1. ECED- 3022  Partnership with Families

Reflection：

The family is the first teacher of the child, so it is important to build a good relationship with the family, children and colleagues. I want to provide a fair environment for every child. This requires me to understand the background of each child and have sufficient educational expertise. It is important to let the family actively participate in the growth of the child. This means that I need to understand the cultural background and religion of each family and support the needs of each family. So I often hold different cultural activities such as Sari in India. I encourage my Indian colleagues to introduce the traditional culture of India to the children, and let the children feel the Sari materials through touch and smell.

Courses:
1. ECED-1005 Health Safety & Nutrition

Reflection：

Children's health and nutrition are important for their well-being and future development. In childcare, I prepare healthy and fresh food for each child to ensure that each child gets adequate nutrition. I also encourage children to participate in outdoor sports to help improve their immunity actively. I also made a hand-washing song for the children to make them habitually wash their hands.

Courses:

1. ECED-1053 Promoting Pro-Social Behaviour

2. SOCI-3003 Canadian Families Change & Diversity
Reflection：

It is important for educators to establish a positive relationship with families and children. In studying children's social behavior, I learned that meaningful connections require not only communication, but also understanding the needs of each family and child.

Through the internship, I learned that many children are nervous and sad because they just arrived. I need to make plans with parents to solve the children's stress. When children feel relaxed and happy, they join in the learning happily.

By learning about the diversity of Canadian families, I have a better understanding of Aboriginal families and residential schools. Many children have become ill and died due to the long-term impact and harm of residential schools. This information has a great impact on my future as an early childhood educator. So now I know that I need to respect the culture and background of every child.

Artifacts：

Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory (January,2020)

Montessori Method （2024）

Courses:
1. ECED-1074 Child Development: Intro
2. ECED-1075 Child Development: 0-3 Years
3. ECED-3038 Child Development: 3-6 Years

4. ECED-3039 Child Development: 6-12 Years

Reflection：

I chose these artifacts to add to my portfolio because these artifacts and courses enhance my reflective teaching strategies. For example, Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory (January 2020) gave me an understanding of microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem. I recognize how family activities, social activities, and cultural values ​​affect children’s well-being and behavior. So when a child shows loneliness, I will reflect on the impact of family or community life. I will work with the family to better make the child feel comfortable and safe. Among them, Montessori education can add activities to children’s lives. For example, the activity of children using clips to clip coins not only exercises children’s hands-on ability but also allows children to exercise in daily activities. By applying this reflective practice, I better support the holistic development of children and provide inclusive learning experiences. Through my effective collaboration with each family and professional, every child has developed positively.

In this class, I see that every child has a unique background and experience. I should support and respect every child's culture. So I should not only show it at some specific festivals, but also develop cultural diversity in daily life. For example, in Sari Activity, we integrate Indian culture into children's daily activities.

Education should be a tool of freedom rather than oppression. Freire advocates respecting the voice of every child, making children active participants in learning rather than passive recipients. This educational philosophy encourages children to think, question and express, which helps to cultivate independent thinking and self-confidence. In day care, I encourage children to express their thoughts and feelings every day to cultivate their independent thinking and self-confidence.

When I was arranging the Sari activity, the children were very happy and they were looking forward to it. When the activity started, the children exercised their arm strength by grabbing, holding, pulling and pulling. This is good for the children's well-being. At the same time, some children put Sari on their faces to see the world of different colors. Because the translucency of the scarf allows children to see different colors, it increases their curiosity.

A healthy diet is good for children's well-being. So we need to help children develop good eating habits from an early age, such as eating more vegetables, fruits, and grains and drinking less sugary drinks. This guide also emphasizes the importance of family cooking. When parents eat with their children, children can not only get adequate nutrition but also develop life skills.

This article made me realize that it is important to build a positive relationship with children. When children feel understood and listened to, they are more willing to cooperate and behave positively. Empathy is important for girls. I would say that I understand that I often miss my mother. But I know that my mother goes to work and she will come in the afternoon. When children's thoughts are understood, they will be more willing to be close to me.

On the Chinese New Year, I decorated the classroom into a Chinese environment. On this day, I introduced Chinese traditional festivals to the children, which helped them understand different cultures.

During this semester's work experience, I had the opportunity to apply the knowledge and strategies I learned in the classroom to preschool children aged 2-4 years old. I designed at least 5 activities that supported the children's development. The most rewarding part of my internship was building a positive relationship with the children. When I noticed that a group of preschoolers were interested in architecture, I helped create a loose part area to expand their thinking and teamwork. This experience made me more confident in my role as a RECE.

In this presentation, we discussed Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed. In Freire's model, Teachers and students create knowledge and learning together. In the classroom, we can often organize activities to let children discuss topics with each other. For example, since Easter is coming soon, we can guide children on how they celebrated Easter in the past and let them actively discuss it.

This is a hand washing song I made. I hope to help children develop a good habit of washing hands through songs and gestures.

We created a welcome song in English, Portuguese, Cantonese and Chinese. Children feel nervous when they first come to kindergarten or day care, so we have different languages ​​in this song, hoping that children will feel relaxed when they hear familiar voices. At the same time, we chose the familiar song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, which helps children feel a sense of belonging.

I develop children's fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination through Montessori activities. I provide children with different art materials, such as colored pencils, colored paper, clay and paint. Children have the opportunity to try different manual activities, thereby exercising their hand dexterity and fine motor skills.

As an ECE, I hope to give children more opportunities to make their own choices and explore in their daily lives. I can provide appropriate support to children by observing their interests, so that they can socialize and learn in a relaxed and stress-free environment. In addition, I also hope to communicate with parents appropriately so that they understand the importance of balancing learning and free play, and create an environment for the comprehensive development of their children.
