Encountering and Interpreting the Principles of Reggio Emilia
Discover and explore the principles of Reggio Emilia in this one-of-a-kind online professional learning series, developed by Early Childhood Australia (ECA) and the Reggio Emilia Australia Information Exchange (REAIE), in collaboration with Reggio Children, Italy.
The series contains four modules:
- Encounter 1—Not just any place
- Encounter 2—Seeing things differently
- Encounter 3—Teachers and children as researchers
- Encounter 4—Pedagogy, a context for research
The encounter courses are only available as a collection and cannot be purchased separately.
Encounter 1: Not just any place
The first encounter, ‘Not just any place’, provides an overview of the Educational Project of Reggio Emilia, the context, the culture and the complexity of this educational approach. The next two encounters will build on this initial information with an in-depth exploration of several of the important concepts of the project through interpretations from Australian educators.
Encounter 2: Seeing things differently
The second encounter, ‘Seeing things differently’, offers the opportunity to consider pedagogical research and invites learners to consider ways that these choices link to daily practice. This encounter also provides information about some of the pedagogical choices made by educators who work in the municipal early childhood centres in Reggio Emilia and Australian interpretations of this approach, including the role of research and educational documentation, the importance of the environment in learning, the question of ‘What is knowledge?’, the metaphor of the ‘Hundred Languages’, and progettazione.
Encounter 3: Teachers and children as researchers
The third encounter ‘Teachers and children as researchers’ delves deeper into some of the strategies for designing and understanding the learning and teaching that the educators of the educational project of Reggio Emilia engage in as part of their day-to-day work with children.
Encounter 4: Pedagogy, a context for research
The fourth encounter, ‘Pedagogy, a context for research’, examines, in greater depth, some of the theoretical underpinnings, values, practices and language of the educational project of Reggio Emilia, although it should be kept in mind that the educational project of Reggio Emilia is always evolving.
