Module 4: Living Inquiries – Engagement with Others, Materials, and the World

Introduction

Welcome to Module 4: Living Inquiries - Engagement with Others, Materials and the World.

Modules 3-6 explore four living inquiries, and the pathways provided by the Early Learning Framework. If you haven’t learned about living inquiries, or want a refresher, visit Module 3.

The four living inquiries are

• Well-being and belonging
• Engagement with others, materials, and the world
• Communication and literacies
• Identities, social responsibility, and diversity

In this module, you will explore the living inquiry of engagement with others, materials, and the world.

You will also review pathways related to the inquiry, and mini-case studies that demonstrate how these pathways have been included in an educator’s practice. For each of the pathways, critically reflective questions help you think about how you may include the inquiry into your own professional practice.
