Incorporating African Culture in the Early Childhood Environment.
Shareef, Intisar
This practicum addressed the need for an African Studies curriculum guide for early childhood education by developing 30 activities which could be integrated into the practical life, language, geography, art, and music areas of child care centers. Practicum goals were to (1) develop a curriculum guide of age appropriate learning activities for teaching about Africa; (2) conduct on-site inservice teacher training sessions to familiarize staff with the guide and assist in developing materials; (3) assess implementation of the guide via a checklist; and (4) pre- and posttest the children receiving instruction. During the implementation process teachers developed materials and integrated them into their settings. Children worked with the materials and showed appreciable gains in knowledge and positive attitudes about Africa. Lesson plans are included in the appended related materials. (Author/RH)
