About the course
Aim
After completing the course, the student must be able to

In the course, play is treated as a central part of childhood and it is described from different research based perspectives. Play is also related to teachers’ mission to stimulate creativity, learning and development and promote social community between children. Furthermore, how teachers can create environments for play is discussed, as well as the pedagogical potential in play as a way to interact and communicate.
