This course builds on CD1370 (Guiding Children's Behaviour I) and provides an in depth exploration of factors that influence children's behaviour, as well as guidance strategies practitioners can use to build children's social competence. Emphasis is placed on the importance of the adult-child relationship as the foundation for children's social, emotional and moral development. This course also offers strategies for coping with challenging behaviours, such as bullying and for working collaboratively with parents to resolve behavioural issues.

In this course, students will develop the skills and knowledge needed to plan, facilitate, and evaluate dynamic outdoor play experiences for young children. Building on foundational child development and play theories, the curriculum emphasizes balancing opportunities for risk-taking with the maintenance of a safe and supportive environment. Students will explore strategies for fostering inclusive, nature-based play spaces, develop a repertoire of outdoor activities and games adaptable to all seasons, and promote curiosity, independence, and environmental stewardship. Through reflective learning and collaborative activities, participants will gain the confidence and competence to create engaging outdoor experiences that support children’s overall growth and well-being.

This course provides an overview of computing science concepts for students with little or no programming background. Topics include representation of data, machine architecture, operating system concepts, properties of algorithms and computational problems, syntax of a high-level procedural programming language, basic data types and control structures. Students do introductory programming in this course.

An introduction to Computing Science in which you learn to solve simple problems by writing small computer programs in JAVA. This course presents a high-level object-oriented computing model based on objects as well as primitive data types, control structures and methods. It will be limited to basic elementary algorithms and techniques for constructing elegant and robust solutions to simple problems. The laboratories will offer you the opportunity to translate concepts presented in lectures into interesting application programs.

The course provides a review of programming principles (specification, implementation and testing), and an extension of object-oriented concepts from CS1140 including data abstraction, modular program construction and program reuse. The emphasis is on dynamic data structures (eg. lists, string, stacks, queues, tables), and their associated algorithms (eg. recursion, traversal, sorting, searching, hashing).

This course provides an introduction to computer communications and computer networks. Topics will include communication hardware and software, protocols, local area and wide area networks, and network management.

This course introduces you to the principles, methods, tools, and practices of a professional programmer working in a rich programming environment. The lectures focus on the fundamental principles of programming methodology based on abstract data types and their implementations. The laboratories offer an intensive apprenticeship opportunity for the aspiring software developer. You will use the programming languages C and C++ and software development tools supported by the Microsoft Windows and UNIX programming environment.

This course will provide education students with the basic skills for using the most common information technology tools currently applied in schools. The types of tools include Internet tools, digital media processing, multimedia/hypermedia presentations, spreadsheets, and databases. The course offers a number of advanced modules dealing with more complex topics in these areas plus additional tools such as those for editing digital video and sound.

The first course of a two course sequence on algorithm design and analysis stream, with the emphasis on the fundamentals such as searching, sorting and graph algorithms. Examples include divide and conquer, dynamic programming, greedy method, backtracking, and local search methods. Analysis techniques will be developed to aid in judging program efficiency.

This course introduces the fundamentals of PC hardware. Students will open up machines, install devices such as hard drives, I/O cards, video cards as well as memory, CD/DVD ROM drives, install operating systems, explore a variety of different software packages, attach communications equipment and supporting software. Topics include system hardware (e.g. motherboards, processors, storage devices, memory), device drivers, operating systems (e.g. Windows, Linux), troubleshooting and maintenance of LAN (lLocal Area Network)-based PC, etc.
