| Outcome 1- Children have a strong sense of identity, links to the work of Erikson, Bowlby and other theories on social, emotional development. |
| Outcome 2 – Children are connected with and contribute to their world, links to the theories of Bronfenbrenner who believed that children influence their context. |
| Outcome 3 – Children have a strong sense of wellbeing, links to the work of Gesell Froebel, Steiner, classical theories of play. |
| Outcome 4 – Children are confident and involved learners, links to Piaget, Montessori, where they emphasised cognitive and fine motor development when children are independent and lead their own learning. |
| Outcome 5 – Children are effective communicators, links to Vygotsky, Rogoff where relationships were considered to be important for children to be connected with a more knowledgeable adult who can guide their learning, almost like an apprentice would be taught to gain new skills from a MKO. |
Theories inform EYLF broad outcomes in many ways – this is only one interpretation. How do you understand the links between domains of development and theories?
