What do the different areas mean?
I'm currently completing full-time training as a kindergarten teacher. And we're working on the topic of service planning. We're supposed to justify our objectives based on the educational areas, developmental areas, and competency areas . What's the difference between these 'area types'? The educational area is mentioned in the orientation plan, right? (By the way, I live in Lower Saxony, if that's relevant.)
The education sector is a specific area that your offer is directed towards.
eg
Areas of development are a focus on something specific. For example, gross and fine motor skills, general knowledge about a topic, and "how and what the child learns."
Areas of competence , which in turn
are simply areas that describe what the child learns there.
The name actually says it all. An educational area imparts knowledge. This could be about the farm or real-life experiences like baking cookies.
The development area is there for exactly that purpose. It can be an activity that promotes fine motor skills, or it can address other deficits based on your own observations.
Areas of competence, for example social competence, ie interaction with a group, also self-competence is part of this
