Purpose The purpose of this assignment is to describe influences and changes that have occurred in early childhood education through its history.

Theories may align with the contributors (eg. Vygotsky and Social Learning Theory) or may be different from echoing other (eg.

It is never acceptable or appropriate to simply provide information that is copied and pasted from a source - any source. Even if the information were cited properly, copying and pasting does not demonstrate knowledge. To support academic integrity and writing development, this assignment will be reviewed using the university’s approved academic integrity support tool. The tool provides originality and similarity feedback, including potential GenAI indicators, and may provide writing mechanics feedback to help students review source use, citation, and writing clarity. Citation and Reference Style Resources Please use the most current edition of APA Style. Resources for APA formatting can be found here. APA Style [website] The American Psychological Association states, "The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association is the style manual of choice for writers, editors, students, and educators in the social and behavioral sciences. It provides invaluable guidance on all aspects of the writing process, from the ethics of authorship to the word choice that best reduces bias in language. Well-known for its authoritative and easy-to-use reference and citation system, the Publication Manual also offers guidance on choosing the headings, tables, figures, and tone that will result in strong, simple, and elegant scientific communication." IMPORTANT NOTE: All writing for this assignment must be original. Content generated by Artificial Intelligence is not permitted and will be addressed via the Student Code of Conduct. Students are responsible for the accuracy of information in their submissions. Please also see the Grading Rubric for more information on how your assignment will be graded.
