Learning outcomes
The course objective is to help student develop in-depth understanding of intrinsically motivated, creative, and freely chosen play along the human life course and an educator's role in creating supportive environment for its growth and preservation. Students will be introduced to theories of free play, playwork, Hughes's typology of play, and Nicholson's theory of loos parts in children's play. They will understand the main risks of free play-deprivation in children and common limitations of adult-led organization, provision, and control of play time and space. They will learn to use a set of quality assessment tools for organizations seeking to create free play-friendly environment. Last but not least the course explores free play-related employment and business opportunities for leisure and sport studies graduates.
