Play based pedagogy
NCF and Play Based
Pedagogy
The NCF clearly states (Department of Basic
Education, 2015:2) that when working with young
children the curriculum has to include experiences:
• that are planned for young children wherever they
are being care for and educated, referred to as
adult-initiated,
• which are not consciously planned by adults
(incidental learning/teachable moments)
• created by the children themselves in order to make
sense of their world - child-initiated
