LEARNING: to acquire knowledge or skills through experience, study, or by being taught
When I completed my degree in education my major was early childhood education. The main push at that time was learning through play. To many, the words play & learning appear to be contrasting, but for me there is an obvious connection. Children & adults alike learn more when they are interested in the topic & engaged in activities. Interactions with people, things & information is how we explore the world. Play builds relationships, explores social roles & fosters one's imagination.
Links between Play & Learning:
- promotes emotional regulation
- allows children to gain competence & skills that help them feel good about themselves
- provides a model where adults teach children how to behave & how to treat others
- provides the opportunity to learn essential social skills: take turns, share, cooperate
- learn self- respect & how to treat others with respect
- promotes a child’s development (physical, social, intellectual, cultural, emotional)
