Guest TEEJ Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 Came across this site by mistake and now can't keep off it. i am at the start of my NVQ3 and it's nice to know there is help out there as we have all been through it. I have raved about this site to all my colleagues on the course and told them to join. Can anybody help on this question 'how children construct their own view of the world thru using their own intellectual capacity and the nature of their environment' I know what i want to say in my head but lost the plot and can't put it to paper! Any offers? Thx, TEEJ

Helen Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Hi TEEJ, A huge subject! I thing it's about children being active participants in their learning. Children are naturally inquisitiveand have a drive to explore and experiment. If they are encouraged to do so, with lots of interesting resources and knowledgeable adults who know when and how to intervene, children learn through DOING. If children are positively encourage to follow their spontaneous inclination to explore ideas and objects they build up a picture of their world and the way things work. eg, playing with water or sand, children will learn about how they move, what they feel like, how you can control and manipulate them, etc. By using all of their senses, and having the self-confidence to have a go and to take risks, children progress by building on their existing knowledge, refining their theories about the world. Hope this makes sense, and doesn't sound too much like a lecture!
Guest TEEJ Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Thank you all for your replies - helped me out a lot and now can put pen to paper. xx TEEJ
