Learning Through Activities.

lreaning

Active learning is generally defined as any instructional method that engages students in the learning process. In short, active learning requires students to do meaningful learning activities and think about what they are doing.

In Learning to Learn the activities involve many different tasks. These include:

·         Answering a question about something you have just learned by writing a short answer.

·         Completing a multiple-choice quiz.

·         Watching a video and making notes about the most important points.

The activities are important because they:

·   Give you the opportunity to review what you have learned from your study of the course.

·     Help you to consolidate your own learning, for example by prompting you to revisit parts of the course that you have not fully understood.

• Children learn through everything they experience
• Encourage learning with interesting activities and interaction
• Everyday activities actively engage children

Children learn through everything they experience during the day – not only through specific activities that you plan for them. Adults should encourage children’s learning by providing a range of

interesting things for children to do and they should interact with them to help them make sense of these experiences.

Good learning experiences are ones that are actively engaging and enable children to use many of their senses, such as touch, sight, hearing, smell and taste.
