 Active Learning For Children

Children Active Learning

or Active Learning For
Children is an approach to
instruction in which
childrens employ the
material they study
through reading, writing,
talking, listening, and
reflecting
The  characteristics of strategies
that utilize active learning
• Childrens are involved in more than listening.
• Less emphasis is placed on transmitting
information and more on developing children’s
skills.
• Childrens are involved in higher-order thinking
• Childrens are engaged in activities

Planning an Active Learning Activity
What are your objectives for the activity?
Who will be interacting? Will childrens pair up with
someone beside them or someone sitting behind/in
front of them? Should they pair up with someone
with a different background? Someone they don't
know yet?
When does the activity occur during the class?
Beginning? Middle? End? How much time are you
willing to spend on it?
Will childrens write down their
answers/ideas/questions or just discuss them?

Research Results On The Implementation
of Childrens Active Learning

There has been so much enthusiasm for active learning that a

variety of research have been conducted related to it.  Several
studies have shown that childrens prefer strategies promoting
active learning to traditional lectures. A study  done by Armstrong
(1983) shows that childrens who receive a formal education learn
better when they are actively engaged in the learning process as
opposed to those who do not partake in the learning process.
 Conclusion
The Children Active Learning covers many kinds of  instructional activities done by
the childrens, not just being quiet listening to the lecture. The classroom activities
based on Childrens Active Learning can be in the form of individually activities,
paired activities, and group activities. Using the active learning approach does not
mean that the sessions of learning are always in group work. Rather, each teacher 
needs to consider his or her own course objectives, time allotment, teaching style
and reflect upon what suits the childrens’  needs.
