Friedrich Froebel was a German educator who founded the concept of kindergarten in the 19th century. He believed that play is essential to childhood learning and designed educational toys and activities to support play-based learning. Some of his key contributions included establishing the first kindergarten, developing educational gifts and occupations for children, and emphasizing principles like self-activity, creativity, nature, and the importance of early childhood. Froebel viewed the teacher's role as a facilitator rather than instructor and aimed for a child-centered approach focused on developing the whole child. His theories significantly influenced early childhood education.
Waldorf Education.pptx
Waldorf Education is a worldwide independent school movement started nearly 100 years ago in Germany. It focuses on developing students' intellectual, artistic, and practical skills in a holistic manner through different methods tailored to three developmental stages from birth to age 21. In early childhood education from ages 2-7, Waldorf schools emphasize imagination and creative play through natural toys, storytelling, and engaging activities. The curriculum focuses on ample time for play, caring environments, consistent rhythms, real-life activities, relationships based on love, and committed educators.
Waldorf School
Rudolf Steiner founded Waldorf education in 1919 based on his philosophy of anthroposophy. The first Waldorf school opened in Stuttgart, Germany to educate workers' children. It was a coeducational, unified 12-year school with minimal state interference. Waldorf education aims to educate the whole child - spirit, soul, and body - through a balanced curriculum integrating art, music, movement, and nature. Teachers nurture each child's development according to their stage of childhood - imitation, imagination, or discrimination.
Brain Space Principles
The document discusses principles for creating an enriched environment for learning. It recommends keeping the classroom neat and orderly, promoting safety, and thoughtfully arranging spaces. Displays should provide relevant information and be created by students to foster ownership. Outdoor and indoor spaces should be linked to encourage movement. Community symbols should celebrate the school's purpose. A variety of active and passive spaces should accommodate different learning and social styles.
Pedagogical Approaches -C. Smith & J. Bryce
This document discusses pedagogical approaches for learning spaces and environments. It advocates for flexible learning spaces that support different styles and encourage collaboration. Learning environments should consider Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences by incorporating diverse spaces to engage different learners. The physical learning environment is important but an institution's culture is shaped more by the habits of thought fostered within it. Learning spaces should enable active, sensory, social, collaborative and resource-based learning through zones for individual work, collaboration, and explicit teaching, as well as opportunities for display, storage and bringing the outdoors inside.
Approaches in ece
The document discusses several early childhood education models including Montessori, Bank Street, Waldorf, High Scope, and Reggio Emilia. Each model has distinct approaches to the environment, children, teachers, materials, and curriculum. For example, Montessori focuses on didactic materials in organized classrooms while Bank Street builds on children's experiences in interest areas. The Reggio Emilia model emphasizes aesthetics, child-led projects, and teacher documentation.
2018 Ireland keynote
The document discusses the use of ePortfolios and reflective storytelling to support deep learning. It describes how ePortfolios can help students develop an understanding of themselves as lifelong learners by supporting metacognition, reflection on experiences, and goal setting. Reflective storytelling through digital storytelling and writing is presented as a key component of ePortfolios, as it allows students to construct meaning from their learning experiences and showcase their growth over time. Implementing ePortfolios requires considering their purpose, appropriate tools, and ensuring the process supports reflection and identity development.

Loris Malaguzzi was an Italian educator and founder of the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education. He began working in nursery schools in 1946 and went on to establish the Municipal Psycho-Pedagogical Medical center where he worked as a psychologist for over 20 years. The Reggio Emilia approach focuses on viewing the child as a protagonist, collaborator, and communicator. Teachers take on the role of researchers and guides to provoke children's thinking through a rich learning environment.
Preschool Teaching Methods and Techniques Used Worldwide
In the past few decades, preschool teaching methods have come a long way from the traditional benches and teacher-directed approach. A considerable amount of research has now been done on early childhood. The experts in the field have concluded that the child’s first five years of life is one of the most crucial times in terms of the development that takes place in a child’s life, which has a lasting impact as they grow into adults.
A child begins to learn from the time they are born and continue over their lifespan. An interesting fact is that 90% of the brain develops in the first 3 yrs of life. This is the prime period in child development where learning takes place aggressively and at a phenomenal pace, the child is developing their motor and language skills, and their senses are heightened as they explore and absorb things around them. By the time they reach age, 6.95% of brain development has already occurred. From this, we can derive how significant the early childhood years are.
Around this time, the child also begins their learning outside the home and in a preschool. We must remember that preschool should be when your child begins to love learning and trying out new things. Therefore we need to select a preschool or nursery with teaching methods that best suit your child.
Preschool teaching methods differ from one preschool to another depending on the approach and philosophies they follow. Let’s understand a bit about a few main preschool teaching approaches worldwide that are followed today.

Cry Freedom: Autonomous Opportunities for Personalised Engagement (By Paula J...UNESCO Chair in Education & Technology for Social Change
This demonstration addresses ways in which we can begin to consider starting points for rearticulating the goal of education today. It argues that in an age when billions of facts are at students’ fingertips through the internet, the central goal of education should focus on learning how to think and how to be curious, rather than learning how to remember facts. Furthermore, by encouraging teachers to transform their environments of learning into interactive and immersive creative spaces, where inter-disciplinary learning and play are intertwined, the demonstration argues that students will assimilate a wide range of personal, if unpredictable, learning opportunities.
The demonstration includes film footage from the initial research project, ‘Fly Me to the Moon’, which explored how children engage with their environment by transforming the learning zones of a school into a lunar landscape and allowing the children freedom to interact with this creative space. Here children had access to both traditional ‘play’ materials (card, paper, sticky tape) and new technologies (audio recorders, video, cameras, animation), and were offered opportunities to reflect on their experience by looking at films of themselves ‘in process’.
Building on the findings of ‘Fly Me To The Moon’, the post-demonstration discussion will explore the potential for reapplying the key themes to new learning environments -eg museums, galleries, and non-school contexts. The aim is to continue to develop this practice-based research to investigate the themes of offering choices to students, holistic and immersive inter-disciplinary environments, personalised learning and opportunities to learn through creativity.KAQ1023 kuliah 1

Educational Philosophy - Beth Dror
Beth Dror outlines her educational philosophy which is based on constructivist learning theory. She believes that students are active creators of knowledge who learn best through exploration, inquiry, and solving real-world problems. The teacher's role is to facilitate this process by igniting curiosity and allowing students to formulate their own ideas, test hypotheses, and share conclusions. Dror has planned units for her classes that follow these principles, such as a living history day on the Wild West for 4th graders and a project on Henri Rousseau inspired by student interest in mammals and plants. She also emphasizes creating a supportive classroom where students feel valued and experience daily success through learning at their own pace.

Explore+Discover’s Supportive Environment for Early Learning
- 1. EXPLORE+DISCOVER’S SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR EARLY LEARNING Michael Koffler
- 2. INTRODUCTION Michael Koffler is a New York education industry entrepreneur who is presently developing a network of early childhood centers. At Explore+Discover, Michael Koffler has set in place a science-based learning system that encompasses elements such as sensory experience and multi-mode tactile activity. An article in New York Family emphasized the school’s unique focus on meeting the needs of parents of babies and toddlers who want a warm, supportive environment for their children. The 6,400-square foot space in Manhattan encompasses eight classrooms, an early age library, a gathering space, a multi- modal art room, and a private room that nursing mothers are welcome to use. An added benefit is a unique private, protected, outdoor play space, with the entire facility described as a “childhood dreamscape of color and cheer.” The Explore+Discover approach is driven by a passion for instilling creativity at an early age, with inspiration found in the Reggio Emilia educational philosophy. At its core is the belief that children should take an integral role in the unfolding of their everyday learning activities. With a sense of independent learning instilled, the first years of life offer extensive potential for personal growth and development. Explore & Discover elevates a child's, and a parent's experience to a well thought through, learning living environment
