Experiential Learning
Experiential learning involves acquiring knowledge through direct observation and experience, followed by analysis and understanding. It is effective because children learn best from real-world experiences with objects and other people. Experiential learning requires personal involvement in tasks, discovery by the student, and clear objectives. It emphasizes directly experiencing the subject matter and drawing conclusions from experiences. Teachers should involve students in planning, allow reflection time, focus on positive feelings, and encourage sharing experiences with others to facilitate experiential learning.
Pedagogy driven
The document discusses how technology should be used to enhance pedagogy and learning rather than be the focus. It emphasizes that technology is only an enabler and that what matters most is the teaching approach. The author also notes that the use of technology in education needs to be driven by pedagogical goals and considerations rather than being technology-focused.

Theories of Child Development
The document discusses several theories of child development and their implications for language education. It describes Piaget's view that children should engage in self-directed learning tasks appropriate to their developmental level. Vygotsky's theory emphasizes social learning and the role of language as a thinking tool. Bruner's concept of scaffolding notes cognitive development occurs through language and simplified tasks broken into smaller steps with adult guidance. Routines and a spiral curriculum that exposes topics in multiple ways and links old and new information are also discussed.
Theorists and educational research
The document discusses behaviorism theory and several of its key theorists including Ivan Pavlov, Albert Bandura, and B.F. Skinner. It notes that behaviorism is based on the idea that learning is determined by stimuli and responses and reactions to environmental factors and is focused on objectively observable behaviors. It also provides brief biographies of Pavlov, Bandura, and Skinner, describing their major contributions to behaviorism theory through experiments with dogs, social learning theory, and operant conditioning respectively.
Graphic Organizer about "Theories of Child Development"

Engage students with experiential learning in your classroom
A how-to interactive training for teachers to help them learn how to use experiential learning in their classroom. Easy and fun activities that they can immediately apply after the training event to engage students
Experiential learning
The document discusses experiential learning, which involves students learning through experience rather than traditional instruction. Experiential learning aims to increase knowledge, develop skills, and clarify values through hands-on experiences supported by reflection. It involves carefully chosen experiences that require students to take initiative, make decisions, and be accountable. The teacher takes a less central role, instead identifying engaging experiences for students to commit to and explaining the purpose of experiential learning. Students are involved in practical, social, and personal problems, with freedom allowed as long as they progress in learning and are open to change through self-evaluation.
What is Experiential Learning?
Experiential learning requires time and effort from teachers, but it greatly benefits students, especially those who are struggling. Read this slideshare for examples of experiential learning activities and more.
Experiential Learning - An Effective Learning Method
Experiential Learning is a process of acquiring skills and expertise by doing things and individuals learning from their experiences and mistakes.
Experiential Learning & Reflection
We are students in our 2nd year of a BA (Hons) Professional Studies in Education. As a class we were asked to act as a 'community of practice' to explore different teaching and learning theories, the result was this presentation. Thank you Ann for inspiring us and getting us started.
Experiential Learning Presentation
This document discusses experiential learning and its application in the 21st century classroom. It outlines Carl Rogers' distinction between cognitive and experiential learning, with experiential learning involving applying knowledge through doing. The principles of experiential learning are described, including that learning occurs through relevance, self-organization, and being non-threatening. An experiential learning cycle is presented involving planning, doing, and reviewing. The role of the teacher as a facilitator is explored, and considerations for a student-centered, experiential curriculum are provided.
Games in teaching english
The document discusses using games to teach English. It notes that games help make language meaningful and engaging. Games are prevalent in children's lives through video games and sports. Using games in the classroom is an efficient way to teach English and develop students' social and language skills. Some example games that teach different skills are described, such as concentration for reading and phrase ball for speaking. The document emphasizes that games motivate students and prepare them for life.
Vygotsky\'s Theory of Cognitive Development
Lev Vygotsky believed that cognitive development is primarily shaped by social and cultural factors. He rejected the idea of fixed developmental stages and instead focused on the mechanisms that drive development. Vygotsky argued that higher mental functions originate through social interactions and language use before becoming internalized. A key concept is the Zone of Proximal Development, which represents the gap between what a child can do independently and what they can do with guidance. Within the ZPD, instruction can promote cognitive growth.
Vygotsky socio cultural theory
Lev Vygotsky was a Russian psychologist known for his socio-cultural theory of cognitive development. The theory emphasizes how social interaction and culture impact cognitive development, with two main principles being the more knowledgeable other and the zone of proximal development. Vygotsky believed that learning occurs through social interaction and language plays a central role in mental development.
Concepts in Outdoor Education - Lect 4 - state of environment
1. The document discusses three main educational ideologies: vocational, liberal, and socially critical.
2. It contrasts the aims and methods of outdoor recreation versus critical outdoor education, noting that the former focuses on competence and escape while the latter emphasizes understanding human/nature relationships and environmental responsibility.
3. The document argues that we have become disconnected from the natural world and examines ideas like biophilia hypothesis and ecological footprint to suggest that reconnecting with nature is important for well-being and sustainability.
Week two - Leadership and facilitation in outdoor education expeditions
This document discusses leadership and facilitation in the context of an outdoor expeditioning course. It outlines key competencies of outdoor leaders, including skill, attitude, knowledge, behavior, confidence and experience. It also describes different leadership styles - autocratic, democratic, and abdicratic. The document then discusses the evolution of facilitation and how the expedition has been framed to focus on self-development, leadership, community development, and connections with nature. Educational goals are also outlined relating to self-goals, leadership development, and human/nature relationships. Participants are asked to choose a research topic on the alpine environment and facilitate delivering that information to the group during the expedition. Logistical details like meal planning and route cards are also discussed
Lect 3 Educational ideology in Outdoor Education
What role education takes is determined by the underlying educational ideology. Here we explore two underlying ideologies of outdoor environmental education.
Vygotsky Theory
Lev Vygotsky was a Russian psychologist who developed the sociocultural theory of cognitive development, which emphasizes how social interaction and culture impact cognitive development. He believed that community plays a central role in the process of "making meaning." A key concept is the Zone of Proximal Development, which is a child's potential development when aided by a more knowledgeable other such as a teacher or peer. Vygotsky argued that optimal learning occurs in the Zone of Proximal Development through guided collaboration with others.
Spaces for Under 5s
The document discusses important considerations for designing early childhood education spaces and room layouts. It emphasizes that:
1) A well-designed space can greatly influence children's development, engagement, security, and care. The layout should guide and inspire children's behavior.
2) Key aspects of a good space include predictability, clear paths, well-defined boundaries, freedom to explore, privacy, variety, flexibility, appropriate stimulation, and a supportive environment.
3) When planning activity areas, factors like location, boundaries, surfaces, storage, and mood should be considered to best support children's discovery and self-directed learning.
Outdoor Lessons, Plan for Success: Teaching and Learning Outdoors
Taking learning outdoors can transform lessons and stimulate learning. Teachers should plan activities that are fun and engaging to keep students focused. It is important to prepare for outdoor lessons by checking the space, gathering materials, and having backup plans. While outdoors, teachers should define boundaries, give students specific roles, and bring the group back together regularly to refocus. With preparation and clear expectations, outdoor lessons can help students learn in new ways.
Dublin literacy
Wonderopolis is a website developed by the National Center for Family Literacy to nurture children's natural curiosity and wonder. It provides high-quality informational texts on a wide range of topics to enhance reading, writing, science, social studies, and overall learning. Teachers can use Wonderopolis in the classroom to build background knowledge, develop vocabulary, determine importance in texts, and support writing and science lessons. It also helps cultivate wonder, inquiry and curiosity in students.
Essential questions
This document provides a summary of several resources on essential questions. The summaries highlight that essential questions engage student imagination, help make connections between concepts, and require deeper investigation beyond single answers. However, the documents also reveal that essential questions are sometimes harder to write for science subjects compared to other disciplines. Overall, the resources emphasize that essential questions promote deeper learning when they encourage students to ask their own questions and work collaboratively to find multiple perspectives on a topic.

Active questioning in science
This document discusses active questioning techniques in science teaching. It emphasizes that science is built on asking questions to make observations, test predictions, and understand phenomena. Engaging students involves hands-on investigation of puzzles they can explore. Effective questioning must be planned, using open-ended questions and grouping students to discuss. A variety of active strategies keep students motivated. The key is making the most of opportunities in science for developing students' social, cultural, moral growth and literacy/math skills. Teachers should share good questioning practices within the science department.

Environment: Designing and
Organizing
Just like adults, infant and toddlers get frustrated when they cannot easily
move through an environment, or find what they need. It is our job as
caregivers to make sure the classroom is thoughtfully designed and
materials for play are well organized. This lesson highlights how to design
your room for group activities, privacy, storage and display, with attention to
all learners, including the adults. It provides an introduction to design
elements that promote a sense of comfort and invite exploration and
engagement. This lesson also examines how to organize materials for
independence, easy use and learning.
Objectives:
Distinguish between spaces for group experiences, privacy, storage,
and display.
Identify characteristics of a well-designed indoor learning environment.
Learn ways to arrange an indoor learning environment to promote
infant and toddler growth and development.

What is Your Perspective?
Infant and toddler caregivers make many decisions each day: which books
to read, what questions to ask a toddler’s family, which experiences to offer,
which materials to place where, etc. In many instances, these decisions are
the result of careful advanced consideration, in addition to a personal
understanding of how an infant and toddler learning environment should be,
feel and look.
Infants and toddlers, like most of us, are drawn to inviting and engaging
environments. Thinking about the ways to create a safe, flexible, and playful
indoor learning environment requires planning and exploring ideas from
multiple perspectives.
Arranging the Indoor Learning Environment
The space and furnishings should come together to create an indoor
learning environment that is tailored to meet the needs of developing
infants and toddlers. They need close supervision, positive guidance and
stimulating experiences during this period of rapid growth.
When considering the physical space of play areas, it is important to create
a space that is not too open or too crowded. Young infants need protected
areas with enough room to practice their growing abilities and movements,
such as rolling over and crawling. Mobile infants and toddlers need space as
they explore and learn to crawl, walk, dance, jump and build with blocks.
Space is important for both active and quiet play. Well-designed areas
provide both physical boundaries and visual cues that support individual
and peer play.

What is Your Perspective?
Infant and toddler caregivers make many decisions each day: which books
to read, what questions to ask a toddler’s family, which experiences to offer,
which materials to place where, etc. In many instances, these decisions are
the result of careful advanced consideration, in addition to a personal
understanding of how an infant and toddler learning environment should be,
feel and look.
Infants and toddlers, like most of us, are drawn to inviting and engaging
environments. Thinking about the ways to create a safe, flexible, and playful
indoor learning environment requires planning and exploring ideas from
multiple perspectives.
Arranging the Indoor Learning Environment
The space and furnishings should come together to create an indoor
learning environment that is tailored to meet the needs of developing
infants and toddlers. They need close supervision, positive guidance and
stimulating experiences during this period of rapid growth.
When considering the physical space of play areas, it is important to create
a space that is not too open or too crowded. Young infants need protected
areas with enough room to practice their growing abilities and movements,
such as rolling over and crawling. Mobile infants and toddlers need space as
they explore and learn to crawl, walk, dance, jump and build with blocks.
Space is important for both active and quiet play. Well-designed areas
provide both physical boundaries and visual cues that support individual
and peer play.
Care.
