and engage in various types of play. Mackenzie could improve and learn to engage in more associative play where she is beginning to show an interest in her peers to explore an activity with them and eventually participate in a cooperative play. Associative play and cooperative play is essential as Mackenzie’s play will shift from playing alone to taking an interest in other players and use social skills to engage with their peers and educators in an activity or experience (Rymanowicz 2015, p. 1). Furthermore, cooperative play supports children to develop the disposition of cooperation, to work with their peers by establishing rules and roles, and develop problem-solving skills (DEEWR 2009, p. 34; Rymanowicz 2015, p. 1).

An integrated approach was planned because Arthur et al. (2018, p. 337) suggest that an educator should not be restricted to use one teaching approach but should be able to change roles of leading children’s learning, facilitator and an observer to children’s learning. I will also be using the low interaction strategy of facilitating children’s learning, Mac Naughton and Williams 2009 (cited in Arthur et al. 339) discusses that a facilitator makes children’s learning easier by interacting with children through non-verbal or verbal modes of communication and providing materials and a supportive learning …show more content…

“Through documentation the teacher can make it possible for others to “see” the learning that takes place when developmentally appropriate teaching occurs. ”(Helm, Beneke, & Steinheimer, 2007, p 8) Not only do others see the learning but this strategy offers teachers a basis for reflecting and fueling the students further into their questioning and analysis. Fyfe explains further that activities and plain time itself needs to be added into the daily schedule for these sparks of learning to be born and grow, “to formulate hypotheses” (Gandini & Kiminsky, 2004, p 7) With this addition to the teachers and students moment of space, there must be a new attention to planning and organization in lessons and prospected outcomes. Flexibility must be apparent to give the child room to grow intellectually. “It requires a search for a new pattern of organization and communication with fellow teachers, children, and parents.”

For family involvement, I have designed a schedule where each parent makes at least two visits to interact with the children in the classroom. I have also enlightened parents on the need for interacting with children at home and how they need to do so to help with their development. I have implemented community based care by having other teachers in other classes involved with the children I teach and vice-versa. 7.

Pedagogy and the curriculum content are normally determined by the teachers based on what they have observed of the children’s ‘needs’ when then determines the children development stage, their strengths, weaknesses, and their interests.

Implicit in this combination is also a desire to share, if not always in the play itself, then in recounting the playful activity to another later. When these components unite in any given activity, there is a “for itself” quality that requires no outside justification and expects none. The evidence for this is in the complete satisfaction one feels, whether child or adult, during and after. By contrast, imagine any activity billed or promoted as play, but which has any of the above qualities missing. Then what you have may be extolled or

I want my students to be curious, and I find that play is a tool that allows the students to explore themselves. In a world with so much information and so many opportunities, a cookie-cutter, universal standard for what a child should know does not provide them the opportunity to find their own path. Evaluating based upon a test score does not do the child justice in terms of their own individuality. Play is an evaluative method that both offers a wider wealth of information about a child, and has a healthier impact on their

Even if you’re not involved in their play it offers a sense of reassurance to children. You can also support a play based approach to learning by encouraging children to play with things they may not have played with before e.g playing with the resource yourself alongside the child. If a child sees what you can do with the resource then they are more likely to eventually participate along side you, copying what you are doing. 4.3 Evaluate different materials and equipment to support play based learning opportunities for children in their early years
