Mid Term Assignment

1. With reference to the various approaches to ECE select any two which you
think are most appropriate for young learners. Support your answer with
relevant explanation. (answer in approx. 350 – 400 words)

Answer –

1. The first approach to ECE is Maria Montessori -

Maria Montessori believed that that learning is a natural and self-directed


process. Her observation how children learn and they build themselves from their
environment. She found how children’s effortlessly absorb knowledge from their
surroundings and that became the Montessori Method of education.

Montessori teaching method is very specific. The teachers must be sure that
every individual engage themselves in every activities. Montessori provides
children with the opportunity to grow into independent and self-sufficient
individuals.

Montessori provides the environment where everything has a fixed place.


Children are like this type of environment because this gives them a sense of
security and safety. Everything in the classroom is within reach of the child.

Montessori program are allowed to explore activities and concepts at their own
pace. This naturally encourages children to try more challenging areas, where
their learning experience extent.

Since children are allowed to choose their activities and work at them on their
own terms, creativity in the classroom is encouraged. Children work at tasks for
the joy of the work, rather than the end result, which allows them to focus more
on process than result
1. The second approach to ECE is Friedrich Froebel -

Friedrich Froebel observes that play is the natural instinct of the children and it
has been effectively used for teaching. Froebel was the father of Kindergarten
system that system encourages fun and play based learning. He believes in
learning through activity.

Froebel approach to education as self-activity. This allows the child to do their


own interests things and freely explore them. Teachers need to be guide rather
than lecturer. Learning through activity is the most effective way of teaching
because young children cannot concentrate on a particular object or thing for a
long time but can engage in particular activity of their interest hence teaching and
making them learn through activity will best for young children.

Kindergarten activities included games, songs and stories. This activity helps the
child to develop in sensory, physical development and socialization. Learning from
games, singing songs help to encourage child to interact with others confidently
and gives the pleasure of singing and the concept of gifts is very fun and natural
way to teach shapes colors and various other concept to children without giving
them lecture and at the same time these learning styles never demotivates the
children from learning.

2. Discuss whether there is any specific rule for managing a class of learners
aged between 4 years to 5 years. Give reasons for your answer or qualify
with examples. (250 to 300 words)
Answer –

Classroom management is giving an environment where students are free to


explore and are willing to learn. In that environment student should be taught but
at the same time student should follow the standard rules. Students will be ready
to learn if they know what the classroom rules are and what the consequences
are for breaking those rules. Everyone makes mistakes and students should
realize that.

Share the rules with your students on the first day of school. In elementary
school, many teachers have the class help establish the rules, but preschool
students may be too young for this. They may not have enough classroom
experience too successfully to this. Post the rules in the classroom and any other
rooms you use regularly. This will allow you to reference them when necessary.
Be sure the students know what the consequences are when rules are broken.

Here's my classroom rules :


1. Don't talk or make noise when the teacher is talking.
2. Don’t talk when a student is asking or answering a question.
