This document discusses key concepts relating to how children learn. It addresses questions like how learning takes place, how we know it's occurring, and the adult's role. It examines perspectives from theorists like Piaget and Vygotsky that emphasize the social and environmental influences on learning. Specific characteristics of effective learning are explored, like playing, exploring, and thinking critically. The document also considers contemporary research on the four ways learning occurs: statistical learning, analogy, imitation, and causal learning. Overall it emphasizes that learning is unique to each individual based on their genetics and experiences, and the environment and relationships are crucial facilitators.

First thoughts on Learning and Teaching EV681: Pedagogy, Principles and Practice in Early Education EV682: Contemporary issues in Teaching and Learning

2

• How do children learn? • How do we know learning is taking place? • What is the adult role in learning?

3

When does learning begin?

4

What helps you learn?

5

Characteristics of effective learning EYFS (EE 2012) Development Matters - non statutory guidance Learning behaviours • Playing and exploring-engagement – finding out and exploring – Using what they know in their play – being willing to have a go • Active learning – motivation – Being involved and concentrating – Keeping on trying – Enjoying achieving what they set out to do • Creating and thinking critically – thinking – Having their own ideas – Making links – Choosing ways to do things

6

Assessment of learning • Learning to be learners • Dispositions to learning - Well being and involvement • Development : cognitive, physical, social and emotional

7

Hello Jamie Watch the clip, Note down - What learning is taking place? - any characteristics of effective learning ? - How was this learning facilitated?

8

What she did • Exploring/experimenting/trying out/testing • Looking /touching/tasting/listening- multisensory • Motor control: manipulating, moving, holding, passing, dropping, reaching, shaking • Comparing/classifying/making connections • Building on what she knows? • Persevering/persistence • Making decisions/choices • Concentrating • Communicating/listening/responding/asking

9

Goswami 2015 Current research from Neuroscience has highlighted that learning takes place in four ways; 1. Statistical learning- visual, auditory (Piaget calls sensory learning) Prototype/schema 2. Analogy – comparisons with other types for similarities and differences (Piaget: accommodation and assimilation- schema development) 3. Imitation – watching and repeating what others do (social learning theory) 4. Causal – problem solving

10

Connectionist • All four are important for learning - how they interact with each other varies from person to person (genetics, experience) • Learning is unique to each individual

11

Child brain Adult brain

12

How was Jamie’s learning and development facilitated? • Time • Space • Resources • Knowledge of Jamie and stage of development • Planning for what comes next • Responsive, • Positive interactions

13

Piaget and Vygotsky • The environment and the relationships within them are key to children’s learning and development

14

How are you going to grow learning in the children you will teach?

15

Goswami (2015) p24-25 • 1. Learning is socially mediated • 2. Learning relies on multi-sensory networks across the brain (not VAK) • 3. knowledge gained through active experience • 4. children think in the same way as adults • 5. Language is crucial for learning • 6. Imaginative/role play supports thinking, reasoning and understanding • 7. all children learn differently – no one size fits all

16

First thoughts on Pedagogy • What did you notice? • What are the children learning? • What similarities and differences do you see between the sequences? • What are the teachers’ roles here? Is this teaching?

17

EV681- before next session 1. Set up your word press blog 2. Read ‘Pedagogy the silent partner’ 3. Blog post 1* responses to first lecture on teaching and learning 4. Watch video on supporting positive behaviours in early years

18

To conclude EV682 Follow up from today: • Set up your wordpress blogs • Blog post 1* and responses to First thoughts on teaching and learning
