12 PRINCIPLES ON HOW CHILDREN LEARN1.Active Involvement
Learning requires the active, constructive involvement of the learner
In the classroom*Avoid situations where the students are
passive listeners for long periods of time*Provide students with hands-on activities,
such as experiments, observations, projects
*Encourage participation in classroom discussions and other collaborative activities
![Page 21: How children learn](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/556170e1d8b42aac268b45f4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
2. Social ParticipationLearning is primarily a social activity and participation in the social life of the school is central for learning to occur.
In the Classroom*Assign students to work in groups and assume
the role of a coach who provides guidance and support to the groups.*Link the school to the community at large
![Page 22: How children learn](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/556170e1d8b42aac268b45f4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
3. Meaningful ActivitiesPeople learn best when they participate in activities that are perceived to be useful in
real life and are culturally relevant.In the Classroom*Oral language and communication skills can be
improved by letting students participate in debates.*Writing skills can be improved by letting students be involved in news writing
![Page 23: How children learn](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/556170e1d8b42aac268b45f4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
4. Relating new information to prior knowledgeNew knowledge is constructed on the basis of
what is already understood and believedIn the classroom*Teachers need to investigate students’ prior
knowledge in detail so that false beliefs and misconceptions can be identified.
![Page 24: How children learn](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/556170e1d8b42aac268b45f4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
5. Being StrategicPeople learn by employing effective and
flexible strategies that help them to understand, reason, memorize and solve problemsIn the classroom*Teachers should ensure that students learn to use strategies on their own.
![Page 25: How children learn](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/556170e1d8b42aac268b45f4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
6. Engaging in self-regulation and being reflective
Learners must know how to plan and monitor their learning, how to set their own learning goals and how to correct errorsIn the classroom*Teachers can help students become self-
regulated and reflective by providing opportunities:
--To check their thinking and ask themselves questions about their understanding(Why am I
doing what I am doing?, How well am I doing ?, What remains to be done?)
![Page 26: How children learn](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/556170e1d8b42aac268b45f4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
7. Restructuring prior knowledgeSometimes prior knowledge can stand in the way
of learning something new. Students must learn how to solve internal inconsistencies and restructure existing conceptions when necessary.
In the classroom*Teachers need to be aware that students have prior beliefs and incomplete understandings that
can conflict with what is being taught at school.*It is important to create the circumstances where
alternative beliefs and explanations can be externalized and expressed.
![Page 27: How children learn](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/556170e1d8b42aac268b45f4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
8. Aiming towards understanding rather than memorizationLearning is better when material is organized around general principles and explanations, rather than when it is based on memorization of isolated facts and procedures.
In the classroom*Ask students to explain a concept in their own
words*Show students how to provide examples that
illustrate how a principle applies or how a law works
![Page 28: How children learn](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/556170e1d8b42aac268b45f4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
9. Helping students learn to transferLearning becomes more meaningful when the lessons are applied to real-life situations
In the classroom*Insisting on mastery of subject matter*Applying what has been learned in one
subject-matter area to other areas to which it may be related
![Page 29: How children learn](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/556170e1d8b42aac268b45f4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
10. Taking time to practiceLearning is a complex cognitive activity that
cannot be rushed. It requires considerable time and periods of practice to start building expertise in an areaIn the classroom*Increase the amount of time students spend on learning in the classroom*Do not try to cover too many topics at once . Give
students time to understand the new information*Be in contact with parents so that they can learn to provide richer educational experiences for their children.

11. Developmental and individual differencesChildren learn best when their individual differences are taken into consideration
In the classroom*Learn how to assess children’s knowledge, strategies and modes of learning adequately.*Create connections to the real world by introducing problems and materials drawn from everyday situations
![Page 31: How children learn](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/556170e1d8b42aac268b45f4/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
12. Creating motivated learnersLearning is critically influenced by learner motivation. Teachers can help students become more motivated learners by their behavior and the statements they make.
In the classroom*Teachers must use encouraging statements that
reflect an honest evaluation of learner performance*Recognize student accomplishments.*Refrain from grouping students according to their
ability*Provide cooperation rather than competition

Understanding how students learn starts by understanding how you as a teacher learn.
It is best achieved when insights gained from understanding psychological principles are valued and put into the teaching practice.

UNDERSTANDING LEARNING STYLE WILL HELP YOU...
Determine why you learn the way you do. A good teacher knows his/her own strengths and weaknesses, as well as the basic understanding of the way students prefer to learn.
![Page 39: How children learn](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/556170e1d8b42aac268b45f4/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Recognize how personality type affects one’s teaching style.
It is easy to teach students when their preferred learning styles are addressed.

Develop varied strategies to help students with different learning styles.
Provide the most productive learning environment possible.

APPLICATION
Working by learning team, brainstorm on teaching practices/strategies to ensure positive learning environment and address the different learning styles of learners.
Write these strategies on manila paper to be posted on the board.
Ask a representative from the group to read the output.
