We are all embarking on a new adventure together as a family. Learning at home might seem time-consuming, but let’s put it into perspective.
Children spend only a fifth of their waking hours at school. The rest is spent with family, friends, and their surroundings outside the classroom. This extra time is a golden opportunity for parents and caregivers to enrich their children’s learning experiences and complement formal education.
As a parent, engaging your children in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) activities can be both fun and educational. The early years are a crucial period for developing cognitive, motor, and social skills, and incorporating play-based learning can make a significant difference.
Educational paradigms are continually evolving, play-based learning is gaining significant traction. The "Play, Learn & Create with Edx Education" podcast, hosted by Heather Welch, delves into the intricacies and benefits of this innovative approach to education.
Understanding Play-Based Learning
Play-based learning is a pedagogical approach that uses play as the primary mode of learning. This method is grounded in the understanding that children learn best when they are engaged, curious, and motivated. The "Play, Learn & Create with Edx Education" podcast emphasises the importance of this approach by discussing various aspects such as its benefits, different stages, and how it supports overall development in children.
