Let’s begin with one simple question, “What do you think a kid would prefer-studying or playing?” If I were the kid, I’d prefer the latter without doubt. Recently, more and more teaching techniques are introduced, the old curriculum has been revised over and over again in order to find, let’s say the most appropriate method that meets the thirst of fun learning atmosphere that could lead to a good academic achievement at the same time.
I am not referring to a certain disciplines here as I try to see the teaching itself as a whole context, not as parts which has different content in it. Every educator who educates any subject matter to young learners should have the same point of view that those children are supposed to feel fun in the classroom, no matter what class they are in. An acquaintance of mine once said that children are supposed to play, and to learn is not actually the main subject of their worlds. I couldn’t agree more to the idea as I remember as a kid I was one who loved going to school just to meet my friends and play with them.
Some parents expect their children to achieve more than they can manage to achieve. They insist on their children joining a bunch of courses which they believe would increase their skill-either academic or non academic, apart from the time they have to spend at school. What a heavy burden for a young person! As educators to those young learners, it would be wise to consider the fact I have mentioned. Try to provide a fun learning atmosphere is one of the expected attitudes. This is even kind of becoming a significant qualification we should meet nowadays.
Helping our pupils to achieve is of course necessary, but helping them to love and enjoy the process is even more necessary as once they do, they won’t stop doing it.
So start finding effective ways to arrange our pupils’ learning without eliminating the element of fun. They are just kids after all. Good luck!
