The correlation between learning and having fun
Having a progressive curriculum is important, and this article explains why.
Ensuring that children learn while they are in school, and retaining what they learn, are two of the biggest concerns parents have. After all, apart from getting their money’s worth, they want their children to have a positive experience and get quality education. This can be challenging for most schools, as children have different paces when it comes to learning – some learn faster than others – and they have different responses to information presented to them. Some children may take like fish to water to what is being taught, while some may need a little more time, or a little more explanation, before they can grasp what is being taught.
This doesn’t mean that children who need more time or in-depth explanation are worse than fast learners. Given this, it may be extra difficult for teachers to ensure that their students learn at a relatively similar pace so that no one gets left behind and no one gets bored.
This is where learning delivery techniques come in handy, and among the most basic ways to ensure that students, regardless of their learning pace, are more engaged and retain information easily, is to make learning fun. This means that teachers should not confine their lessons within the four walls of their classrooms. They have to think outside the box and come up with ways to make sure that their students are enjoying their lessons all the time. The usual class lectures can be boring and frankly, can cause students to have a bad case of information overload, so it becomes counterproductive and they really do not retain any of the information that is given to them. Lessons must be delivered in a way that is easy for the students to understand and remember, and in a way that is lively and not boring so that teachers have their full attention at all times.
There are many ways to keep learning fun – teachers can do fun activities like debates and speech choir to help harness their reasoning and communication skills. They can go on field trips to give students a firsthand look at historical artifacts and both natural and man-made resources. They can incorporate music and songs to make difficult information easier to absorb and remember. They can use visual aids to help students have a better visualization of what is being taught. They can incorporate educational games to foster healthy competition among students, instill sportsmanship, and at the same time deliver the lessons in a fun way.
