Moving towards a more Child-Centric classroom

6/7/2014

Picture
It is intriguing how traditional classrooms are designed. The teacher seems to be the center of the universe. She can view everyone and all the children can look and receive learning from her. It comes from a few basic assumptions. Firstly, that the teacher is the only one who can contribute to the learning process. It inhibits participative and peer learning, for what learning do children have to offer to their peers? It is amazing how much have we done in our system to ensure there is no collaboration in learning; we deny any opportunity to let children learn for themselves or from each other. There is so space for curiosity, applying learning, learning from the thoughts and ideas of each other.

But that was what it used to be. We need not follow the same tradition because it exists.

How might we create our classroom that revolves around the learning of the child and not the knowledge bank of the teacher? A classroom that helps children have a more participatory, fun and exploratory approach to learning. How might we create a classroom that leaves children excited about concepts than bored of them?

Classroom is not the Teacher’s den. It should be the Child’s Treasure Island. It is high time we build a learning space for children than the teacher. It is high time we opt for learning over convenience.

This is why we at Sparkling Mindz continually look at making spaces, curriculum and delivery child centric. We truly believe that the child can be trusted with their learning. We constantly work on giving them an environment that develops their natural curiosity than the one that shuns it.
