Children Active Learning through Unstructured Play
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The Disposition of most adults to children playing is not encouraging due to the preconceived notion that children who play are often likely to be un-intelligent and hardly succeed in their academic pursuit. As a result, most parents hinder their children from playing, believing that it is an unprofitable venture. This popular notion on children’s playing triggers this study, to the extent that most parents as well as educational institutions for young children do not provide a conducive environment for them to play. This study is qualitatively designed; observation was used for data collection where the researchers watched some children aged 3 to 5 playing in their natural setting. In-depth analysis with the observation reveals that unstructured play could make young children learn through cooperation, gain knowledge and experience through imitation as well as gaining insight to new knowledge through trial and error. If the majority of parents, teachers and educators are aware of this, they could provide a comfortable environment for children to play in order to develop them physically, mentally and psychologically.
