Abstract | Open education practices are illustrated in this paper in which children's natural interest in the outdoor world is used to outline learning activities which might result from a short nature walk. The teachers' objective is to help the child learn strategies and skills which will enable him to acquire, sort, store and use information, in contrast to learning a body of facts. The paper argues that teachers should encourage the child through dialogue and discussion, leading him to a level of interest which will then sustain self-directed activity. Specifically discussed are ways to teach math concepts, science, language arts, and art using various natural materials such as stones, sticks, leaves and flowers. (NH) |
