Today's classroom management tips are focused on social interaction. Russian psychologist Lev Vygostsky emphasized the importance of social interactions in learning. Many of his theories were based on the idea that knowledge is co-constructed through shared activities.
Tip # 14- Students learn through structured experiences, especially divergent thinking, cooperation, and facing and meeting challenges. These experiences are most effective for young children.
Tip # 15- A great way to co-construct ideas is through the practice of Think, Pair, Share. The concept of Think, Pair, Share can be explained as follows: 1. We acquire an idea. 2. We are then placed in groups to share those said ideas and by sharing our findings we enhance each other's learning.
Tip # 16- Play-based learning is key in our classrooms. Playing is serious business. so much learning takes place when children play. Here is a great article on the importance of play in cognitive development https://www.epl.ca/blogs/post/importance-of-play-for-kids/
