When students feel safe and comfortable in their learning environment, they will be willing to give their opinions and take risks when it comes to problem solving. I feel that this type of educational practice will enhance the child's development because learning will become meaningful to them. I do not believe that children are passive creatures placed into the world. Children actively influence their environment while their environment influencies them. To understand how a child develops one must look carefully at his or her environment and the interaction that occurs within their environment.
Human beings are social creatures.
I believe that the purpose of an educator is to help children develop to their fullest potential within their cultural setting. Children construct their own knowledge by actively participating in their learning. Educators and administrators need to take the time to understand the risks and opportunities that affect a child's development. This knowledge will provide educators with information to create strategies to help children develop and learn. Learning Successful Teaching Today.
