Learning dispositions, such as curiosity, persistence, and creativity, are crucial for school readiness and long-term academic success (Katz, 1993). Children who develop positive learning dispositions are more likely to:
Engage actively in learning experiences
Persist in the face of challenges
Apply their knowledge and skills in new situations
By focusing on nurturing learning dispositions alongside academic skills, early years professionals can help children develop the foundational attitudes and habits needed for success in school and beyond (Carr & Lee, 2012).
