In school, effective student learning involves active engagement through hands-on activities, visual aids, and age-appropriate materials. As an educator, I play a pivotal role in creating a positive and nurturing environment. I want my students to benefit from structured routines, clear instructions, and gradual skill-building. I believe that social interaction, curiosity, and exploration should be encouraged to foster effective learning. Children learn best when they engage in a variety of interactions, explorations, and sensory experiences. Furthermore, play, both scheduled and unstructured, is a vital development tool for them as they learn through imitating and observing peers/adults. 

In addition, I believe that practical exercises, storytelling, and creating a welcoming environment allow all children to inquire and experiment. Children are unbiased, inquisitive beings. Their nature is characterized by quick development, a desire for knowledge, and emotional sensitivity. They are naturally innocent and creative, but they also need instruction and nurturing to grow into well-rounded people. Each child learns in a unique way, so it is crucial for us as educators to be able to meet each student's needs. A child's learning experience can be maximized by adjusting to different learning styles, being patient, and putting emphasis on encouraging intrinsic motivation, which enables them to lay a solid basis for lifelong learning. 

In the textbook, Yardsticks by Chip Wood, the nature of children is depicted as a dynamic and evolving journey of growth. Wood emphasizes that children progress through distinct developmental stages, each with its unique characteristics and needs. These stages encompass emotional, social, and cognitive dimensions, impacting their behavior, learning styles, and relationships. Children are seen as curious, resilient, and inherently eager to learn. Recognizing their developmental stages helps educators and caregivers better understand and support their evolving needs and abilities, fostering healthy development and academic success while respecting their individuality and unique journeys.
