Question

The kindergarten teachers say, "We try to help children learn by using their strengths and preferences. We try to find out at which stage of development is each child and then get them personally involved in their own education as soon as possible." This classroom follows ________ practices.

Answer 1

This kindergarten classroom follows student-centered practices.

Step-by-step explanation:

Student-centered learning focuses on the talents and interests of the student more than made-to-order curriculums. The students tend to choose their own tasks and to work at their own pace. Two well-known approaches to student-centered learning are the Montessori and Waldorf systems. Both these systems let children pursue their own interests with an emphasis on practical skills. They teach the whole student and try to instill in them important values. Both of these programs try to limit student exposure to technology. In terms of the differences between these two well-known student-centered approaches, Montessori schools tend to focus more on core academics and there is less play focus in their curriculum. They are also more accepting of technology than the Waldorf system. The Waldorf system allows for lots of play and imaginative work.
