Download or read book Free to Learn written by Peter Gray and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading expert in childhood development makes the case for why self-directed learning -- "unschooling" -- is the best way to get kids to learn. In Free to Learn, developmental psychologist Peter Gray argues that in order to foster children who will thrive in today's constantly changing world, we must entrust them to steer their own learning and development. Drawing on evidence from anthropology, psychology, and history, he demonstrates that free play is the primary means by which children learn to control their lives, solve problems, get along with peers, and become emotionally resilient. A brave, counterintuitive proposal for freeing our children from the shackles of the curiosity-killing institution we call school, Free to Learn suggests that it's time to stop asking what's wrong with our children, and start asking what's wrong with the system. It shows how we can act—both as parents and as members of society—to improve children's lives and to promote their happiness and learning.

Download or read book Play World written by James E. Combs and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2000-09-30 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should we take the idea of play seriously? Since the publication of Huizinga's Homo Ludens in 1938, a provocative literature has developed in philosophy and social science that does. Combs argues that we should understand play both as a generic concept with considerable power to explain human activity, and as a contemporary procept that demystifies some of the puzzling trends and innovations emerging in the quickly developing new social world of the 21st century. Combs explores the thesis that play has a central role in our understanding of human activity and social and political organization in the new millennium. He argues that the human desire for play is strong and given the continuation of certain major historical innovations now shaping the world, it may well be that 21st-century people will increasingly exercise their desire for play and that the world will increasingly be organized around the principle and practice of play. It may now seem a truism that people prefer to have fun, but that has not always been the case. If, as Combs argues, the preference for fun is becoming central to human activity, we need to explore why that preference is becoming dominant and what kind of social organization and consequences such a change entails. A provocative look at social change in the 20th century that will be of interest to scholars, students, and researchers of sociology and anthropology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The key themes in play are explored through an A -- Z approach covering key concepts, theories / theorists, and figures.

Download or read book ForWordPlay written by Karolina Novitska and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My thesis research investigates how play can influence learning a foreign language and how the interactive medium can serve as a bridge between the actions of learning and playing. As children we learn our first language through a very natural, playful, and exploratory process in which all our surroundings serve as stimuli for this process. However, as adults, we typically learn a foreign language in a much more systematic and reflective manner, applying our existing life experiences to contextualize the new language. While the latter method can be valuable at advanced levels of language development, when we are ready to build and reflect upon our basic understanding of a foreign language, the difficult task of learning the primary building blocks of a new language can be more rewarding from a child's approach-- learning through experimentation and play. Playful, exploratory learning requires us to become active participants in the process rather than to passively receive information. Participatory learning can manifest itself in new media. Due to its modular, responsive and non-linear nature, new media allows content and curricula to be combined, remixed and customized in the most effective manner for each individual student. New media also allows infinite possibilities to surprise, engage minds, challenge perceptions, transcend time and geographic location, and to create a personal connection by appealing to our specific interests. I believe new media has a remarkable advantage to the analog world to provide an effective setting for these playful, exploratory learning experiences. As a case study for my research, I have developed a range of prototypical modules for an interactive language learning system. My objective is to foster continuous exploration and stimulate participatory learning, while attempting to replicate the subconscious and relatively effortless learning we experience as children acquiring our first language.
