Children’s perspectives on play
|
Discover the importance of play and creativity in understanding children’s perspectives. Explore how children express their experiences of play in various contexts and how different environments influence their views. Gain insights into the socio-cultural understanding of children and the significance of valuing their perspectives.
In this free course, Children’s perspectives on play, you are asked to put yourself in the place of young children and to think about their view of play and their reasons for playing. When children have personal freedom to choose and make decisions about what and who they want to play with, as well as where they want to play, they are highly self-motivated and active in their engagements with everything around them. In this course you will think about how you listen to children’s perspectives, why it is important and also consider the choices children make about where they play and why.
