    Observation: Rise Program Physical Setting Rise is a beautiful facility. All of the windows looking into the classrooms and looking outside are my favorite because they provide light, openness, and a sense of connection throughout the whole building. The commons is also a great area. It is large and open for all of the kids to spread out and explore their surroundings, while engaging in gross motor activities, such as going down a slide, riding a tricycle, or jumping on a trampoline.…

    Children are like sponges, they learn something new every day. They imitate and learn the things that adults and other peers around them do. This is the reason why preschools are part of the social construction of gender in our society. In Martin’s reading (2014), he stated that gendering of children’s bodies is part of the “hidden curriculum” of schools. Schools socialize children to be the way society want them to behave; boys are tough and girls are fragile.…

    How language and literacy develops has long been a matter of theoretical debate, where numerous academics have been unable to decide on a single theory which can explain the most effective method of learning which can have the greatest effect on the cognitive development of an individual. B.F. Skinner’s (1957) theory of behaviourism and Lev Vygotsky’s (1978) Social Interactionist theory are two such learning models, each with their own distinct differences and implications when applied within an early childhood setting. This essay will focus on comparing these two theories through an analysis of each method’s key characteristics, comparable features and their educational implications within a teaching environment. This discussion will be utilised…

The teacher used many visual aids, and example would be when she asked the students to draw a pig. She displayed a pig on the board that was drawn by a guest speaker, and the students were asked to replicate the drawing. The teacher I observed also used games to enhance the student’s learning.…
