Introduction The Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education has been called “arguably, the most successful, most extensive and most sustained example of radical or progressive education that has ever been” (Moss, 2016, p. 167). Drawing inspiration from theorists such as Montessori, Dewey, and Piaget, Loris Malaguzzi created a social constructivist approach, which envisioned learning as an active process. Under Reggio Emilia, children are seen as unique and capable individuals who…

The Direct Instruction Approach video shows instruction in action inside the classroom setting to teach words and is fast paced and fluid. The students verbally respond collectively and are individually checked occasionally by the teacher to demonstrate their knowledge. The teacher quickly corrects any mistakes and moves on with the corrections. This repetition is attributed to the success of the approach by a teacher. The video depicts a word being read at prompt of teacher, spelled out, and…

negotiation skills increase and their sense of agency develop through our play based programs. My centre bases its philosophy on the Reggio Emilia approach. This approach ties in extremely well with the importance of play as it views children as competent leaders and initiators interacting with their environment (Garrett, 2017). Using this approach allows me to follow the children’s interests, follow their lead and let them make decisions in their learning. Currently I have a group of children…

children should have the same equipment and resources as us but in child sized. We see this in settings every day for example child sized tables and chairs. Montessori’s approach is well respected, with lots of setting in the UK following this approach, however there are theories that disagree with her and have a different style of approach too. Montessori’s theory was/is similar to other international approaches too. One of the theorists that is similar is forest schools. Both these approaches…

words). The Direct Instruction Approach that was shown in this video emphasizes rote learning, repetition, and the entire class participating. As a teacher would tap on a board or table, the entire classroom of students would read out loud what the teacher was pointing at. Because of this repetition, children learn from their peers, especially when it comes to sounding out words and sentences. The teachers interviewed were specifically trained for this approach, and explained to the viewers…

If I would be a head teacher in a preschool then I would like the Emergent curriculum. . I would like the Reggio Emilia approach for my curriculum, because their approach is emerging from the children’s interest. Their philosophy is all about observing what children already know and what could challenge them. When the curriculum will be children based then it will be more creative and it will develop the children’s self-esteem. The most important preschool curriculum is when it comes from the…

Children often make environments amongst the classroom what they desire that area to be for. Even though our program and curriculum state that an area is desired for a particular activity, children will make use of what they can find. A Reggio Emilia approach advocates that teachers pay close attention to the myriad of ways that space can be made to “speak” and invite interaction (Cadwell, 2003; Fraser, 2006), such as positioning small mirrors around the classroom or placing easels close to…

Tonio Kroger by Thomas Mann (1903) include fundamental modernist characteristics, such as a fragmented structure, free indirect discourse and an epiphany. These literary techniques help shape the struggle both authors present between the inner world of the imagination and the outer world of social life. Narrative control identifies the focus of subjective perspective through free indirect thought. Whilst the representation of the imagination highlights the interest of the authors to protect the…
