Learning Through Play
Tuition: $10.50
Description:
During the early childhood years, children’s focus grows mentally, physically and emotionally. This growth is naturally accomplished through play. Unfortunately, time for play could be at risk in childcare facilities due to the growing pressure on academic initiatives and standards. However, time for play does not have to be reduced in order to fulfill academic requirements; research demonstrates that learning in early childhood is best accomplished through play. Play is beneficial for developmental growth.
This course defines the term play and discusses different types of play. It also discusses the various reasons why play is necessary for children and the roles teachers perform when promoting learning through play.

Reviews for this Online Course
- Liked the audio Posted by Bethany on 20th Jan 2015
Being able to listen to someone say the words as I read them helped me to remember the content. - Very informative Posted by Brittany on 26th Sep 2014
The training was very informative by giving many examples of how important it is that emergent, oral, phonological awareness is so important in the early years of a child.
I will use some of these techniques in my classroom throughout the year to improve how important our A,B, C ' s are and how we can implement daily into our daily routines. - Thank you for providing this course. Posted by Brittany on 26th Sep 2014
I learned a lot from this course, and I will implement this in my planning activities, understanding the meaning of Cooperative-play with peers of adults..Independent-play of an individual..Active-Physical play..Constructive-building or making things..Fantasy-pretend play..Rule-based-events that have rules...you hear this all the time, but sometimes we as teachers need to be reminded a lot more then usual to the meaning behind what we do with children everyday. This course was very informative about how to increase children's vocabulary daily throughout play, giving them open opportunities throughout the day to enhance and gain knowledge of how to be creative in their fantasy play. - Great Training! Posted by Hayley on 24th Jan 2014
I like the audio and the pictures to help with the reading of the material. It makes it easy to understand and remember key points. This is a topic that I strongly agree with. Even though academics are important I do feel that play is the foundation for learning later on in life. It's important for teachers to understand there are many different types of play that can also promote different kinds of learning while they are young.
