LEARNING CAMPS- LEARNING WITHOUT FEAR
Learning without fear is the best way to life long learning. When children are a part of a competitive and judgemental typical classroom scenario, the outcomes manifest in only the few front benchers. Maybe the mediocre ones get by too, but not with conceptual foundations. A good non-threatening way to promote learning and achieve outcomes is through activities. Group activities are fun, and learning is forever.
With all the above in mind a small step towards this direction was taken by weCan Learning Resource Institute where a 3 -day intensive learning camp (English) has been designed and is being conducted in schools. The focus is to develop core competencies required for language acquisition and Mathematical concepts. The Camps demonstrate how this can lead to a substantial improvement in children’s performance, their self-confidence, self-worth and articulation skills.
The Camp Design:
The Camp demonstrates how English and Mathematics can be used in a non-threating manner through fun filled activities, using audio visual resource, songs, role play, dramatization and art & craft and all these can stimulate children to use it without fear or anxiety, as a means of communication.
Sample lessons can be taken from the textbooks to design fun activities and worksheets. There was also provision for creative work which can be linked to their lessons where children are encouraged to listen-speak-read-write the language and numbers. The use of multi-sensory channels of learning such as music, games, creative work makes it vibrant and helped to raise the motivation level of the children.
Some Activities Conducted:
Book Reading, Vocabulary and Word Association Games, Story Telling, Group work and making presentations, Silence Activity, Meditation, Word Association Game, Making the Word Wall
All the above, are incorporated in an age-appropriate manner in the Camp. It is a heartening experience to perceive the young learners’ enthusiasm, zeal and to top it all their excellent teamwork. Along with all these the young campers never forget to enjoy themselves to the fullest. If these strategies are meaningfully integrated with in regular classroom transactions, significant learning enhancement will be visible.
