Enhancing Young Children’s Concept
Formation
.
MAGICAL
STATEMENTS
For the children, things are occurring and happening just for
them.
“It is the child that gives
meaning to the world and not vice versa.”
- Jean Piaget
Children cannot be dragged
to the developmental stages
Observations should be conducted with a purpose and brought together with discussions.
Allowing the children to draw what’s on their mind before seeing the actual material would
enhance their concept development.
Differences of opinion about
observations will stimulate interest
and promote further discussion.
Understanding can be developed by recording
information or progress through graphs, tables or poster boards.
