Learning is a process of finding patterns that connect” (Bateson 1972).
If we believe this, we
must give our students a chance to play an active role in focusing the
direction of their learning,
and build on their previous experiences and knowledge. In order to do
this, the program takes a
curricular approach with inquiry at the center. It is not a method, but
a philosophy that guides
program development and student learning. Especially in the Early Years, it is vitally important that learning activities are strctured in such a way that the children can make connections to their previous experiences.
We acknowledge that
children are full of curiosity and constantly constructing their own
meaning. The teacher
supports them in being active learners and inquirers. Through the
inquiry approach, children are
given time to acquire relevant knowledge, to make connections, and to
reflect on and consolidate
what they have learned. |
