Recommended: Creativity and imagination in children

There wasn’t any comments on my essay 4 or I did not see any. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I will answer the prompt directly.

I did the same JEP assignment as last semester. In the first semester of JEP, we incorporate power points and creative projects that involve more crafts. We also tried to do more arts and share out. I learn how effective incorporating active learning was to children. Every week, I would observed the entire class actively engaging to the activities. That made the job of the instructor easier as there won’t be any moment of dead silence due to confusion. Instead, it was more excitement to answer questions and receive feedbacks. Through that experience, I learn to construct positive feedbacks and get the opportunity to watch my students grow as individuals. It was truly a remarkable experience working with 1st graders and kindergarteners. That was actually my first time working at JEP and getting to observe the neighborhood about the USC. I think I gain a strong sense of environment and the demographics that goes around USC. It truly got me out of my shell and explore beyond the …show more content…

This time I work with PK students who display shyness and little less enthusiasm compared to my last class. This assignment became more difficult compared to the first as I tried to solve moments of dead silence by improvising. This was actually a good skill to develop because sometimes when your plan does not work out, having the skill to come with a quick solution is invaluable. Connecting to my OT class, it almost felt like I was showing signs of spontaneous creativity because I was coming up with solutions in the process. Since the students in my class were much younger, we incorporate more movement in our lesson plans: acting, dancing, painting, making beats, etc. The lesson plans were more deviated from crafts, but it still emphasize creativity as the main

    There are many ways which help build rapport with children and young people. One of them is to ensure to actively listen to what they are saying. There may be times were you unintentionally brush aside what a child is saying perhaps it is because you are preoccupied or tired, however, even this can be enough to make a child feel unvalued. Being responded to appropriately reinforces a child's self-esteem. This will in turn help build a trusting relationship. Talking with children, asking and answering questions also helps build their language skills. If pupils are distressed and need to talk about it, they will more likely open up to the person who has made them feel that they have a voice. This is why it is very important to build a respectful and trusting relationship with students, as it can have an impact on most areas of development.

  • Reflection: My Special Education Field Experience

    1639 Words  | 4 Pages

    As we went through each chapter of our book it would remind me of situations I already observed or would see that week. The more I learned about the educational theories I was able to see certain situations in a new light and it highlighted the differences I saw in the ages groups and different classes. The use of different motivation methods that were utilized by the teachers was great; most of them I didn’t realize were motivators until later and the one motivator I thought I understood was a reinforcer. I did see how the teacher’s preconceived ideas about students because of the type of community they are affected the students most of the time not positively. Some students were quickly disciplined and others were allowed to get away with similar offences with no comment all because of the relationship the teachers had with the families involved or the town gossip about them. I could see that this was negatively reinforcing the bad behaviors in both students. This made me aware of checking my own preconceived ideas and trying to judge the children based on what I have learned about how students learn. Overall I do believe the goals of the STEM camp were met and this has taught me to use multiple approaches to keep students engaged and

    ...would be further motivated to love and study their subjects, and not be just thinking only about grades. If all teachers dedicate their human potential to their students, then students wouldn’t be scared to participate in discussions in spite of many stumbling barriers. The issues Ernest Boyer discusses in “Creativity in the Classroom” are of current interest not only in American educational system, but in my country as well. So,I would recommend this article to be discussed at teachers’ meetings in different types of educational institutions because the criteria of successful and creative teaching the author identifies in his article are universal and simple at the same time: just be dedicated to your job, care about your students, and don’t be afraid to learn and use new ideas in your classroom. Hence, creativity in the classroom often begins with a good teacher.

  • Creativity

    NACCCE definition of creativity: ‘Imaginative activity fashioned so as to produce outcomes that are both original and of value’(NACCCE, 1999:94).Creativity can motivate children to learn new information through a creative outlook. One of the biggest issues teachers have is between teaching required content and integrating creativity into the daily sessions. The National Curriculum and state standard often create boundaries towards the teacher’s ability to develop the lesson, as the intention of including creativity sometimes resorts in a teacher centred learning environment. The teacher’s role should be to generate lessons and create activities that encourage students to be more open to their creative side. This is vital as it exposes children with varying learning styles to different ways of learning.

    The student that I am observing for my case study is a very imaginative student in our classroom. I believe this because I can say one word to this student and he can come up with a whole story just from that word. When he works one on one with a teacher, he is very cooperative and polite. I recently noticed that if a fellow classmate were struggling with a particular concept, he would try to give them hints towards the answer.

  • Project Classroom Makeover Research

    Creative thinking in and out of the classroom can lead to a prosperous future of a young student. Technology can help the students develop a new way of understanding the importance of education. Creating new ideas, while also learning something new of their interest can keep them interested in the classroom. Allowing for free movement throughout the day allows for students to feel free and allows for time to create new things. The feeling of being trapped in a dreaded, boring school day leads to students having no interest in what they are doing during the day. Uniformity forces all students to have to study the same thing. Destroying uniformity allows for more individuality which then leads to more inspired students. “Project Classroom Makeover”

  • Essay On Creative Arts

    1483 Words  | 3 Pages

    Creative Arts in early childhood education refers to children’s participation in a variety of activities that engage their minds, bodies and senses (Sinclair, Jeanneret & O’Toole, 2012; Kearns, 2017); to inspire all children with the opportunity for creative and imaginative expression. Duffy (2006) and Sinclair et al. (2012) state that creativity is the process where children use their imagination to problem solve, develop new ideas, independence and flexibility to accomplish tasks. Furthermore, when educators foster creativity, they are assisting children in making meaning through play and developing their growing capacity to communicate, collaborate and think critically to meet the demands of life in the 21st century (Duffy, 2006; Korn-Bursztyn, 2012; Sinclair et al., 2012).
