Grounded in the idea that children are curious and learn from their environments, Reggio Emilia differs from other educational philosophies in its use of in-depth projects, child-led class content and peer collaboration. Classrooms set up in Reggio Emilia classrooms are rooted in the educational program's philosophy. In this approach, the classroom becomes another teacher, according to the website Scholastic Teachers. Designing the toddler classroom in the Reggio Emilia approach means organizing the environment in a way that's pleasing to the senses, teaches aesthetic awareness and engages the child as part of the learning process. Add Plenty of Organization Toddlers can learn how to sort items into categories through the organized environment of a Reggio Emilia classroom, according to Earlychildhood News.

Create spaces to store materials that are out in the open. Instead of putting all of the art materials or colorful blocks away in closets and drawers, use storage bins on a shelf. Proposed education inspection framework draft for consultation 140119. Remple. What motivates teachers to conduct research? What motivates teachers to conduct research? By T. Subahan Mohd. Meerah Abd. Jamil Ahmad Faculty of Education, National University Of Malaysia, 43650 Bangi, Selangor D.E. Paper presented at the Higher Education Close Up Conference 2,Lancaster University, 16-18 July The main function of a teacher is teaching. Introduction In Malaysia, formal education is considered an important platform in nation building. "The Educational Vision draws from and translates the concerns articulated in Vision 2020 in the educational context. In order for the formal education to be implemented successfully, the education system should have approaches, methods, techniques, resources and management, which are developed in accordance with the National Education Philosophy (NEP), besides upgrading other educational infrastructures.

In the field of education in Malaysia, the role of research in education has become transparent in its usefulness. Rationale for Teacher as a Researcher Source: Ministry of Education 1997.

Maps, number lines, shapes, artwork and other materials tend to adorn elementary classroom walls.

However, new research from Carnegie Mellon University shows that too much of a good thing may end up disrupting attention and learning in young children. Published in Psychological Science, Carnegie Mellon's Anna V. Fisher, Karrie E. Godwin and Howard Seltman looked at whether classroom displays affected children's abilities to maintain focus during instruction and learn the lesson content. "Young children spend a lot of time — usually the whole day — in the same classroom, and we have shown that a classroom's visual environment can affect how much children learn," said Fisher, lead author and associate professor of psychology in the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences. Should teachers take down their visual displays based on the findings of this study? "We do not suggest by any means that this is the answer to all educational problems. Homepage Story Archives. Sensory Over-Responsivity: An Occupational Therapy Perspective on Mental Health – Creative Occupational Therapy.

Winnie Dunn's Model of Sensory Processing and Integration | Weighted Blankets - The Perfect Calming Solution. Winifred (Winnie) Dunn is a modern day scholar specializing in mental health behaviors, causes, and treatments. She has devoted her entire professional career to understanding and standardizing sensory processing. Dunn has an incredible research portfolio that includes over 150 scientific articles, published books, and lectures. Winnie studied at the University of Missouri and earned her master’s in special education with a focus on learning disabilities.

Her bachelor’s degree is in occupational therapy. Dunn established 4 unique processing patterns that typically define a person who has a sensory processing disorder. Two of the patterns are defined as sensory under-responsive, while the other two are over-responsive. If one is over-responsive to their senses, they are over-stimulated by their senses and can react negatively to what their senses are processing. Sensory Under-Responsiveness: Low Registration Dunn’s pattern of low registration is often referred to as hypo-sensitivity.

Breakthrough Study Reveals Biological Basis for Sensory Processing Disorders in Kids. Sensory processing disorders (SPD) are more prevalent in children than autism and as common as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, yet the condition receives far less attention partly because it’s never been recognized as a distinct disease. In a groundbreaking new study from UC San Francisco, researchers have found that children affected with SPD have quantifiable differences in brain structure, for the first time showing a biological basis for the disease that sets it apart from other neurodevelopmental disorders.

One of the reasons SPD has been overlooked until now is that it often occurs in children who also have ADHD or autism, and the disorders have not been listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual used by psychiatrists and psychologists. “Until now, SPD hasn’t had a known biological underpinning,” said senior author Pratik Mukherjee, MD, PhD, a professor of radiology and biomedical imaging and bioengineering at UCSF. ‘Out of Sync’ Kids Imaging the Brain’s White Matter.
