Abstract
Curious young minds inhabit the classrooms,
especially the early primary classes. It is up to the
teacher to sustain the sparks of experimentation or
further the spirit of questioning. Teachers’ methods
of participation and rich content presentation can
have magical effects on children’s comprehension.
The crucial elements for learning lie in appeal
and engagement with the content, free of fear. A
classroom where children are not afraid to make
mistakes, or where creativity is as significant as
literacy, provides elements of trust. A supportive
teacher, an adult who is respectful and warm, will
provide emotionally nurturing learning spaces.
In the words of John Holt, ‘Learning is not the
product of teaching. Learning is the product of the
activity of learners.’ The need is to find ways to take
advantage of what benefits children, which is being
with other children.
