Beliefs About Learning
- Learning is developmental, child-centred and purposeful.
- Child initiated, self-directed activity is a strong motivation for leaning.
- Children are encouraged to be independent and responsible for their own actions. Self-discipline and consistent behaviour expectations from home and school mould the personalities of children.
- Children are encouraged and taught to develop skills so that they are better able to take control of their own learning.
- Cultural, social and intellectual equity are the underlying considerations in learning experiences.
- Equitable learning experiences are those which recognise, value and respond to individual and group differences, whether due to gender, ethnicity, social-economic background, intellectual ability and/or physical disability.
- A child's education is the result of the interaction which takes place between the child and the environment.
- It is the right of children to realise and reach their potential. Children are expected to accept the responsibility which go with these rights. The role of the school is to provide learning experiences and opportunities to facilitate this.
