Educate children through direct experiences | Part 16
Direct experiences foster creativity, promote motor, cognitive and emotional development through activities that stimulate the senses.
These experiences offer new possibilities for learning, in environments that pose a challenge, helping to understand reality and improving skills for autonomy.
Direct experience in the museum of recycled paper.
It seeks to connect the recycling works, with the care of the environment. Teaching that what apparently has no use, becomes what has been sought so much.
It is a great experience, which provides the opportunity to incorporate the reuse of paper, encourage creativity based exclusively on recycling.
Objectives of the visit to the museum of recycled paper.
- Promote creative and thinking skills.
- Generate awareness in the care of the environment.
- Show how it is possible to reuse material that is considered disposable, for creative works.
Function of the educator, in the museum.
The educator must develop an educational program, work with children the value of respect for the environment, while observing the many areas that the museum offers, doing it in a fun and entertaining way, teaching them a new habit of recycling.
The whole purpose of providing learning to students, contributes to human formation, which generates awareness, is what should be considered as a central point.
Learning and fun activities in the recycled paper museum.
It is about taking advantage of recycling exhibitions, to get involved directly with the environment, learning to have an individual perspective, developing skills, and awareness. In addition to giving another opportunity to the materials and extending the life of the environment.
The tour of the museum covers:
Artworks. Numerous creations are exhibited in museums, where creativity has overflowed its maximum expression.
Creating a font with recycled paper, is impressive to where the human being can reach with imagination, giving color and life, something that perhaps, before was useless now, has created life and utility.
Creation workshop. contemplating the works is not only what can be done in museums, there are currently art creation workshops, ready to give children the opportunity to create their own works and at the same time expose them.
It is a way to stimulate imagination and creativity, get more involved in the art world and learn the different uses that can be given to recycled material.
Activities to do in the classroom after the visit to the museum.
To stimulate creativity for the benefit of children, the educator must carry out activities, take advantage of what many believe is waste and generate a contribution of benefit for the environment, making the visit to the museum a complete and formative experience.
Activity. It is based on making recycled paper. To carry out the work, it is necessary for children to accumulate paper that is no longer used.
The materials that will be used: magazines or newspapers, mesh to be able to strain the paper, blender, containers to soak paper, towel, water and sponge.
Below is a video of the creation of recycled paper in the classroom as an educational tool.
By creating recycled paper, children can make incredible works of art. This activity helps reduce deforestation and saves trees from being processed.
Greetings educators and motivators of education.
You are right hands on experience is very important, unfortunately school put much more emphasis on theoretical education through books and many children are clueless how to apply these knowledge to real life and they start to distance themselves from school.
It is important that what we have learned in school take us to a direct experience, contact, openness opens new horizons and allows a more effective development.
This post is cool.
Hopefully all educators will educate this way.
Hello, well, every teacher and motivator has different methods, it is always good to vary a bit to find enthusiasm.
Absolutely, I do agree. A teacher should be creative then.
I agree!
The museum is one of the best places to gather information and knowledge. :)
If it is good, a museum, a school with dynamic classes, outings in the open air, or what provides the place for children to learn directly from the lived reality, is a good example to learn.
Wow, I love the museum, must've been such an eye opening experience for them especially since it is done outside of the classroom
Discovering, developing, being able to experiment is wonderful for children and also for the educator, it is gratifying for both.
