ASSIGNMENT QUESTION

Siraj-Blatchford (1999) in Muijs and Reynolds (2005) identifies three elements necessary for
effective early years teaching: (a) Creating the learning environment. This includes organising
materials and resources, providing relevant, interesting and latest experiences and providing
opportunities for active exploration and questioning, including a lot of pupil-pupil and pupiladult talk to allow linguistic competency to develop; (b) Direct instruction, including
demonstration, description, answering questions, directing the childs attention and constructive
criticism and reinforcement; and (c) Scaffolding, including directing childrens attention to new
aspects of a situation, helping the children to sequence activities and managing complex tasks by
breaking them down into smaller, more manageable parts.
(a)

Explain the above statement in detail.

(b)

Plan a learning environment which you believe will encourage young children to learn
through active exploration and interaction with adults, other children and materials.

Present your responses in the form of a report.
