Children's Learning

<p>Practice of children’s learning/teaching is frequently based on tradicional attitude to a child as a person and a childhood as an immature period in terms of social and cultural meanings (Juodaitytė, 2003, Gulløv, 2005b; Hviid, 2005; Juodaitytė, 2007). Contemporary pedagogy supports a variety of approaches to childhood: <em>from general</em> definition of it as a period, grounding it on psychogenetic peculiarities of this period and ascribing “imperfection” to it as a necessary and self-explanatory characteristics, <em>to</em> its <em>mythologized</em>, strained explanation, employing its pseudo-scientific interpretation, based on theories of “wild thinking”, “primitive civilisations” or “natural selection”.</p><p>Next to such socio-cultural discourse, which prevails in the educational reality, another discourse, which represents the culture children’s informal learning, emerges that implies the culture of children’s self-learning. It is based on the roles, rules that are acceptable to children themselves in the process of learning and the practice of children’s learning (Jurašaitė, 1999; Dencik, 2005; Gulløv, 2005a, 2005b; Hviid, 2005; Jenks, 2005;Juul, 2005a, 2005b). According to such conception, a child is a creator of social order, who is responsible for own learning process and its outcomes.<strong></strong></p><p>One of the conditions for children’s independent learning is a free choice of means, environments, sources, techniques and others. Informal home setting during summer creates favourable conditions for children’s independent learning because children are provided with a choice: how to use various aids, what environments and resources to use for self-learning and what learning methods to apply taking into account own needs and abilities.</p><p><strong>The problem questions</strong><strong>of theresearch: </strong>How does child’s freedom manifest itself in processes of self-learning and how is the socio-cultural identity of an informally learning child conceptualised?</p><p><strong>Research aim – </strong>to reveal the expression of the freedom of children<em>’</em>s who learn informally in a free (unstructured) setting when analysing how children conceptualisethemselves in this process and create the identity of the one learning in the informal independent way.</p><p><strong>Research object </strong>– expression of socio-cultural identity of children, who learn informally in a free (unstructured) setting.<strong></strong></p>

This paper discusses the concept of fantasy. There is much in the word of fiction today so that the number of writers on imagination is increasing. After people have come to realize that romance is serving as much as a sea in the intellectual development of children, most of them have started to encourage their children to like more reading fantasy books. Some parents have even made it a great deal by deciding to build a small home library of fantasy books for children.The paper’s purpose is to discuss the role of fantasy literature in children’s intellectual development by including different forms of fantasy and its various advantages. The latter include creativity, entertainment, imagination and language skills improvement, the schematic knowledge, enjoyment, strategies applied for problem-solving, knowing the do’s and don’ts of the society, etc. Some Critics have made assertions on children’s ways of learning. This paper incorporates some of the claims and discusses them with some excerpts of illustrative stories related to fantasy.Enhanced by the fact that fantasy is the roadmap to the child thinking ability development, the paper will finally show why parents should motivate their children to get interested in fiction, which has a lot to do with children’s learning process.
