Play Pedagogy
“Child-centred play pedagogy starts from the children. Child-centred play pedagogy requires us to take the lead from the children. This approach actively responds to the individual and constantly changing needs of a young child. A young child’s voice is interpreted by our observations of their actions, emotions and words. These observations are central to assessment and inform us what children need.”
(Realising the Ambition, Education Scotland, 2020, p. 46)
“Playful Pedagogy puts play experience as central to learning, giving pupils the flexibility to find their own solutions to both new and existing problems. It engages children in personally meaningful activities, learning about themselves and others, and encourages autonomy and motivation.”
(Play Scotland, 2021)
