Question 2

Critical Reflection Questions 
What did you discover about the child's readiness to learn that you did not know before?

Accepted Answer

During my observation, I discovered that the child's readiness to learn was much higher than I had previously thought. I had assumed that the child may have had some difficulty focusing or staying engaged in the learning activities, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that the child was actually very eager and enthusiastic about learning. The child actively participated in the activities, asked thoughtful questions, and showed a genuine interest in exploring new concepts. This discovery has made me realize the importance of not making assumptions about a child's readiness to learn based on preconceived notions, and instead, to approach each child with an open mind and a willingness to observe and understand their individual learning styles and preferences.
