How Children Learn

Paper Summary:

This paper looks at some of the many ways in which children best learn, as well as factors that might hinder optimum learning. Topics discussed include the environment in which children might best learn, how culture may influence learning for the better or worse, who exactly is responsible for children's learning, and whether children are fundamentally good or bad.

From the Paper:

"As our society moves headlong into the information age, as more and more children and their parents looks to already-overloaded schools and school systems for quality education, and as funding for education and those that most need it is cut, it is more important than ever for people to better understand how and why children learn the best. This paper shall discuss some of the most important factors that play into children's learning processes, which include their environment, the culture in which they are raised, who is ultimately responsible for children's learning, and what children are, fundamentally, good or bad. Both the environment in which a child is raised and the environment in which a child is schooled have much to do with how effective his or her education will be. "
