In this blog, the authors describe the move from a traditional, “factory model” of education to a new, active playful learning model.
“The science of learning demonstrates that students learn best through experiences that are active rather than passive, engaging without being distracting, and meaningful by connecting to prior knowledge or real-world contexts. Learning is also deepened when it is socially interactive, encouraging collaboration with peers and teachers; iterative, allowing space for experimentation and revision; and joyful, fostering a positive emotional connection to learning.”
