Children are not able to "participate" in class!?
The illustration below is a simplified representation of the "Hierarchical Model of Learning" (2013, Onuki) by Masamichi Yuzawa, professor at Hiroshima University Graduate School and member of the Working Memory Education Promotion Association.
In the "learning hierarchy model" in class,"Participate" ⇒ "Understand" ⇒ "Learn" ⇒ "Utilize"The process is shown, but the first"Participate"It seems that there are many children who are not able to.
As shown in the figure, "participation" is the foundation for "understanding, acquisition, and utilization." Three factors are cited as reasons why this foundation is weak.
- Executive Function "Inhibit and Shift"
It is closely related to the functioning of working memory, and this may be what hinders "participation." - Secondary disability: "Loss of self-esteem due to failure experiences"
Memories of past failures may remain strong, and the feeling that "I can't do it anyway" may be preventing people from "participating." - Developmental characteristics: "obsessive focus, creativity (autism spectrum), etc."
I will omit the details this time.
Like thisIt is very important for adults to understand the possibilities and factors that are preventing "participation"That is it.
