But today, children are spending more time in kindergartens working out math problems and memorizingwords.In short kindergartens are becoming more like schools.In my mind, exactly the opposite is needed.Instead of making kindergartens like schools we need to make schools more like kindergartens.As I see it,the kindergarten approach to learning is ideally suited to the core need of the 21century-the ability to think creatively. Unfortunately, most schools are out of step with today’s need: they are not designed to help students develop as creative thinkers. But kindergartens, at least those remain true to the kindergarten tradition do things differently.What do I mean by the kindergarten approach to learning? In traditional kindergartens, children are constantly designing,creating.experimenting, and exploring. Two children are building towers with wooden blocks. A classmate sees the towers and starts pushing his toy car between them But the towers are too close together, so the children start moving the towers further apart to make room for the car. In the process one ofthe towers falls down. After a brief argument over who is at fault,they start talking about how to build a taller and stronger tower. Seeing this, the teacher shows them pictures of real world-tall buildings and the children notice that the bottoms of the buildings are wider than the tops. So they decide to rebuild their block tower with a A. offers people a chance to read in nature B. attracts a large number of readersC. has support from the local governmentD. covers a large area of forest 10. Where is this passage most likely from?A. A diary C. A newspaperB. A handbook D. A novelwider base than before. This type of process is repeated over and over in kindergarten. The materials vary and the creations vary,but the core process is the same.In going through this process, kindergarten children develop and improve their abilities as creative thinkers. They learn to develop their own ideas, try them out test the boundaries, experiment with alternatives, get input from others-and perhaps most significantly, generate new ideas based on their experiences. The kindergarten approach to learning is well-matched to the core need of the current society, and should be extended to learners of all ages. alternatives, get input from others-and perhaps most significantly, generate new ideas based on their experiences.
