Understanding and Teaching Children
This article will reflect a personal philosophy through which we can support the welfare
of children aiming their 360-degree development. The idea of wellbeing is never apart from
quality teaching as well as quality learning process among children and young people. In this
context, wellbeing framework of school proposed by NSW Government states that this
process of quality learning among children includes the following:
 Overall development covering: Social, physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual
areas
 Entrusting children to school authorities with full confidence by the parents
 Most importantly, educational institutes and teachers in the communities should be
committed to create quality-learning prospects for children and younger generation
(NSW Government, 2015).
After studying many philosophies of education and teaching, I personally analysed that
self-determined learning plays a key role in skill development phase among youth. According
to Self-determined learning concept, Learner himself is the foremost important in his or her
own learning, that occurs post individual past experiences (Kizel, 2016). I also rely on this
fact that what the learner elects to learn is worthy and he or she should hear deeply to their
mind, physique, soul, and emotions as directors to fulfil their desired goals (Kizel, 2016). In
this manner, the children need to be supple, able to shift where quality learning occurs, and
furnaces new ways, new queries to improve. During this whole process, the prominence is to
develop capability, self-reflection practice, and an understanding of learning pattern of
children during their different age phase. In this article, as we are talking about wellbeing
support system of children, so the concept of ‘Well-being’ should be discussed associated
with its key values. Well-being is not having a single extent to express it fully but several
other attributes contribute to it being the most important elements of well-being, these
measuring elements of well-being are as follows:
Humanistic Psychology: Maslow’s Humanistic concept mentions that human kind
attempts to fulfil their desires through self-actualization by putting greater effort towards
where it is needed (Henriett & Máté, 2013).
Emotional Intelligence: this measure evaluates the learner’s level of emotional-
intelligence by using four subscales: emotion observation, applying emotions, dealing with
self-related emotions, and handling others’ emotions (Shodhganga Inflibnet, 2018).
CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning): it is aim is to
provide social as well as emotional quality learning from initial schooling to high school
(CASEL, 2018).
