Kindergarten Learning Environment Design: EC1063 Curriculum Project

This presentation focuses on designing a Kindergarten learning environment as part of the EC1063 curriculum. It includes a design for a complete Kindergarten classroom, emphasizing the importance of creating an environment that fosters communication, collaboration, and inquiry. The design incorporates five learning centers, each intended to promote student inquiry, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. The presentation also anticipates how these centers might evolve as students grow and develop, referencing Hilda Booler Kindergarten as an example of an attractive school that enhances children's creative nature by encouraging them to solve problems independently. The reference list includes books, journals, websites, and online articles that support the design and pedagogical approach.

How students demonstrate problem-solving skills
Hilda Booler Kindergarten is an attractive school for
children as it fosters students to enhance the creative nature
of children. Students are given problems and instructed
them to solve those problems on their own. This can be
considered a difficult task for children but it helps children
to enhance their problem-solving skill (Broadbent, Poon,
2007).
