ABSTRACT
Children must learn to verbalize their thoughts, inner feelings, wild ideas, plans, and opinions, as this is believed to enhance their conceptual growth, language skills, and development of their personality, amongst others. Language use at school differs profoundly from language use at home. At school, children must learn to approach the world from a decontextualized, scientific perspective. Students are taught a certain topic and have to demonstrate what they learnt shortly afterwards. Children who failed to develop crucial skills, knowledge, and attitudes probably need differentiated, adjusted types of support, instruction, and feedback to make progress, improve their performance, and learn from their errors. Human beings motivation to learn is boosted if learning can give them social profit. The sustainable learning of key competences by every single student constitutes the key mission of every single school. School leadership has been claimed to be second only to classroom teaching as an influence on student learning.
