ABSTRACT
Children significantly contribute to their own learning processes. They learn from their experiences, select what they attend to and work out their own 'rules of the game'. It is people's task as adults to enhance children's natural proclivity for learning. This means they should respect children as active constructors of knowledge and, by-and- large, as being capable of driving their own learning. From the moment of birth, human beings actively process the world about them and find patterns and meaning in their experiences. Thus, they come to learn the language of their cultures and the appropriate social rules and roles. They learn to walk, to run and to engage in complex interactions and games with their family and friends. The chapter discusses three strategies along with their rationales. The strategies include: build on students' play interests, develop personalized learning, and develop self-regulated learning.
