ABSTRACT
Children spend a large proportion of their life in school. They go there to learn in the widest possible interpretation of the word. They learn about themselves, about being a person within a group of others, about the community in which they live, and about the world around them. The kind of learning that occurs, and how it is acquired, will determine the progress the children make and the understandings they develop about themselves and others. In other words it helps determine the kind of people they become.
