ABSTRACT
The act of being aware necessitates paying attention to what is going on in the immediate environment and inside one’s self. Awareness is a wide range of experiences as well as the accumulation of data. Children use their awareness in a variety of ways. For example, when children are asked to line up in alphabetical order according to first names, the learners must know the order of the alphabet, and also the correct spellings of the names of the other students in the class. When asked to find ways things are alike or different children are assisted in the task by heightened awareness of attributes and characteristics. In the affective area, students’ social/interpersonal skills are improved by an awareness of other people and their feelings and an ability to read nonverbal cues.
