The topic I choose to do my research the benefits of play and learning and
how they are connected. I chose this topic because I want to reach out to
families and others about the importance of play. When children play on their own
or with other children they are learning and creating. Children have a strong
opportunity when they engage in play. It allows them to create, explore and
interact with the world around them. Children also build self-esteem when they have
the opportunity to play. Research supports the notion that play is essential to
physical, social, cognitive and emotional aspects of a child’s development.
Play is important to
the development and growth in early childhood development and I am interested
to see what current research has to say and prove. From the course so far I
have learn to use the eight steps to evaluate websites and analyze information.
The information I have learned will be helpful to me by selecting valuable
resources to apply to my research.
I will greatly appreciate
it if any if you have advice, insights or resources that may help me on my
topic the benefits of play and learning and how they are connected. Listed
below are some resources that I have already found that I would like to share
