CESA Re-imagining Childhood 0-18

Professor Carla Rinaldi

“ …children are active constructors of knowledge, competencies and autonomies… in the relationship with their peers, adults, and the environment. The construction of knowledge is a group process.”

Carla Rinaldi says that the role and importance of peers and working in small groups is clear. Children’s learning is enriched and enabled by the contribution of the others through communication and exchange, particularly when the exchange creates a sense of conflict. (Carla Rinaldi 2006)

This seminar provides teachers, school leaders and co-educators with an interactive opportunity to explore the idea of learning as a group and to consider how this may be different to the idea of learning in a group.  Participants will also explore questions such as:

• What processes and strategies foster the pleasure of learning as a group?
  
• How does the relationship with peers, adults and the environment enrich and enable individual and group construction of knowledge?
