Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Piagetian approach emphasizes on learning through exploration and hands-on experiences. Therefore, providing a setting where children can explore and learn by doing things themselves is the best choice. Asking children to imitate until perfection may hinder their creativity and problem-solving skills. Rewarding only correct answers may discourage children from trying and making mistakes, which is a vital part of the learning process. Using flashcards repeatedly may not offer the opportunity for children to fully understand and integrate the concepts into their existing knowledge.
