Child-Friendly Approaches in the Classroom

( Lecture delivered during the INSET for teachers)
By Sir Armand
I am here to share something about child- friendly approaches in the classroom..not because I am an expert for this topic but incidentally I have met various cases of results of anti-child atmosphere in the classroom.. Aside from that, I was able to dig out the cases of bullying students and victims of bullying students…I was able to make some researches about this topic in my quest to analyze what motivates child to bully and as teachers, how do we react and resolve this problem….

My fellow teacher, i know many of you….knew this topic already.. but let this be a validation of your stock knowledge on Child- friendly approaches….

We are passing through into a great transition. The old is becoming obsolete and The new is still in the process of emergence….

In the age of Multi media together with the emergence of information technology, the learner is becoming complicated and very difficult to understand.

Take this situation, most of the students today are most inclined in the information technology gadget including exposition to internet like facebook games, dota and many more…and that besides television.

These exposition of students to various media including social media, form part of their values and personality…we can consider them media babies
