Purpose: engaging children by using physical objects to explore and discover concepts. This method enhances understanding, promotes engagement, and encourages collaboration.

# data[].attributes.body
Impact: It frequently results in improved information retention, increased excitement for learning, and the development of critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

By providing physical objects that were relevant to the topic, the teacher effectively captured the students' attention throughout the lesson. This will make them excited and understand the lessons more.

Learning Outcomes vs. Learning Objectives

# data[].attributes.body
Purpose: The purpose of objective reading engagement is to enhance children's understanding and focus by clearly outlining what they will learn. It helps set expectations, promotes active participation, and encourages a sense of ownership in their learning process.

# data[].attributes.body
Impact: Improved focus and comprehension, as they know what to expect from the lesson. It also fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility for their learning, encouraging them to engage more actively in the process.

# data[].attributes.body
In order to explain to the students what they would be learning and what their daily chores were, the teacher used to read the objectives with them every day.

Description: The teacher do a simple, age-appropriate basic exercises or movements, and the students do exactly the same, each exercise for about ten seconds.

Impact: Playing sports on a daily basis, even for a short time, will have a great impact on the child's mentality, healthy sleep, and growth, as it will move his muscles and body.

Doing exercise every day is very important and beneficial for children. Every day, the teacher would have the students do some exercises for ten minutes.

Justifcation: Positive reinforcement plays a major role to secure attachment in several ways, because it helps build a good relationship between the student and his teacher in which there is trust and a sense of security.

Positive reinforcement is linked to Skinner's theory, who is known for his work in behaviorism. He developed operant conditioning, which involves learning through punishment and reward.

Positive reinforcement is linked to emotional and social development.

Emotional development: Emotional development requires a safe and secure environment.  It’s connected to John Bowlby’s theory which emphasizes the importance of secure emotional bond the caregiver and the child.

Social development: Early childhood social development is the process through which a child learns to engage with people and build relationships. It’s connected to Erik Erickson’s theory, and aligned with the stage of ( initiative vs guilt ) typically from age  3 to 6, in this stage children start to interact with others and start to assert themselves (Cherry, 2024b).

Reflection: Positive reinforcement has a beneficial impact on wellbeing because it makes the children feel valued and motivates him to perform better, which boosts his self-esteem.

# data[].attributes.body
justification: Group work fosters secure attachment by providing encouragement and support to students. A teacher who requires her students to participate in cooperative activities will help the youngsters develop empathy.

Group work in enhances both social and emotional domains.

Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development has a connection to group work in the form of initiative vs. guilt stages. Group work enables the children to try out, share, and experiment with new things in a good environment and thereby develop initiative.

# data[].attributes.body
Reflection: Group work enhances students' well-being by ensuring they feel a sense of belonging and connection to other people. Children, when working together, acquire important social skills, such as sharing and empathy.

# data[].attributes.body
Justification: When a teacher adds tangible objects, such as toys, books, or materials that relate to the lesson, it provides tangible sensory experiences that have the potential to make children more grounded and interested in the learning process.

Cognitive domain: Focuses on the brain and intellectual skills, such as critical thinking, recall and problem solving. The cognitive domain is significant since it aims to improve an individual’s mental talents as well as knowledge.

Jean Piaget's theory explains that children develop knowledge actively as they interact with their environment.

Jean Piaget's constructivist theory is most similar to the use of concrete materials in classes. Piaget believed that children learn well by actively exploring and interacting with their environment (Ansorge et al., 2024).

Reflection: Giving the students tangible things that are related to the lesson will have an impact on their wellbeing because they will learn what is taught more easily, comprehend it better, and become more enthusiastic, which will boost their confidence and reduce their anxiety.

# data[].attributes.body
Justification: When the teacher reads the lesson objectives with the children, it is a sign that the teacher is being open, clear, and consistent about what will take place. This sort of predictability provides children with a sense of secure because they know what will happen next.

Noam Chomsky's theory of language acquisition suggests that humans are born with an innate tendency to acquire language using a hypothetical "Language Acquisition Device" (LAD) (Stanborough, 2019). When teachers clearly state their lesson objective, they create an environment conducive to language development.

Piaget's stages of cognitive development include how children begin using language and symbols to interpret the world, which gave the basis for understanding that language is a component of the cognitive process in early child development.

Reflection: Reading the objective of the lesson with students can have a positive impact on their well-being by providing clarity and structure. When students know what to expect, they feel more in control and prepared, which reduces anxiety.

# data[].attributes.body
Justification: Some simple exercises that a teacher can conduct with her students can have a big impact on stable attachment, as the teacher-child relationship is strengthened since the teacher encourages the pupils to warm up and will accompany them step by step.

Physical domain focuses entirely on body movement, a person learns and uses body control and general fitness through movement, whether fine motor-skill which are moving small muscles or gross motor skills which are moving large muscles, Arnold Gesell is one of the earliest and most prominent researchers to systematically study the development of motor skills in children. This domain is important because it affects our overall health and the ability to perform daily tasks.

Physical and Intellectual Development: Through the sensorimotor stage, Piaget posited that infants acquire knowledge and intellectually develop by virtue of their physical experiences in the world. Motor skills (e.g., gross motor skills, like crawling or walking, and fine motor skills, like grasping or manipulating objects) are required for the child to explore and understand the world (Ansorge et al., 2024).

Reflection: Exercising daily can positively improve children's well-being by boosting mood and focus, and reducing stress and anxiety. Regular activity reduces tension and might give a relaxing effect.
