This program consists of five short videos that look at active learning in children and how it is all about motivation and the will to learn from experiences. It considers how active learning links with children's self-regulation; looks at children's desire to be in control and how being deeply involved is one of the key features of learning to learn in an active way; and examines why the joy experienced when you achieve a goal you have set for yourself is so important for children's development of effective learning. The program also considers how the ability to stay with things and keep on trying even when things keep failing can lead to self-regulated learning; how this type of learning builds children's brains; and what adults can do to encourage motivation and concentration.
