Creating a Joyful Learning Environment at Primary Level

The “joyful learning” is a kind of learning experience which could make learner feel pleasure in the learning process. A suitable learning environment with proper learning sequence is essential for learning, especially for children who are still in the early development period. In classrooms of today, we are more likely to see academically oriented teacher directed instructions than active learning based on socialization, imagination, and creativity. When teachers use strategies to reduce stress and build a positive emotional environment, students gain emotional resilience and learn more efficiently. Psychologists emphasize that teaching should take place at a level that is neither too difficult and stressful nor too easy and boring for the age of the child. It is the responsibility of the teacher to make the journey of sharing and construction of knowledge joyful.
