Description

Child-centered lesson planning in early childhood education

Finnish education is known for research-based and innovative pedagogy. Finnish education is a combination of stress-free and child-centered approach and excellent learning results. In teacher training Finnish teachers are taught how to design engaging and motivating lessons and educational activities that truly promote learning.

Designing lessons and educational activities beforehand helps create meaningful learning situations. The teacher can always be flexible and change plans but planning lessons in advance is helpful for building further developed and more beneficial educational activities for young children.

Education in Finland early childhood education online course
In Finland, teacher-lead teaching is not a common form of educational activities in early childhood education. A teacher is an activator or a facilitator rather than an authority who shares information and knows the right answers.

The purpose of beforehand planning is to enhance learning the best possible way. That is why planning is based on the latest scientific research on learning and how it can be fostered. It is vital that teachers acquire a strong foundation of what learning is and how it can be promoted. Furthermore, it is essential for teachers to get a versatile “toolbox” of different methods and pedagogical practices for choosing the most suitable pedagogical solution for different children, groups and situations.
