Aan de slag met beelden en geluiden

Doekatern: Om de onderstaande activiteiten (zowel zonder als met audiovisuele materialen) te doen slagen is het van belang dat je als kleuteronderwijzer tijdens de kringmomenten voor een speelse en uitdagende motivering en terugkoppeling zorgt. Daarnaast ligt bij elk van deze activiteiten de klemtoon op het ontdekken, het ervaren, het beleven, het zich uitdrukken. Het proces is dus belangrijk, veel meer dan het (technische) resultaat. Audiovisuele materialen zijn een middel om kleuters gericht te leren luisteren en kijken en tot expressie te brengen.status: publishe

Multimedia in preschool: An additional opportunity towards equal opportunities in education

The aim of this practice-based project is to investigate how multimedia literacy of young children (starting from 3 years old) can be stimulated and which influence this has on their exploration of the world and their evolution as a person. Our main purpose results in four concrete goals: firstly, we want to investigate how education can stimulate children’s multimedia literacy and can anticipate on the available multimedia skills of children ever since preschool. Secondly, we want to explore how multimedia literacy can help and support young children in their exploration of the world. Thirdly, we would like to investigate empirical the extra potential of multimedia in education for young children with extra needs. At least, we want to reduce the technological fear showed by the preschool teachers, students and docents by augmenting their understanding of multimedia literacy.status: publishe

Multimedia in preschool: An additional opportunity towards equal opportunities in education

The objectives of this practice-based project are threefold. Firstly, it investigates how multimedia literacy of preschool children (3 to 5 year olds) can be stimulated. Secondly, it aims at understanding the influence of multimedia literacy on their world exploration. Do children exhibit a higher level of wellbeing, involvement, active language skills, social competence, self-regulation, creativity and artistic expression while exploring the world? Thirdly, the potential of multimedia to support the children’s personal development is assessed, with particular emphasis on young children with extra needs. The results show that the creativity of children on average is growing when they have the possibility to explore the world using audio-visual materials. Furthermore, the research shows that children with externalizing problem behaviour benefit from audio-visual input. They demonstrate a higher wellbeing and involvement. On the other hand the wellbeing of children with internalizing problem behaviour will benefit from additional teacher support.status: publishe
