Learning through play - classroom examples

ACER with the LEGO Foundation explored the extent to which playful pedagogies have been used in schools globally, and their impact on students’ holistic skills development. The ensuing  white paper  found that learning through play shares similar characteristics to other pedagogies such as project-, problem-, and inquiry-based learning. This can be highly effective when certain enabling conditions are present, such as teacher education, training, and leadership support. The white paper provided a framework to view children’s experiences of learning through play at school.
