Learning by Doing

"Tell me, and i'll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and i'll understand."

Says the Preschooler. ^^,
In my 3rd year with my course (Bachelor of Elem. Ed. -Major in Preschool) I learned a lot of theories and principles of teaching from my major subjects. And as to site one is the principle of involving the child to all activities in order for him to learn. The learning by doing theory of John Dewey, emphasized that in order for the child to learn, let him understand what is it about by getting him involve in the teaching-learning process. Let him do the activity by himself. I believe that in just demonstrating and discussing the lesson  alone, you may had the child's attention but in a matter of seconds, everything will fade. However, if you explain, demonstrate and at the same time let him manipulate things, he would absorb what he had experienced and apply it in some other situations.
Let's not burden ourselves in carrying all the responsibilities to integrate and pass the lesson to our preschoolers. Let them learn on their own at their own level.
