Welcome to Active Learning and Homeschooling 1 lectures!
Sometimes families can be in a situation when they have to take a lot of responsibility of their children´s learning. Sometimes it´s parents´ own choice to choose homeschooling. We would like to help and motivate the parents with their task. In the lectures related to homeschooling we share ideas on how to use active learning either at home, in the Kindergarten or school, with the children aged 3-8. The topics of these three lectures are related to the concept of active learning, assessment (course 1) and ideas on how to combine teddy bears and active learning.
Active learning is learning by playing and moving. The possibility to use imagination inspires children to try, get information, study and research. You can always combine playing, moving and studying. The children are more motivated and can experience joy of learning and succeeding.
In this video the boys are learning mathematics by playing.
Children can angle also behind the folding screen. The topic can be anything besides mathematics. Here the pupils are learning compound words.

The company Finnish Active Learning and the designers of the courses and lectures
We are Finnish class teachers Teija Kauppi, Master of Arts (Education), and Eija Leskinen, Master of Arts (Education), a drama educator and a non-fiction writer. We have trained teachers as well as instructors. Action-based learning has been a part of our pedagogy for out entire teaching careers. We have observed that it motivates and enthuses students to learn. The adoption of new topics can be made easier and more meaningful and fun when it happens through playing and moving. We hope that our courses and lectures inspire and encourage more and more teachers and parents to try some action-based teaching methods. For those for whom activity is already a part of their teaching, we want to share new ideas for cheering up the school days.
Finnish Active Learning is the name of our company. We plan active learning courses for teachers and parents teaching children aged 3-12. Finnish Active Learning is a digital material full of versatile ideas utilizing different learning environments and versatile equipment and materials.There are also plenty of printable materials, art and craft ideas and lectures of various topics.
