Play-Based Learning Vs. Formal Learning

In our last couple of posts we have been discussing play and play based learning. This post links to an article discussing play-based learning and formal learning for children, written by an educator and published by Early Childhood Australia, a national peak body, in their journal Every Child.

You can read the article here:

This article is very much in keeping with our approach to education at Flinders.

We would love to know what you are thinking about the role of play in children’s learning…would you like to comment?
