Active learning processes Thinking Children think and enquire by generating and discussing ideas and plans and solving problems. Becoming aware Exploring Making connections Applying With explicit support, the child identifies problems and randomly experiments with ways to find personal solutions to problems. With support, the child uses a small range of thinking strategies, and experiments with ways to solve problems in familiar situations. With prompts, the child draws on their own experiences to identify relevant thinking strategies, and plans ways to solve problems in familiar situations. The child uses and discusses a small range of thinking strategies and solves problems individually or collectively in a range of familiar situations. Investigating the natural world Children think and enquire by: investigating their ideas about phenomena in the natural world developing shared understandings about these phenomena. Becoming aware Exploring Making connections Applying With explicit support, the child observes familiar natural phenomena and comments on them. With support, the child investigates familiar natural phenomena and discusses personal ideas about them. With prompts, the child investigates and describes their own and others’ ideas about the natural world and phenomena. The child investigates and makes predictions about familiar natural phenomena, and discusses personal and shared understandings about group investigations. Investigating technology Children think and enquire by investigating technology and considering how it affects everyday life. Becoming aware Exploring Making connections Applying With explicit support, the child talks about the technologies (ICTs, products, processes etc.) that they randomly explore in the learning environment. With support, the child experiments with different technologies and talks about some of the purposes they serve at home or in the learning environment. With prompts, the child uses familiar technologies and talks about how these technologies help them to learn, play or live at home or in the communities. The child uses some available technologies for personal or learning needs, and talks about how these technologies might work, or help people in their communities. Investigating environments Children think and enquire by investigating features of, and ways to sustain, environments. Becoming aware Exploring Making connections Applying With explicit support, the child makes personal comments about features of their school or home environment. With support, the child investigates the features of a range of familiar environments and shares personal ideas about them. With prompts, the child investigates and compares features of familiar environments and collaborates on ways to care for them. The child investigates familiar environments and initiates simple plans to help sustain them.
