Henry Caldwell Cook coined the term \u201cplay way\u201d method,<\/strong> in his <strong>book <\/strong><strong><em>The Play Way<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Playway Method enables children to test the ideas, find solutions to the problems, and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/ua\/blog\/what-is-informal-education\/\">learn in an informal<\/a>\r\n way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One learns subjects like language, mathematics, science, and social studies<\/strong> in the form of stories, games, songs, and activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Teachers motivate children to express themselves through play<\/strong> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/ua\/blog\/benefits-of-activity-based-learning\/#What_is_Activity-Based_Learning\">activity-based learning.<\/a>\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teachers ensure that small children get required exposure along with a supportive environment and necessary resources to reach their <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/ua\/blog\/learning-goals\/\">educational goals.<\/a>\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This <strong>eventually minimizes <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/ua\/blog\/study-stress\/\"><strong>study-stress<\/strong><\/a>\r\n and boredom,<\/strong> hence making learning a happy process that each student wants to engage in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Philosophical_Basis_of_the_Playway_Method\"><\/span>Philosophical Basis of the Playway Method<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Playway Method follows strong philosophies of progressive <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/ua\/blog\/what-is-education\/\"><strong>education<\/strong><\/a>\r\n and child psychology<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is<strong> inspired by the works of popular educational philosophers such as Jean Piaget, Friedrich Froebel, Maria Montessori,<\/strong> and <strong>John Dewey<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jean Piaget stressed the idea that children form their <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/ua\/blog\/difference-between-skill-and-knowledge\/#What_is_Knowledgenbsp\"><strong>knowledge<\/strong><\/a>\r\n consciously<\/strong> with <strong>active interaction with the surrounding world<\/strong>. To him, learning comes as an act of <strong>discovery instead of passive intake of information<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Playway Method functions with this <strong>perception as it promotes learning through exploration and experimentation <\/strong>in children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Friedrich Froebel<\/strong>, the <strong>founder of the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/ua\/blog\/preschool-vs-kindergarten\/#What_is_Kindergarten\"><strong>kindergarten<\/strong><\/a>\r\n system, had the <\/strong>belief that the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/ua\/blog\/holistic-development\/\">holistic development<\/a>\r\n of a child happens through play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>He viewed play as the natural form of learning, and<\/strong><strong> an outlet for<\/strong><strong> inner thoughts and feelings by the child<\/strong>. The Playway Method is a way of following the philosophy of Froebel as it <strong>puts plays into the center of education<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The<strong> philosophy of learning-by-doing applied by John Dewey,<\/strong> is another solid theoretical background of the playway method. <strong>Dewey <\/strong><strong>believed <\/strong><strong>that education must be related to the real-life world <\/strong>and active-involvement of the child should be the best way of learning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, the Playway Method encourages <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/ua\/blog\/what-is-experiential-learning-and-why-is-it-important\/\">experiential learning<\/a>\r\n by the use of meaningful activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, the <strong>philosophical foundations of the playway method consist of naturalism, constructivism, <\/strong>and <strong>pragmatism,<\/strong> which focus on the interests of the child, their <strong>experiences, and active-participation<\/strong> in the learning process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Objectives_of_the_Playway_Method\"><\/span>Objectives of the Playway Method<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>main objectives of playway method include a child\u2019s holistic development and engaging learning:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To boost <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/ua\/blog\/role-of-language-in-childrens-intellectual-development-and-learning\/#4_Cognitive_Thinking\">cognitive thinking,<\/a>\r\n reasoning<strong>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/ua\/blog\/problem-solving\/\"><strong>problem-solving,<\/strong><\/a>\r\n <\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/ua\/blog\/higher-order-thinking-skills\/#5_Decision-Making\">decision-making,<\/a>\r\n mental skills, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To<strong> promote creativity and imagination by means of art,<\/strong> music, narration, and dramatic play.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To <strong>enhance <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/ua\/blog\/social-skills\/\"><strong>social skills<\/strong><\/a>\r\n like cooperation, sharing, <\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/ua\/blog\/importance-of-communication-skills\/#What_are_Communication_Skills\"><strong>communication skills,<\/strong><\/a>\r\n and working with groups.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To <strong>facilitate emotional growth, <\/strong><strong>ensuring <\/strong><strong>that the children are able to express their feelings <\/strong>and develop self-esteem.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To <strong>improve physical growth by use of movement <\/strong>involved in play and outdoor playing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To <strong>accommodate differences and support <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/ua\/blog\/learning-methods\/#Other_Types_of_Learning_Styles\"><strong>different learning styles<\/strong><\/a>\r\n <\/strong>and pace of learning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To <strong>develop <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/ua\/blog\/lifelong-learning\/\"><strong>lifelong learning<\/strong><\/a>\r\n patterns <\/strong>by fostering curiosity and self-motivation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To <strong>foster a cheerful learning process through a stress-free <\/strong>and engaging learning environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The playway method achieves these goals and secures a balanced growth of children, contributing to their overall <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/ua\/blog\/holistic-development-of-children\/\">holistic child development.<\/a>\r\n It also <strong>equips students with future academic goals<\/strong> and challenges in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Principles_of_the_Playway_Method\"><\/span>5 Principles of the Playway Method<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Playway method functions based on the following principles:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Learning_by_Doing\"><\/span>1.
