Exploration

When we talk about this term, to explore is to experiment and discover, making it necessary to emphasize the importance of the experiment and discovery in the constructive and meaningful learning for children.

Exploration and Learning

The exploration is very important in learning because it allows to enrich children's knowledge, encourages autonomy and the habit of experiencing by themselves, increases their self-esteem and create working habits for the school and life.

The exploration is linked to cognitive development and is required to work with it at the very early ages so that children will become aware of themselves and of everything that is around them.

This is why is considered essential and important for the teacher or facilitator to promote learning experiences that enable the students to enjoy the exploration, manipulation, and discovery of new knowledge, because in this way may children obtain better results, learn, and develop new learning.
