Let children take the initiative to learn, define the purpose of activities, choose the way of activities, and supervise themselves in the learning process. One of the basic characteristics of active learning is initiative, which provides children with opportunities for self-choice. The real choice is based on the child's own inner needs and interests. Intrinsic need is the stimulus of active learning, and its subjective experience form is children's learning desire and the fundamental motivation of children's learning.
Provide a learning environment to stimulate children's interest in activities and desire to explore, and whether learning can promote children's development depends on whether children's learning activities are passive learning under the guidance of adults or active learning through self-exploration in life situations. The real purpose of education is not to increase children's knowledge, but to let children actively explore and learn knowledge in an environment full of wisdom and excitement.
Providing children with the "initiative" in the controllable learning process is neither passive nor laissez-faire, but actively controlling the learning process according to their own wishes through certain learning procedures, which will play a guiding role in the follow-up learning activities, help children gradually learn to control their own behaviors, learn to control environmental stimuli, and let children take responsibility for the learning activities they are interested in.
Help children gain successful experience and improve their sense of self-efficacy. If children take the initiative to learn, the key is to make them willing to learn and let them feel the joy of success, progress and development. Let them get the motivation of learning from the learning activity itself.
