Toys and Games

 

Toys and games are synonymous with PLAY. Almost everyone likes to play and such a desire continues throughout an individuals life. Psychologists inform us that play is not just a filling in of an empty period, or just a relaxation or leisure activity, but it is an important learning experience. For example, babies play with their fingers and toes and in so doing bring about a social interaction with adults who join in their game with them. As the baby develops this same form of play is extended to assist the child towards numerary.

In this modern age of computers, computer games have become a major software component. It is argued that children rapidly learn how to operate the computer through exposure to games since they are motivated to do so. If this argument is accepted then we have a concrete example of learning through play. In terms of technology, the additions available to the basic computers to extend their range is again a learning experience for children, who often wish to extend the range of their computer to perform more complex games. In stimulating the child through computer games we may see the benefit in the classroom and laboratory when the youngsters progress to learning science as specialisations in the later years of secondary education.

By introducing them to science and technology through familiar and enjoyable experiences their appetites may be whetted to continue their learning via out-of-school education programmes and thereby become more useful to the community as a whole.
