There are many theories for the education of children; for example Cognitive Development theory, Behavioral / Environmental theory and Constructivist theory.
This model involves direct learning by "doing." The concept is old, as Aristotle said: "The things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them." The formal theory was first proposed by psychologist David Kolb: learning is "the process by which knowledge is created through the transformation of experience.
Knowledge results from the combinations of taking and transforming the experience. "It focuses on how experience, environmental factors and emotions influence the learning process. In addition, certain skills are necessary: active participation in the experience, ability to reflect, analyze, decision-making and application of knowledge acquired in problem solving This theory was later validated by the work of Sir John Whitmore.
It is a powerful educational tool by motivating children to actively participate in their learning. Children can "put on each other's shoes", wear a suit and tools and make decisions about their character. Many experts believe that this learning stays more in children than traditional teaching.
Among the benefits children receive in their development are:
The role play involves the child both in learning and with life. It increases the child's understanding of the world in which he lives while developing personal skills that will help him in his later development.
