Are Your Students ‘Can Do Explorers’?

By Dr Charles Margerison, Psychologist, Amazing People Worldwide

Education Applications

In discussion with primary-level teachers, they have indicated their plans to include introducing more lessons that focus more on:

  • Active learning.
  • Group discussion learning.
  • Intercultural learning.
  • Creative exploration learning.
  • Developing individual strengths learning.

These all relate to the principle that proactive students are ‘can do explorers’. It is a process based on experiential learning, where students learn with and from other students.

To support this, a series of resources called Can Do Kids Worldwide has been created. 

This educational resource enables students to visit countries virtually by following the Can Do Kids Band. This is a group of five animated teenage musicians from India, South Africa, Australia, China and the USA. In their travel explorations, they learn about people and places, as well as the music and art of each country.

Interviews with teachers who have used the Can Do Kids Worldwide resource in their classrooms in the UK, Indonesia, South Africa, India, the Philippines, the USA and other countries indicate positive, high-level “can do” student attitudes and learning. These include:

Conversation Skills

Students develop a broader perspective and become more confident discussing geography, environmental issues and ways of life in other countries.

Self-development

Students develop self-confidence in their abilities to contribute to small group discussions and present information and ideas.

Cooperation

Students learn about teamwork and how working together can lead to something greater than their individual efforts.

Information Skills

Using the Explorer’s Guide on the website, students become more interested in searching for information about the country they are studying.

Intercultural Learning

Students become more curious about and understanding of fellow students whose families are from another country.

Classroom Lessons

Teachers have utilised the Can Do Kids Worldwide educational resources in various ways. Here are some short video interviews with teachers that provide helpful guidelines.

Summary

Can Do Kids Worldwide is a practical way to help primary-level students learn about people and places in a proactive and positive manner. The feedback from teachers is that the students are highly engaged and interested. Therefore, they are self-motivated to visit a country via the Explore’s Guide.

This helps students become conversant with the geography, environment, customs, music, dance, art and other features of the country they visit.
