| Lilongwe Primary School Demonstration Teacher using real visual materials in class |
Children learn fast in an environment where they are able to visualize information. They understand better and return information when ideas and words are associated with images.
Visual learning is now the concept which Lilongwe Demonstration Primary School is embracing. Inside walls of classes from Standard 1 and 2 there are child friendly colorful paintings of diagrams. These are enabling learners to look at them when the teacher is delivering lesson related to the picture. As a result this is helping pupils to easily understand things by visualizing the lesson.
A 7 year old girl, Miracle Mustafa who comes from area 25C is in Standard 2 at Lilongwe Demonstration Primary School and says one of the things she loves being in class is to see some of the paintings in her class.
“In our class we have an umbrella and a goat. They are nice” says Miracle
DAPP Malawi through its project Let Children Stay in School supported financially by the Roger Federer Foundation introduced child friendly teaching methods at the school whereby teachers were trained to use locally available resources to make things that can be used when teaching as well to make things that can be placed in class for children to visualize when learning.
