Overview
To parents and educators, education is meant to prepare their children/students for learning. Yet many children/students have come to associate learning with an activity that takes place within the classroom environment, which is separate from the “real world”. As a result, they can be un-motivated about their studies because they do not see their meaningfulness and relevance to their daily lives. The reality is that life and the real world abound with learning opportunities! Parents can incorporate learning opportunities in their daily lives, just as educators can contextualise their learning with familiar real-life settings and activities. Thus, parents and educators can help to make learning come alive for their children/students.
