Educational Strategies to Promote Learning Interest among Preschool Children

Abstract

Educators generally agree that students learn from intrinsic motivations, such as expanding knowledge and enhancing skills. This is why stimulating childrens automatic nature to learn and fostering interest in learning in young children has become a key topic of exploration for educators. However, there is still a gap in the academic community as to whether many of the learning strategies that have been experimentally proven to be effective apply to young children aged 3 to 6 years. This study is based on exploring strategies that are appropriate for fostering interest in learning in this age group, using authoritative, academically recognized repositories such as Google Scholar as a source of data and using literature Search Procedures to screen educational experiments. According to this review, gamified learning activities and the use of educational Apps can help children increase their interest in learning. However, parental support is needed for these strategies to work positively in practice, including guidance on content selection and manipulative skills. Otherwise, the use of these strategies can hurt childrens motivation and psychological well-being.
