I am talkign about what factors affect the way children learn.

Have been talking about AGE/GENDER/ EMOtional factors, linguistically.

I am really stuck on the intelligence bit.

How does it affect the way they learn.

What can I say, pls help.

come on someone must be reading this, go on give me your thoughts. Please please please.

In what context....explain more..

No need more info. Bright children might be bored in the class if not given challenging work. Some might be slow delevopers but with care can catch up!

well i know a key influence about how a child learns is to do with thier age and ability. I have to talk about how creativity, age, gender and emotional factors affect it.

Will type the question bit:

Teh key factos which affect the way children/pupils learn including age,gender,physical intellectual, linguistic and social.

Thats all I have.

the book is not much help either hence why i have come on here for help.

Sorry bump for you. maybe later a lecture might be on line. Moondog etc.. are very bright

Intellectual bit: variance on the use of imagination, stimulation, creativity in play??? ie. a more 'intellectual' child may delve deeper into imaginary scenarios and gain more of a learning experience, 'what ifs' etc, with more 'sophisicated' play...???
I am probably talking rubbish though.

MrsSeanBean My boys bright then lovely. It's not because he plays with girls all day.

Now I'm going to pose a question How does being left handed effect children?

I would google the author Helen Bee, she has written a book called The Developing Child which explores theories of child development etc.

Influences from home. If they see Mum with a book in the bath, they'll associate reading with pleasure etc. If parents challenge them - "Why do you think the pink Power Ranger is rubbish? She might be pink but she's very clever" they'll learn they have to justify their beliefs and that will help with the cognitive processes, and verbal reasoning skills.

Definitely include something about home influences - number of children in the family, birth order, influence of extended family.

Factors such as whether there is a family history of working or non-working. In the school where I work, some of the children come from families where no-one has worked for the last 3 generations. This definitely has an effect on self-esteem, support for home learning, attitude to learning etc.
