Abstract:
Play is an effective approach to engaging children in learning as an alternative to traditional lecturing. The Learning through Play (LtP) approach involves various modes of learning participation, including multi-sensory participation, interpersonal interaction, and hands-on operation, which can effectively motivate children to learn. This study implemented an LtP pilot survey in several first-tier cities of China, which included questionnaires and interviews. The results present the basic ecology of LtP in China, LtP effects on children's multimodal learning. We found that LtP has gained great popularity, both conceptually and practically, in China. LtP stakeholders recognize the behavioral, cognitive, and affective effectiveness of LtP for children's learning. The factors influencing the effectiveness of LtP include its structural weaknesses, the subjects involved, the environment, and culture. This study provides a reference for promoting the theory and practice of children's multimodal learning with a playful approach.
