Learning and Loving It: Theme Studies in the Classroom

by Ruth Gamberg, Winniefred Kwak, Meredith Hutchings

Learning and Loving It explains what is meant by a theme studies approach to education and illustrates how it works with real case studies-descriptions of theme studies that were conducted at the award winning Dalhousie University Elementary School in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The authors explain that use of theme studies is a productive, child-centered approach to teaching that is possible in any classroom and successful with all children. While helping children develop thinking and problem solving skills, it promotes responsibility, confidence, and self-discipline through a learning process that children can actually enjoy!
