ckweyant Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 the teaching technique that revolves around a child's particular interest in something, i.e., horses, cars, etc.? After homeschooling my ds last year I decided to put him (for the first time) in p.s. (8th grade). He did great in the few subjects that he was interested in, but failed in the others. He is now back home. He has a difficult time remembering things minute by minute, unless he is interested (fishing, shooting guns, crime shows). I don't know much about ADD, but I don't think that he has that, he's just a 13 yo boy that has low self esteem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hsmamainva Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Not sure if there's one particular name for it. Unit studies comes to mind. Also child-led learning .. interest-led learning ... or even unschooling would also fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
periwinkle Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I've also seen it called delight-directed learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
