At Singapore’s Ramakrishna Mission Sarada Kindergarten in Bartley, children as young as five years old have started to take the lead in creating their own short films using stop-motion animation.
This technique of using technology to stimulate learning and creation was initiated by teacher Chuah Guat Han, 27. She said: “This helps pupils with logical thinking and many soft-skill techniques, such as being able to take turns and work as a team.
“Gradually, as teachers, we take a more hands-off approach and allow the children to discuss and decide on the next move. This facilitates discussion and they are now in charge of their own learning.”
More than 500 children from the kindergarten have created their own animations through the programme, which has been conducted for two years.
