"One method of measuring IQ is the cross-modal transfer - ability to generalise from one sensory or motor modality to another is another skill that predicts later intelligence. One year old who can visually recognise a toy that were previously allowed to touch but not actually see (it is inside a box) tend to score higher on later IQ test than babies who can't seem to make this mental transfer." - Lise Eliot, author of the book "Early Intelligence"

Example of how a child can learn from integrated learning
The main objective of this 3-in-1 integrated learning can be explained by the following example:

The child listens to the song from CD: "Row, row, row your boat" - she remembers the music and its association to the word boat + listen to the sound of the word boat

Then she watches the video: the segment that relates to the row your boat song, and now knows how the boat will looks like

Then she touch/play with the Card: associating to what she see and listen before. By following the tips and the activities that is behind the Learning Cards, she will know more about the other attributes of the word boat (learning the characteristic of the subject matter.)

By using all her senses, she will then able to form a richer experience of the word - boat

See the above example in action!




Q: The purpose of Integrated Learning?

The purpose of integrated learning is to help children make connections between what they know and what they are learning and to help them remember what they have learned.

Young children are less likely to remember isolated bits of information than information linked to prior knowledge. The content in the 3-in-1 Integrated Learning VCD Set is therefore set out to provide a tool for parents to help the child in her integrated learning capability.

 

Q: What does Integrated Learning approach aim to do?

The human brain learns through experience. The brain's first contact with the world is through the senses. So learning must engage our senses (for example: sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste, and movement).

These are naturally activated by physical interactions that the baby has with the world. At the basic level, parents/caretakers provide experiences that have the baby can interact with knowledge in ways that are concrete and physical.

Based on a physical experience, parents/caretakers can help the baby identifies physical attributes of something using descriptions (size, color, dimension), object (draw, mold, shape, build) and helping the baby create a model of something they need to master.

This integrated approach allows the child to

  •  Learn about a new subject in multiple ways (listen; watch, touch)
  •  Remember the subject for a longer period of time
  •  Recall the subject creatively through many means
  •  Experience about the subject in much greater depth


Note: Some of the images (in flashcard & videos) are of toys, not the actual object or animals. The objective is to expose the child to objects that he sees commonly & to teach them patterning and the understanding that the same object that can appear in many different forms.

Learning Cards are laminated with a glossy finish to protect the baby and has made it easy to keep clean.

Each card has been labeled. Parents can therefore ungrouped & regrouped them easily and arrange them according to some logic of the moment. Good for the imagination play!
