Sixoxisana noMemoryteca: "ukudlala kuyisidingo esibalulekile sokukhula kwengane"

Zonke izinsuku zibalulekile kimi uma kukhulunywa ngobuntwana. Kepha ngoNovemba 20, iZizwe Ezihlangene zisikhumbuza ukuthi kufanele silwe futhi siqinisekise ukuthi sinikela ngemfundo nempilo enesithunzi kwabancane. Elinye lamalungelo ayisisekelo zonke izingane okufanele zibe nawo, yebo noma yebo, ukudlala. Ukuqinisekisa ukubaluleka kokudlala ebuntwaneni esinalo namuhla iqembu leMemoryteca: ongoti emidlalweni ye-neuroeducational kanye nokukhuthaza ukuqonda.

Madres Hoy: Ngabe ukudlala kubalulekile ekukhuleni okuhlangene kwezingane?

Iqembu leMemoriteca: Ukudlala kungaphezu komsebenzi, kuyisidingo esibalulekile futhi esisemqoka ngentuthuko ebalulekile yengane. Kunezifundo eziningi ezihlaziye iminikelo yokudlala zisencane zaze zaphetha ngokuthi ukudlala kusenesikhathi futhi okuhlukahlukene kunegalelo elihle kuzo zonke izici zokukhula, kuthuthukisa ukusebenza kwengqondo, ubuhlakani, ezenhlalo nezentuthuko ethinta imizwa.

MH: Ngabe ucabanga ukuthi ilungelo lezingane lokudlala liyathinteka ngesigqi somphakathi?

GM: Ngokuvamile, yebo, umphakathi wethu uphile isikhathi eside efakwe ekucindezelekeni unomphela, umphakathi oxhumene noxhumene kakhulu, okungenzeka ukuthi ukuthwalisa ngokweqile izingane ngemisebenzi yangezikhathi ezithile futhi okufuna ukuncintisana okweqile kubo uma futhi singeza okweqile kwemisebenzi. Konke lokhu kudlala indima ebalulekile futhi kuyalimaza ilungelo lemvelo lokujabulela isikhathi samahhala sokudlala. Ngenhlanhla, kunemibono eminingi evelayo exwayisa ngesidingo sokucabanga ngesidingo selungelo lokudlala lezingane.

MH: Ezinye izikhungo zemfundo zenza isono ngokubaluleka okukhulu ngekhanda. Ungakwazi yini ukufunda imiqondo ngokudlala?

GM: Vele siyakwenza, ikakhulukazi uma sidlala imidlalo yokukhohlisa. Ithimba lethu lochwepheshe lihlola futhi lihlaziye inani elikhulu lokuhlangenwe nakho ngemidlalo ezikhungweni zemfundo kanye nesipiliyoni sethu nalokho esikuthola nakubachwepheshe bezemfundo esisebenza nabo nesisebenzisana nabo kusikhombisa ukuthi umsebenzi wokukhohlisa ungumsizi omkhulu wezemfundo.

Incazelo yalokhu kufunda inengqondo yayo. Ngokusebenzisa umdlalo njengemoto yokufunda, ubanikeza ukuxhumana okuqondile nokukhohlisayo ukuzwa ngqo. Siyazi ukuthi umdlalo uvusa imizwa nemizwelo ehlanganisa ukufunda futhi ngenxa yalokho sihlala sithambekele ekukhumbuleni kangcono lokho okuhilelekile ngokomzwelo.

MH: Imaphi amakhono namakhono angakhuthazwa ngokudlala?

GM: Ukudlala kubalulekile ngoba kwandisa ukusebenza kobuchopho ngokuthuthukisa izinqubo ezibandakanyeka ekufundeni: ukunaka, inkumbulo, amakhono akhayo, ubuciko kanye nokucabanga. Ukudlala usemncane kunikeza ugqozi, kusiza ukuthuthukisa ukucabanga okujulile, Ukucabanga ngokuxazulula izinkinga, kukhuthaza ilukuluku, kuvumela ukufunda okusebenzayo, kuthuthukisa ubuhlakani kanye nomcabango ngokuvuselela ikhono lokwenza ngcono nokuxazulula izinselelo ngobuciko. Kuyindlela enhle futhi yokukhuthaza amakhono ezenhlalo ngokuxhumana nabadlali odlala nabo abasebenza ngemfundo yezemizwa, ukuxhumana, inkhulumomphendvulwano, ukuzithiba kanye ukubekezelela ukukhungatheka.

MH: UKhisimusi uyeza, ukubuyekezwa okungcono komsebenzi wesikole noma imidlalo ye-neuroeducational evuselela ukufunda?

 GM: Uma sinikezwa ukukhetha, kusobala ukuthi sikhetha imidlalo, kepha kungumbono wethu, ngaso sonke isikhathi sihlonipha izinketho nezinhlanganisela ezahlukahlukene ezingaba khona ecaleni ngalinye. EMemoryteca sicabanga ukuthi imidlalo ivumela ngokuphelele hlanganisa ukufunda nobumnandi nokuningi uma sibheka ukuthi amaholidi kaKhisimusi amafushane futhi sivumela ikhefu ezibophweni nasemisebenzini yekota edlule. Ukudlala nakho kungafunda nokunye okuningi kunalokho esingakucabanga, kumayelana nokwazi ukukhetha imidlalo efanelekile.

Ukudlala kuyindlela yokufunda ebuchosheni yethu. Izindlela zobuchopho ezingokwemvelo ezinganeni ziyazivumela, noma zinezinyanga ezimbalwa ubudala, ukuthi zifunde ngokudlala. Kunengqondo ukuthi ukuhlanganisa izifundo zezibalo noma zolimi nemidlalo ekhethiwe ngokukhethekile kuyinto ekhuthazayo nejabulisa abafundi.

MH: Yiziphi izinzuzo ukudlala mahhala kunemidlalo ye-neuroeducational futhi okuphambene nalokho?

GM: Asikholwa ukuthi noma yikuphi kwalokhu okubili kunezinzuzo kunezinye, ngoba zombili ziyahambisana futhi ziyadingeka.

MH: Ezingeni elingokomzwelo nelomuntu siqu, yiziphi izinzuzo ingane engaba nazo ngokudlala?

GM: Abaningi, kufaka phakathi ukusetshenziswa kwemidlalo ethile, bazothuthukisa amandla abo okuqonda nangokomzwelo ngaphandle kwengcindezi, ngokudlala, ngoba siyazi ukuthi umdlalo unikeza injabulo nokwaneliseka, uthanda ukukhishwa kwengxabano futhi uvumele zwakalisa ngokushelelayo, imizwa nemizwa. Futhi kukhulisa ukuzimela kwabo, amandla okuxazulula izinkinga, ukuzethemba kwabo kanye nokwenza ngcono ubudlelwano phakathi kwabantu ngokwabelana ngesipiliyoni somdlalo.

MH: Kunezikole ezibheja ekufundeni okususelwa kumdlalo futhi zithola imiphumela emihle, ucabanga ukuthi lokhu kubangelwa yini?

GM: Iqiniso ukuthi imiphumela emihle kakhulu yezikole ezinikele ekufundeni okususelwa kumdlalo, siyazi futhi sihlala ngokusondelene kakhulu njengoba sisebenzisana futhi sisebenza nabaningi babo, kithina kube yimiphumela engalindeleka selokhu kwethulwe izinhlelo zemidlalo ezikoleni inikeza indawo ekahle, igqugquzela izingane, ithathe ukunaka kwabo, ibanikeze indawo emnandi, emnandi futhi ebashukumisayo, ngoba bafunda ngendlela ejabulisayo nehlukile, bayazama, bahlole futhi benze amaphutha ajwayelekile ngoba bayawavumela ukuthuthuka nokuthuthuka futhi lokho kuba ukwaneliseka okukhulu kubo.

Ukuqala komunye wemishwana yethu esiyithandayo "Ukudlala kuyindlela ekhethwayo yobuchopho bethu yokufunda" izindlela zobuchopho esizalwa nazo ezinganeni ziyazivumela, noma zinezinyanga ezimbalwa ubudala, ukuthi zifunde ngokudlala, kunengqondo ukuthi ukuhlanganisa ukufunda kwezibalo noma uLimi olunemidlalo ekhethwe ngokukhethekile ukuhlanganisa nokwenza inkambiso yokufunda ethile iyashukumisa futhi ijabulise abafundi, ngoba lapho izingane zidlala ubuchopho bazo buya “kumodi yokufunda”, ezivumela ukuba zithokoze ngenkathi zifunda.

Siyazi ukuthi lapho izingane zidlala zikhipha i-dopamine eningi, i-dopamine ingumvuzo wobuchopho futhi yenza izifunda zokufunda ziyasebenza. Ngakho-ke, noma ikuphi ukufunda okwenziwa ngokudlala kuzokhiqiza ukuxhumana okunamandla nokuhlala njalo kobuchopho okuzosiza ukuqiniswa kwayo.

MH: Imfundo ngamanani ngemidlalo, ucabanga ukuthi kungenzeka?

GM: Ngokusobala, ngokususelwa kukho konke esike sakuphawula phambilini, umdlalo uyindlela ekhethiwe yokufunda ebuchosheni bethu, futhi uma umdlalo othile usekelwe ekufundiseni ngamanani. Emakethe kunemidlalo ethile yokufundisa ngamagugu, ngisho nemidlalo yokubambisana, sinezindlela ezifanele zokufundisa izingane ngamagugu, ngoba lowo mlayezo esizozama ukuwudlulisela kubo uzohlanganiswa ngendlela ephumelela kakhulu.

MH: Izingane ziyajabula uma zidlala. Ngabe kulula ukufunda ngendlela emnandi nejabulisayo?

GM: Njalo, futhi sizokuchaza ngesibonelo esiyisisekelo. Akekho ubaba noma umama ofundisa izingane zakhe ukukhuluma nezincwadi ezinokuqukethwe okuyimithetho ye-syntax nohlelo lolimi, zikwenza lokho ngokwemvelo, zabelana ngamava, imizwa, zikhuluma ngqo nezingane zazo, zicula izingoma, zifunde izindaba futhi zidlale nazo, zale Theory and umkhuba usifundisa ukuthi kulula kakhulu ukukufunda ngendlela engokwemvelo, emnandi futhi ejabulisayo.

MH: Babaluleke kangakanani abazali emdlalweni wezingane?

GM: Siphakamisa ukuthi bonke abazali abafunde le ngxoxo benze isivivinyo:

Ngelinye ilanga bahlala phansi emakhaya benomdlalo ovulekile phambi kwabo, bengashongo lutho ezinganeni zabo, belindile… futhi babone ukuthi izingane zabo ziphendula kanjani. Sizamile kaningi futhi isigcawu esifanayo siphindaphindwa njalo, izingane zingasho lutho zizohumusha ukuthi abazali bazo zibamema ngobumnene ukuthi bazodlala, ukuthi babuke ubuso babo benjabulo nokwaneliseka futhi bazobheka izingane sengathi ngomlingo Bazoqhubeka nokuhlala phansi phambi kwabo bese beqala ngaphandle kwegama ukusebenzisana nokudlala nabo. Lokho kuyisibonakaliso esicacile futhi esiqondile sokubaluleka kwezingane ekuhumusheni ukuthi abazali bazo bazinika isikhathi sokudlala nazo. Lokho empeleni yilokho zonke izingane ezifuna ukuthi abazali bazo, abazinika ingxenye yesikhathi sabo, bazizwe bethandwa, behlonishwa futhi bephephile emizameni yabo yokufunda nokuthola umhlaba ngenkathi bedlala nokuningi uma kukhulunywa ngokukwenza nabazali babo.

EMemoryteca sikuqinisekisile ukuthi abazali bathonya ngqo okuningi kunalokho abakucabangayo ekukhuleni kwezingane zabo uma bebandakanyeka emidlalweni yabo, futhi ngenxa yalesi sizathu senze iphrojekthi entsha ebhekiswe emindenini, i- “Toolbox Memoryteca Kids”, a indlela ekhethekile yemindeni equkethe ukukhethwa okukhethekile kwemidlalo ye-neuroeducation ehambisana nendlela eyenziwe iqembu lethu lochwepheshe beMemoryteca. “I-Toolbox Memoryteca Kids” sizoyethula maduze kwiwebhusayithi yethu ngalo Khisimusi ozayo.

Le phrojekthi entsha neyangempela, eyingqayizivele emhlabeni, iyindlela yokukhuthaza imisebenzi yokuqonda yezingane ngochungechunge lwemidlalo ekhethiwe futhi efanele iminyaka, ikakhulukazi iminyaka emi-3, 4 nengu-5. Le phrojekthi ukuzibophezela kwethu ngokomuntu siqu nangobungcweti ekunikezeni abazali impahla engajwayelekile, isipho sesikhathi sezingane zabo esisebenza ukuqinisa izibopho zabo zemizwa ngokudlala ngendlela ekhethekile futhi ngasikhathi sinye sinikeza izingane zabo i-neurolearning emnandi ezokwanda ukuxhumana kwakho kwe-neural. EMemoryteca sisebenzela ukuvusa umuzwa ongajwayelekile ezinganeni futhi ngaleyo ndlela sikwazi ukuthola amagugu angalindelekile kuzo.

MH: Awusaziboni izingane eziningi kangaka zidlala emapaki nasezikweleni.Yiziphi izizathu ezingachaza lokhu?

GM: Sikhulume ngakho phambilini, ingcindezi, ukungabi nesikhathi, ukukhathazeka ngokweqile kanye nengcindezi yomphakathi yokuba namadodana ethu namadodakazi ethu abe matasa unomphela ngemisebenzi yangezinye izikhathi kufakwe enanini elikhulu lomsebenzi wesikole okuthi kwezinye izimo abanayo ngaphandle kwamahora okufunda kwenza Ukuntuleka kwesikhathi sokunikela kubo kubavimbela ukujabulela amapaki nezikwele, ikakhulukazi uma behlala emadolobheni amakhulu.

MH: Ungakwazi ukulawula imizwa yakho ngokusebenzisa imidlalo?

GM: Yebo, umdlalo unikeza amathuba amakhulu okukhuthaza ukuguquguquka kwengqondo. Ukuguquguquka kwengqondo kuyadingeka ukuxazulula izinkinga nokuphatha imizwa ngoba kuyikhono elisivumela ukuthi sishintshe sisuke komunye umqondo siye komunye futhi sibekezelele izinguquko.

MH: "Angikasitholi isikhathi sokudlala ngoba ngibe nemisebenzi eminingi." Ucabangani ngalelo binzana?

GM:Kulusizi kakhulu ukuzwa le nkulumo ngoba izingane zibona umhlaba ngemizwa, ngokudlala nangothando. Uma singakwazi ukukusiza, ukukhula kwengane kungahle kungafinyeleli lapho kugcwele khona.

MH: Futhi ekugcineni, ucabanga ukuthi abantu abadala bakudlala phansi ukubaluleka kwesikhathi sokudlala sezingane?

GM: Yebo, impela ezikhathini eziningi kunje, yize kungenjalo ngaso sonke isikhathi ngenhlanhla. Uma sizinza kulo mqondo, ukudlala phansi isikhathi sokudlala kungathinta okungaphezu kwalokho esikucabangayo ekwakhekeni nasekukhuleni ngokomzwelo kwezingane.

Ngiyethemba uyijabulele ingxoxo ekhethekile yoSuku Lwezingane! U-Eva noPasqual, ababambisene noMemoryteca babona ukuthi izinhlobo ezifanayo zemidlalo ezazizuzise izingane zabo kakhulu zingadlalwa nezinye izingane zinobunzima bokufunda noma zingenabo futhi babheja ngakho. Futhi babheja ngakho ngoba ukugembula, njengoba ngishilo ngaphambili, kufanele kube ilungelo eliyisisekelo yebo noma yebo ebuntwaneni.
