This article presents a ‘‘child-centered’’ model
of the teaching–learning process—the challenge kindergarten
model. The model is an attempt to deal with the
limitations of the ‘‘child-centered’’ approach without giving
up its benefits. In this model, the teachers enable the
children to direct their activities and improve their independent
learning thanks to careful planning and consistent
implementation. The model focuses on two learning-related
skills that are most likely to bring about independent
learning and two teaching strategies designed to promote
these skills. The learning-related skills are self-regulated
learning and cooperative behaviors. The integrated strategies
are allowing children to direct body-movement and
using it as an opportunity for setting up personal and group
scaffolding.
