E-Learning ‘helps to develop autonomous and organized study skills’ (Otero et al, 2015). This being the case, through inductive learning in session 1- counting story and progression through guided learning in session 2- Scratch game; autonomy will be encouraged and supported towards the independent Kahoot task in session 3- Quiz, where learning will be tested. Then in session 4- further independence will be expected with a little guided assistance with uploading pictures to Padlet, to create a class counting collaboration.
Cognitive skills will be developed through each of these 4 sessions activities, which offers as much flexibility as the individual child would like, for example they can involve siblings and friends during these home activities. Reflective skills will be developed and progressed while performing activities that also use creative thinking, critical thinking and metacognition. Reflection skills will be required in all activities, to develop and scaffold on their prior learning from the counting story in session 1; however reflection will be required for each activity as learning will be scaffolded through each activity onto the next. problem solving skills will be developed mostly in sessions 1,2 & 4, due to the nature of the activities. As these activities will be scaffolding learning from the previous activity, sessions 1,2 & 4 require an increase of independent thinking, as there will be provided suggestions, for example in session 4, but a different thinking perspective will be required to come up with their preferred way of counting or a different way of counting. In sessions 2 & 3, these activities will be providing a different context to prior learning, for example the structure of the counting story will look different to the Scratch game in session 2 and the Kahoot quiz in session 3. Therefore, problem solving will be developed to associate prior learning from one context into another context.
