Child as learner with agency: Children who are viewed as learners with agency are able to fully participate in their own learning. They are perceived as capable and competent, as active co-constructors of knowledge rather than passive recipients of information.
Self-efficacy: According to Bandura, self-efficacy refers to children’s perceptions of themselves as learners and their sense of their own capabilities and ability to master experiences and control their environment.
100 languages: One of the founders of the Reggio Emilia approach, Loris Malaguzzi, argued that children express and demonstrate their understandings using a hundred different languages or forms of representation (textual, visual, digital, etc.).
