Pedagogue’s approach to the definition of shyness and shy children

The aim of the study is to investigate the pedagogue’s approach and the definition of shyness and shy children, how their approach could affect the children’s learning and development. The study analyzes how the pedagogue’s meets the children and how they are applied to improve the children’s learning and development.

The theoretical perspective of the study is based on Daniel Stern’s Developmental psychology. The methods used in the study was observing children in group and qualitative methods with interviews of the pedagogues.

The result indicates that the pedagogues has some awareness about the definition of shyness and the shy children. It has to be a bigger awareness about what signals you tend to give the children even though you do not have that in mind. 

The pedagogue’s had good working strategies and approached the work the same way. They also insisted about working with children in smaller groups and worked on trying to prevent children from having low self-esteem.
