Playful Learning and Skills Improvement

Abstract

Learning is essential throughout human life. Accordingly, teachers and educators seek ways to strengthen learning. The use of play in the learning process seems to promote learning. Therefore, this research attempts to study how the integration of play in the learning process favors skills upgrading, using the quantitative research method and in particular the questionnaire. The sample consists of primary, secondary teachers and adult educators. In its context, variations in the attitudes of the participants in the sample arise, as regards their gender, the level of education, in which they work, and the years of service in it. The research results are in line with existing literature confirming the contribution of play to the improvement of skills and underline the need for further research and sensitization of the educational community so that it forms an integral part of the educational process, from formal up to adult education.
