The text is an attempt at illustrating the category “to learn with…” in three approaches: holistic, inclusive and relational. Each of them brings in interesting solutions to work with children which originate in a constructivist-humanistic approach to education. The text points out the value of communication and building relationships between a teacher and a child; the sense of play and active learning by using a problem-solving approach, motivation and children’s interest in the world.
Th e issue of the text focuses on the category of learning. The analysis of the term “learning” in the behaviouristic, humanistic and the interpretive aspects serves as a point of departure. The latter approach is exploited for further analyses in order to select the category “to learn with…”. This category is described in terms of the European Project THRIECE – Teaching for Holistic, Relational and Inclusive Early Childhood Education and presents its potential for children’s education in cognitive, emotional and social aspects.
