Levels of Representation. Part I: Experience with Real Objects: The Object Level and The Index Level.
Nederveld, Patricia; Thomson, Carole
The purpose of this sequence of a working paper intended for inclusion in a curriculum manual to be published in the future, is to provide the child with concrete experience, opportunities to represent things symbolically, and to learn the nature of symbols and how to read them. Examining objects, acting them out, and experimenting with them, the child learns to make representations. By feeling, smelling, watching and describing, as well as dealing with real objects, the child's understanding is increased. At Object Level, children use real objects and places, while at Index Level, a child is helped to remember the whole object, given only one aspect or part of it, and uses his own mental images.
