Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Learning by doing also promotes meaningful learning but students learn better when there is a level of interest. Hence, Learning by doing is important as it creates interest among children.

Detailed explanation-2: -When students are forced to do something, they are engaged in active learning. They’re practicing their critical thinking skills and they’re putting their knowledge to the test. Most importantly, this form of learning gives opportunities for students to actively create knowledge, instead of passively consuming it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Learning by doing encourages active involvement with the available medium of information and requires you to work harder to memorize it. However, it’s a productive method because it helps you embed knowledge into your memory.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to Hidi and Renninger (2006), three factors contribute to the development of interest, this include, knowledge, positive emotion, and personal value. As individuals learn more about a topic, they become more skilled and knowledgeable.

Detailed explanation-5: -Giving positive reinforcement for good work is one of the best ways to encourage learning. When your child sees that their work is being recognized and rewarded, they can feel motivated to do anything! Giving praise, doing a sticker chart for completed work, or just playing their favorite game can go a long way.
