Answer to Question 1

Research has shown that young children profit socially, emotionally, and cognitively from free play experiences of all types.

Answer to Question 2

Bruner was a proponent of discovery learning, which is where children are confronted with problems and teachers help them seek solutions, either independently or through group discussions. Bruner argues that particular critical outcomes, such as being able to discover how ideas relate to each other and to our existing knowledge and to solve problems, are the essence of education and are best accomplished through personal discovery.
