Romero-Abrio, Ana; Ramos-Alonso, Raquel; Hurtado-Bermúdez, Santiago – European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 2021
Science competencies acquired at early years are basic and influence on children's later development. Gender differences in these early science competencies may explain the often-reported gender differences in later science abilities. Research in this field was not usually focused on pre-schoolers. In this study, we focus on the interaction…
