Anis, Siti Khadijah; Masek, Alias; Nurtanto, Muhammad; Kholifah, Nur – International Journal of Evaluation and Research in Education, 2022
Non-digital games are a tool that can help children to build and improve problem solving skills in early mathematics learning. Teachers need to design a learning activity using non-digital games taken account problem solving skills in the learning activities. However, the application of problemsolving skills in early mathematics learning…

Bradley, Barbara A.; Thomas, Kelli; Bradley, A. Allen, Jr. – Science and Children, 2019
The "big bad wolf" chased the squealing children around the playground as they looked for a place to hide. Because Mr. Lòpez and Ms. Kim had introduced the work of engineers and the engineering design process into their unit on The Three Little Pigs, they knew their preschool students would choose a structure that could withstand any…

Björklund, Camilla; Ekdahl, Anna-Lena; Runesson Kempe, Ulla – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2021
We report here on an intervention implementing a structural approach to arithmetic problem-solving in relation to learning outcomes among preschoolers. Using the fundamental principles of the variation theory of learning for developing the intervention and as an analytical framework, we discuss teaching and learning in commensurable terms. The…

Ültay, Neslihan; Aktas, Banu – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2020
Although there are many examples of activities for using STEM in the preschool education, the number of studies on how these activities can be used in practice, how children can react, and what kind of products they can design are limited. The aim of this study is to implement the STEM activity called "How do I carry the eggs without…

Agustin, Mubiar; Puspita, Ryan Dwi; Inten, Dinar Nur; Setiyadi, Ruli – International Journal of Instruction, 2021
This research aims at detecting and stimulating multiple intelligences of kindergarten children early by applying collaborative action research by academics and practitioners. This research moves from the most fundamental problem in early childhood education activities especially in kindergartens namely the teachers' mistreatment in learning…

Temur, Özlem Dogan; Özsoy, Gökhan; Turgut, Sedat – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2019
An effective learning environment can be provided when teachers adopt metacognition-based teaching as a part of their course instructions. A well-developed metacognitive teaching approach can effectively develop students' problem-solving strategies. In addition to that contribution, it can provide opportunities for students to notice their own…

Cinar, Sinan – Cypriot Journal of Educational Sciences, 2019
Young boys and girls make houses and beds from cloths and cartons for their dolls, erect shelters and fences for toy animals, build ramps and garages from blocks for toy cars, and lift objects using a rope and reel for having fun. Thanks to their experiences with such design-based games, children combine science with engineering and try to…

Kultti, Anne; Pramling, Niklas – Journal of Early Childhood Literacy, 2021
In this empirical study, we analyse how five-year-old children are socialised into particular interpretive practices indicative of a literate mind. The data come from translation activities where children with their teacher listen to and then talk about how to understand the lyrics to a popular children's song. The setting is a Finnish-Swedish…

Otterborn, Anna; Schönborn, Konrad; Hultén, Magnus – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2019
The availability of digital tablets in preschools has increased significantly in recent years. Literature suggests that these tools can enhance students' literacy and collaborative skills. As society becomes increasingly digitized, preschool curriculum reform also emphasises the subjects of technology and science as priority areas of learning.…

Jung, Eunjoo; Zhang, Yue; Chiang, Jason – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2019
This study investigates kindergarten children's mathematics learning with a focus on the role of teachers' mathematics education and readiness beliefs, and home learning environment. Using structural equation modeling to estimate the individual differences in early mathematics learning, data from 5,845 kindergarteners was evaluated. Findings show…

Farrand, Kathleen M.; Oakes, Wendy Peia; Deeg, Megan T. – Science and Children, 2019
Dramatic inquiry is a teaching approach where students explore science through differentiated learning experiences, so that students can engage in learning in multiple ways (e.g., through gesture, song, written and spoken language). It positions students as competent problem solvers and draws upon students' strengths through collaborative learning…

Friedman, Arielle – Journal of Media Literacy Education, 2016
The study examines two years of an educational program for children aged three to four, based on the use of digital cameras. It assesses the program's effects on the children and adults involved in the project, and explores how they help the youngsters acquire visual literacy. Operating under the assumption that formal curricula usually…
