The complexity of gear concepts, often misunderstood by young children, highlights the need for educational frameworks beyond simple play. To examine the effects of using the prediction, observation, and explanation (POE) model in building block activities, a true experimental design was implemented. A total of 49 preschoolers were randomly…

Direct linkSamantha Bergmann; Tiffany Kodak – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2024
Parity is one source of automatic reinforcement that increases the probability of verbal behavior that conforms to models provided by the verbal community. Parity as a conditioned reinforcer could explain the acquisition of grammar in the absence of direct, explicit reinforcement. This possibility has been explored in previous research on…

Blum, Caleigh; Taylor, Amy – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2022
Children are very curious about the world around them. You may find them peering at tadpoles in a pond, counting ants on a log, or wondering about the stars, the sun, and the moon. I have been asked many times: Is the moon really made of cheese? Do astronauts live on the moon? Why does the moon look different every time I look up? Introducing…

Amelia Wenk Gotwals; Tanya S. Wright; Arianna Pikus; Blythe E. Anderson; Lisa Domke – Elementary School Journal, 2025
Teaching that supports children in scientific sensemaking emphasizes discourse that prioritizes children's ideas and supports children in engaging in disciplinary practices. However, supporting science talk requires skillful instruction, and without support, teachers may find it challenging to engage our youngest students in rich discussions. In…

Professional Development (PD) can be a powerful lever for improving the quality of teacher-child interactions in early childhood education and care (ECEC) and teachers' feelings of support and competence. However, there is a dearth of studies examining different formats of PD and their links with workplace features. The present study aims to…

Mertala, Pekka – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
To be able to support young children in learning to learn--an ability that requires adapting often-unprecedented changes in society--teachers need to be aware of the ways in which children understand learning. In this qualitative study, 177 micro-interviews conducted with 41 Finnish children were analysed using an abductive method to understand…

Daniela Pahome – Romanian Review of Geographical Education, 2023
This study explores the importance of scientific observation in primary education, highlighting how the use of observation sheets can facilitate the acquisition of knowledge and the development of students' observation skills. In the research, 153 second-grade students were divided into three experimental groups, each group observing a woody plant…

Terri L. Gray Johnson – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Limited research exists on the factors that contribute to community college students' development of self-efficacy (SE) while serving as preservice teachers (PSTs) during their early childhood education (ECE) practicum. This lack of research is concerning because educators who have high SE enhance the educational well-being of all children. The…

Moore, Hilde Terese Drivenes; Trysnes, Irene – Journal of Information Literacy, 2021
This study investigates how children can develop information literacy (IL) skills even before they learn how to read and write. In the project we used a combination of participatory observation and action research-inspired trialling of digital tools. Kindergarteners were given iPads and access to the app Book Creator to create their own digital…

Verdun, Victoria R.; Chiasson, Brittany A.; Fienup, Daniel M. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2020
Little research has examined the intersection of derived relations and observational learning, which may be an avenue by which an instructor can increase the total amount of learning while conserving instructional resources. In this study, we investigated this intersection in the context of teaching third-grade students…

McNerney, Karen; Carritt, Danielle; Dealey, Heather; Ladbury, Gemma – Early Child Development and Care, 2020
This paper builds on previous research which outlined the development of a framework of scientific enquiry within a play-based curriculum for early childhood. For this paper, in order to help to mediate children's observation and exploration as part of their play, we propose that practitioners need to have well-developed skills to ask open-ended…

Mykkänen, Arttu; Määttä, Elina; Järvelä, Sanna – International Journal of Early Years Education, 2016
Previous research has shown that observing peers' success in learning is important for the development of children's belief in themselves as learners. However, in research, these observations are seldom made in actual classroom learning activities. This study investigated how children explain factors that lead to their peers' successes in…
