EARLY CHILDHOOD SCIENCE EDUCATION: STATE OF THE ART AND PERSPECTIVES
Journal Title: Journal of Baltic Science Education - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
The last twenty-five years have seen an increase in the development of an area of educational research and implementation which is known internationally as Early Childhood Science Education. In fact, this is a broad framework within which different theoretical trends coexist with corresponding research orientations and fields of teaching applications. These trends converge in an effort to study the mechanisms of initiation of children aged 4-8 years into the properties of the materials and objects and into the phenomena and concepts of Natural Sciences.
