EARLY SCIENCE EDUCATION AND ITS RELEVANCE
Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2012, Vol 45, Issue 1

This text begins with a concern related to teacher education which will focus on early childhood education, specifically in regards into the sciences and knowledge relating to the axes undertaken to frame the curriculum of the first stage of basic schooling as nature, culture and society.

But now, it is being more discussed taking account that these children have their development in a holistic perspective (Johnston, 2009; Johnston & Tunnicliffe, 2008).
