Preschool and Data Science: Supporting STEM Learning and Teaching with Hands-On Materials, Narratives, and a Digital Tool
This paper describes a small, quasi-experimental, mixed method study investigating teacher and child outcomes for a preschool data science intervention condition compared to a business-as-usual comparison condition. The intervention included both hands-on activities and a free digital tool called the Preschool Data Toolbox to engage young children in foundational data science activities. The intervention activities aligned with a learning bluepri…
Powering Up Preschool Science: A Home–School–Community Partnership to Support Science Learning with a Focus on Emergent Multilingual Learners
All children, including emergent multilingual learners (EMLs), are primed to engage with science from an early age. Yet preschool educators traditionally have not been offered in-depth professional learning (PL) in science, how to teach it effectively to young EMLs, and how to communicate its importance to families. This quasi-experimental study investigated a partnership model designed to engage early educators, children’s families, informal sci…
Data collection and analysis for preschoolers: An engaging context for integrating mathematics and computational thinking with digital tools
Collecting and organizing data to understand and answer real-world questions is an increasingly important skill in our current world. Fostering data collection and analysis (DCA) skills in young children leverages key mathematics skills as well as the data representation, visualization, and interpretation skills of computational thinking (CT), culminating in a problem-solving approach with data. As such, the intervention, comprising investigation…
Exploring Preschool Data Collection and Analysis: A Pilot Study
Data collection and analysis (DCA) skills apply mathematical knowledge, such as counting, sorting, and classifying, to investigations of real-world questions. This pursuit lays the foundation for learners to develop flexible problem-solving skills with data. This pilot study tested a preschool intervention intended to support teachers in promoting young children’s DCA skills using a technology-integrated approach. A key component therein was a te…
Fear of Cancer Progression and Death Anxiety in Survivors of Advanced Colorectal Cancer: A Qualitative Study Exploring Coping Strategies and Quality of Life
This study aimed to examine coping strategies used by advanced colorectal cancer (CRC-A) survivors to manage death anxiety and fear of cancer progression, and links between these strategies and quality of life (QoL), distress, and death acceptance. Qualitative semi-structured interviews of 38 CRC-A survivors (22 female) were analysed via framework analysis. QoL and distress were assessed through the FACT-C and Distress Thermometer. Eleven themes …
Adding family math to the equation: Promoting Head Start preschoolers’ mathematics learning at home and school
Differences in children's mathematics knowledge are evident at kindergarten entry, favoring children who have greater access to economic resources. Fostering preschoolers’ mathematics learning at home and in classroom settings, through games and other developmentally appropriate activities, is of great interest to educators, early childhood leaders, and policymakers. This cluster randomized trial examined the effects of a naturalistic, game-based…
Plaints soient les Indiens du cosmos: Perspectives amérindiennes sur le programme spatial des États-Unis
Alors que, depuis les années 1960, les États-Uniens puisent dans la culture amérindienne dans l'espoir de redonner un sens à leur vie dans une société matérialiste, le programme spatial de la NASA reflète une cosmologie et un ethos auxquels se heurte la cosmologie zuni. Loin de la compréhension occidentale de l'espace comme un ensemble de corps inanimés, celle-ci témoigne notamment d'une vision englobante de l'individu dans l'univers, lequel comp…
