Preschool-age children’s use of spatial sensemaking in science and engineering
While prior research has considered how young children’s spatial skills predict future success in science and engineering, our goal was to analyze how children take advantage of physical and embodied resources to reason spatially in everyday museum settings. We also investigated the ways young children reason spatially while constructing explanations in science and designing solutions in engineering. To do so, we gathered videos during ten scienc…
Preschool-age children’s early steps towards evidence-based explanations and modelling practices
While recent reform-based efforts have shifted the emphasis towards engaging children in science practices, little research has considered how preschool-age children take first steps towards engagement in evidence-based explanations or modelling practices nor the role museum-settings might provide. Using a theoretical perspective that science emerges through interaction as it is practiced, we analysed videos of four ∼30-min programs for 3-to-5-ye…
