Investigating Mathematics, Science and Technology in Early Childhood fjallar um hvernig ung börn byggja upp skilning á stærðfræði, náttúruvísindum og tækni í daglegum leik og rannsóknum. Bókin nálgast efnið heildstætt, tekur fyrir helstu þekkingarsvið þessara greina í samhengi leikskólastarfs og sýnir hvernig flétta má þau saman í merkingarbæra námsreynslu.

Hún veitir skýrar útskýringar og dæmi um hugtök og ferli í stærðfræði, náttúruvísindum og tækni sem hjálpa kennaranemum að byggja upp eigin fagþekkingu og mæta undirbúnir í leikskólastarf. Meðal einkenna bókarinnar eru:

  • Áhersla á aldurinn frá fæðingu til átta ára, með sérstakri athygli á fyrstu þremur árunum.
  • Námssögur með hagnýtum dæmum og frásögnum leikskólakennara sem sýna hvernig börn rannsaka hugtök í stærðfræði, náttúruvísindum og tækni.
  • Rannsóknarrammar með dæmum um rannsóknir barna og túlkun kennara á þeim, sem byggja upp fagþekkingu.
  • Gagnrýnar ígrundunarspurningar sem hvetja lesendur til að velta fyrir sér lykilatriðum, túlka dæmin og skoða eigin reynslu.
