It argues that with guided mentoring, and later, timely support of a mentor as and when required, ECE teachers can deliver the curriculum, teach science by providing opportunities to explore and then build on children’s interest through intentionally planned activities, dialogue, and discourse. It presents a comprehensive literature review and research design including theoretical frames and methodology. It includes a chapter on teacher development and discusses different approaches to science investigations practiced by the teacher in the case study. The book provides evidence of children’s science learning and presents the findings as response to research questions. It also includes a model of teaching as inquiry in the context of early childhood education.SpringerBriefs in Education,2211-193XEducationChildrenScienceStudy and teachingTeachersTraining ofChildhood EducationScience EducationTeaching and Teacher EducationEducation.Children.ScienceStudy and teaching.TeachersTraining of.Childhood Education.Science Education.Teaching and Teacher Education.370.83Moeed Azra852644Dobson Stephen415913Saha Sankari1586107MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910799226203321Playful Science Investigations in Early Childhood3872377UNINA
