Sustainable development goals

Abstract

The current state of early childhood education reveals two aspects which have motivated this study. Firstly, schoolyards do not usually have resources which promote learning, and, secondly, science is seen as something immeasurable and distant at this education stage. For these reasons, the present study aims to design different scientific proposals to be implemented in the schoolyard of a Catalan school and to analyze how children between 3 and 5 years of age interact and learn with them. Through this qualitative study, based on non-participant observations of the context, it is shown how this school space can be stimulated by supplying proposals which students can freely explore. These proposals contribute to inclusion, to the generation of positive experiences and to thedevelopment of scientific skills among early childhood education students.
