Funded Activity Summary

Scientific play-worlds: Researching play, imagination and science teaching. This project aims to investigate how imaginative play, as a pedagogy of science teaching, promotes children’s scientific visualisation and imagination in contexts of contradiction and drama. The project expects to generate new knowledge about teaching science to infants, toddlers and preschoolers in play-based settings. The expected outcome is an evidence-based model of early childhood science teaching and a method for measuring imagination in scientific play. Potential benefits include improved pre-service and in-service education and improved cognitive outcomes young children in their formative years.
