Educational strategies & policy; Educational: Technology

This book offers new insights and critical perspectives on the integration of computational thinking, engineering design process, and AI literacy into early childhood education.

The authors draw on research from around the world in early childhood education and computer science education (CSE) to explore the possibilities, benefits and challenges of incorporating emerging technologies into the formal and informal learning settings for young children aged 3-8 years. They offer strategies and research insights for designing and implementing curricula, selecting appropriate tools, and engaging families, drawing upon a wide range of research and pedagogical approaches.

With a strong emphasis on equity and inclusion the authors suggest developmentally appropriate CSE activities to develop skills like literacy, maths and problem-solving, while adhering to appropriate screen time guidelines. It is written for researchers, policy-makers and educators interested in advancing the field of early childhood education and empowering young children in the rapidly evolving digital society.
