Teaching about wind turbines in preschool education with conventional and digital educational material
Abstract
The study presents an experimental research through which the impact of two different teaching interventions on the cognitive development of preschoolers regarding the functioning of wind turbines was investigated. The research involved 18 preschoolers from a public kindergarten, divided into two experimental groups. Each group received a teaching intervention designed based on the constructivist approach to teaching and learning about energy. The only difference between the two interventions was the educational material used (conventional and digital). The cognitive development of the preschoolers was assessed through the same semi-structured interviews conducted before and after the intervention. The results showed no difference in cognitive progress between the groups.
