Children's Competencies in Process Skills in Kindergarten and Their Impact on Academic Achievement in Third Grade

Preschool Children’s Science Motivation and Process Skills during Inquiry-Based STEM Activities

“…The need for STEM activities in early education has been a point of inspiration for this study. Furthermore, the experts suggests that children acquire the scientific process skills at an early age and that this needs to be done through inquiry-based activities (Charlesworth & Lind, 2010;Jirout & Zimmerman, 2014;Saçkes, 2013;Samarapanguvan et al, 2011). To benefit from these activities, however, children need to participate in the educational process in a motivated way, as motivation is an important factor in children's academic success and school performance (Çeliker, Tokcan & Korkubilmez, 2015;Wigfield, Eccles & Rodriguez, 1998).…”

“…Young children's natural curiosity is crucial for learning science skills, and they not only learn skills but also build on a set of skills over time (Jirout & Zimmerman, 2014;Kuru & Akman, 2017). Moreover, these skills in the early years are also best predictors of children's science achievement in their next grades (Saçkes, 2013). Therefore, the researchers suggest that inquiry-based activities should be implemented in early childhood education to improve children's scientific skills and to increase their scientific achievement and their motivation (Alabay & Özdoğan, 2018;Saçkes, 2013;Samarapanguvan, Patrick, & Mantzicopoulos, 2011) because in inquiry-based activities, the child should take responsibility in the learning process by actively participating to obtain new knowledge (Pedaste, et al, 2015).…”

Alfieri, Brooks, Aldrich, and Tenenbaum (2011) and Furtak, Seidel, Iverson, and Briggs (2012) reported that students' learning gains in the inquiry-based learning model were much more than traditional models.…”

Perilaku Mengonsumsi Ikan Dan Pengaruhnya Terhadap Kemampuan Kognitif

“…anak yang pernah berpartisipasi dalam pendidikan prasekolah TK untuk mempunyai kemampuan kognitif tinggi adalah1,36 kali dibanding dengan yang tidak pernah mengikuti. Hasil ini mendukungpenelitian Warsito, Khomsan, Hernawati & Anwar, (2012), Saçkes (2013), Pangeni (2014), dan Rao, Richards, Sun, Weber & Sincovich (2019) yang menunjukkan jika anak yang pernah mengikuti pendidikan prasekolah secara signifikan memiliki perkembangan kognitif yang lebih baik. Hal tersebut dikarenakan anak yang berpartisipasi dalam pendidikan prasekolah telah mendapatkan materi pembelajaran yang meliputi perpaduan kompetensi dasar dengan program pengembangan, yaitu nilai keagamaan dan moral, keterampilan motorik dan fisik, bahasa, sisisosial-emosional, danseni.…”

Wirkungen naturwissenschaftlicher Bildungsangebote auf pädagogische Fachkräfte und Kinder

“…Kinder kommen durch die Auseinandersetzung mit Materialien, natürlichen Phänomenen oder durch aktive Denkanstöße und Gespräche mit Erwachsenen und anderen Kindern zum Auf-und Ausbau spezifischer Vorstellungen und Erkenntnisse (Eisenberg, De-Loache & Siegler, 2005) . Diese wiederum bilden die Grundlage für spätere Lernprozesse in der Schule (Saçkes, 2013;Saçkes, Trundle, Bell & OʼConnell, 2011), so dass frühe grundlegende Kompetenzen in der nationalen und internationalen Literatur auch als anschlussfähig und zunehmend auszudifferenzierend bezeichnet werden . (Siegler & Chen, 2008 (Koerber, Sodian, Thoermer & Nett, 2005;Zimmermann, 2007) und Elemente des wissenschaftlichen Zyklus verwenden (Samarapungavan, Mantzicopoulos, Patrick & French, 2009) .…”
