“…The literature also supports Ceren's views of IBMAM. Inquisitive activities should be carried out in learning environments that are appropriate to their developmental stages in order for children to develop high-level thinking skills Delacour, 2016;Karademir & Akman, 2019;Karademir et al, 2020). Skills should be supported by concrete materials so that children can experience and make sense of them.…”

An Inquiry-Based Mathematics Activities Module (IBMAM) consisting of integrated and child-centered activities was developed. IBMAM provides preschoolers 60-72 months of age with the opportunity to develop mathematical and inquiry skills and use them actively to construct their own learning. The present study aims to investigate the effects of IBMAM on preschoolers. Teachers' and parents' views were obtained, and long-term observations (16 weeks) were performed. Phenomenology, which is a qualitative research design, was used in this study. The study sample consisted of a pre-school teacher of a kindergarten (Sincan, Ankara) and her children's parents in the academic year of 2016-2017. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the teacher to assess the post-IBMAM process, changes in their views of math and math education, the effects of IBMAM on preschoolers' math skills and changes in the classroom. Preschoolers' parents' were also interviewed to evaluate changes in preschoolers at home. To support the results of the interviews, unattended and structured classroom observation was conducted twice a week for four months on certain dates. Instant field notes were taken during each observation, which was also videotaped. Data were analyzed using inductive content analysis. Results showed that IBMAM contributed to all areas of development by providing a fun and educational setting that increased preschoolers' motivation. In the observations, it was understood that the applied module gave pre-school children different perspectives, encouraged active participation, enabled learning to continue, and help enabled pre-school children to use their scientific process skills more frequently. Moreover, parents noticed positive changes in their children, and therefore, were optimistic about the future.

“…Hal ini selaras dengan penelitian (Barorroh et al, 2015) yang mengatakan bahwa selama berlangsungnya kegiatan sains, sikap anak yang sering muncul yaitu sangat senang, sikap mandiri, eksplorasi, tidak mudah menyerah, sikap spontan, dan rasa ingin tahu yang tinggi. Kegiatan sains dapat merangsang anak untuk menjadi lebih kreatif dan proaktif (Adbo & Carulla, 2020;Karademir et al, 2020). Kegiatan sains tidak semata-mata untuk mengembangkan kognisi anak, tapi juga dapat menjadi wadah yang menyenangkan bagi anak (Karademir et al, 2020;Marcus et al, 2018).…”

This study describes parents' involvement in introducing science to children with down syndrome. This study used a qualitative approach. The research participants were 6 parents with Down syndrome children at 4-8 years old. The purposive sampling method was used to involve the participants. Data were collected through semi-structured online interviews. Analysis of the data in this study using Miles and Huberman. The results of this study show how parents introduce science activities by introducing science activities using simple methods, the media used by utilizing household appliances and objects in the surrounding environment. Parents consider science activities essential to be introduced to children. However, parents face challenges because children are difficult to manage, do not easily focus, and are easily bored.

“…Further stated that children's independent activities could improve more of their science skills. This approach allows children to conduct freely observe, integrated activities, systemic new knowledge with daily life suitable with the age, characteristics, and child development [18]. Utami's findings associated with the science learning process state that every exploration, experiment, problemsolving activity, is closely be related to language development.…”

This study aims to determine the appropriate science learning concept for early childhood based on the results of a literature review. Literature review research refers to the relevant study research results on the early childhood science learning topic. The results showed that there were several things related to early childhood science learning. Namely:(1) teacher competence in the science learning process, (2) basic concepts of early childhood science learning, (3) science learning program, (4) science learning process in early childhood.
