Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The role of natural science in early years education is a field of research that has attracted an increasing amount of interest over the past decade. A driving force for this development is the recognition of the importance of early years science education for society at large through its impact on future academic achievements and equality, as education strives to provide all pupils with the experiences necessary to attain educational goals. One of the most pressing issues for education today is to increase children’s environmental awareness to provide coming generations with the knowledge to form a more sustainable future. Contemporary research has provided new insights into the learning process itself with the inclusion of related fields such as information and communication technology (ICT), linguistics and concept formation and much more. The current breadth of development motivates summarising the current state of this multidisciplinary field and the presentation of informed insights concerning current and future trends. To this end, I invite you to contribute original papers and reviews for a Special Issue of Education Science devoted to Natural Science and Technology in Early Years Education, which is to be published in late 2022.
Dr. Karina Adbo
Guest Editor
