在早期数学和科学教育中,如果运用得当,计算机也能发挥重要作用。“与最初的担心相反,计算机并不会使儿童自闭。相反,它们还是社会交往的潜在催化剂”。研究表明,运用某些材料和活动能够促进儿童数学和科学概念的发展。幼儿是具体的、动手型的学习者。他们需要操作材料来形成关于物体的物理性质及物体性质转变的概念。自发性探究一般使用可拆分的游戏物品,如积木、建构材料或拼图,以及可变化的连续性材料,如沙子、水和橡皮泥。儿童倾向于在建筑或制作模型的活动中更频繁地进行数学和科学探究。在早期数学和科学教育中,如果运用得当,计算机也能发挥重要作用。
Computers have also played an important role in early mathematical and science education, if used properly. “Contrary to the initial concern, computers do not make children autistic, but rather, they are also potential catalysts for social interaction.” Research shows that the use of certain materials and activities can promote the development of mathematical and scientific concepts in children. Toddlers are concrete, hands-on learners. They need to manipulate materials to form concepts about the physical properties of objects and the changing nature of the objects. Spontaneous exploration generally uses game pieces that are separable, such as building blocks, construction materials or jigsaw puzzles, and variable continuity materials such as sand, water and plasticine. Children tend to conduct math and science inquiry more frequently in the activities of building or making models. Computers have also played an important role in early mathematical and science education, if used properly.
