美国特拉华州州立大学和天普大学的研究者发现,鼓励学龄前儿童玩积木能够提高他们以后学习科学、技术、工程和数学的能力。研究者跟踪研究了超过100个来自不同阶层家庭的3岁儿童。孩子们被测试的搭积木技巧主要有两个:看他们能否辨别出一块积木是应该搭在另一块的上方还是下方,还有他们是否能将积木排列在一条线上。在数学能力的测试方面,研究人 Researchers at Delaware State University and Temple University found that encouraging preschoolers to play blocks can increase their ability to learn science, technology, engineering and mathematics later on. Researchers tracked more than 100 3-year-old children from all walks of life. There are two main building blocks skills that children are tested for: whether they can tell if a block should be above or below the other, and whether they can put the blocks in a line. In the test of mathematical ability, researchers
