Research Note: Children Thinking and Learning through Design Activity at Age Six.
Bottrill, Pauline
Early Child Development and Care, v121 p147-63 Jul 1996
Analyzed the extent to which children's design activities followed the same pattern or differed, based on observations of a group of six-year olds over time. Found that all children in the sample demonstrated the ability to perceive, image, and model, which is a key to designing, and that teachers can intervene to promote children's designing activity.
