Chen, Nanxi; Wu, Dandan; Hong, Huang-Yao; Chai, Ching Sing; Liang, Jyh-Chong – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2023
Engaging in design thinking activities has been increasingly viewed as important for the craft of teaching for early childhood practitioners. However, reliable and valid measurements for this are lacking. As such, this research aims to develop and validate a design thinking engagement scale (DTES) to assess teachers' engagement in design thinking.…

Boström, Johan; Hultén, Magnus; Gyberg, Per – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2023
As has been pointed out in previous research, teacher-led learning plays an important role in developing preschool children's technological skills and technological self-esteem. What is missing in research are more detailed analysis of how the children's and teachers' actions and interactions shape the learning process. In order to study this…

Eliasson, Sara; Peterson, Louise; Lantz-Andersson, Annika – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2023
Technology education in early childhood education (ECE) has only recently been established internationally as a curriculum content area. The interdisciplinary character of technology education and its status as a field under development occasion a need to distinguish and define technology in the merging of disciplines. This literature review…

Kodsi, Salam Hasan – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2022
This paper examines constructive play in the context of Waldorf and normative kindergartens in Israel. In conceptualizing the output of children's construction, the current research relies upon the fields of problem-solving and technological thinking, using the design process model. The research results were based on a sample of 39 construction…

Sundqvist, Pernilla – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2022
In recent decades the preschool has leaned more towards a learning-oriented pedagogy, where the subject of technology has been given a more prominent place. Still, studies on how individual preschool staff members perceive and teach technology is scarce. This study shows how seven preschool staff in Sweden describe their work with the subject of…

Rethinking Construction in Preschool: Discerning Didactic Strategies in Swedish Preschool Activities
Boström, Johan; Hultén, Magnus; Gyberg, Per – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2022
Even though construction tasks have a long history as an activity in the Swedish preschool, technology as a content matter (e.g., construction) is relatively new. Hence, preschool teachers are generally unsure of the content of technology and how to handle it from a teaching perspective. Thus, there is need for deeper understanding of how…

Axell, Cecilia; Boström, Johan – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2021
Technology is a field with strong connections to the female/male dichotomy. Children start to stereotype everyday life regarding this dichotomy as early as the age of two. The preschool, through its activities--among them reading aloud from picture books--is an arena where societal norms can be either preserved or challenged. Books about different…

Sundqvist, Pernilla – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2020
Developments in early childhood education (ECE) over the last two decades have for many countries meant a change towards a more subject-oriented pedagogy in which preschool staff are commissioned to teach technology to young children. This has been proved to be a challenge to the staff. Through analysis of activities at two preschool units, this…

Ryu, Minjung; Mentzer, Nathan; Knobloch, Neil – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2019
In the United States, recent STEM education reform initiatives call for teaching STEM subjects through integration of multiple related subjects. In response to this call, an integrated STEM education methods course was developed for secondary preservice teachers in STEM disciplines. At the conclusion of the course, qualitative data (e.g.,…
