Different with the seventh grader

So they play with that more which can give them a head start in those areas. Mart Production/Pexels For the development of inquiry-based learning skills however it does not seem to matter whether Santas bag is full of technical and scientific toys or not. At least in toddlers between four and six years old. Research by Joep van der Graaf and Jo van Schaik both assistant professors at the Behavioral Science Institute at Radboud University Nijmegen seems to indicate this. Among other things they look at the influence of the home environment on the science skills of toddlers. It is an ongoing investigation so I cannot draw firm conclusions yet emphasizes Van der Graaf.

It remains speculation but the available material in the house does not seem to matter. Experimental toddlers We have mapped out the home environment of children in terms of science and technology explains Van der Graaf. For this purpose we asked parents which Austria Phone Number List scientifically related toys are present at home. Think of Lego programming games a chemistry box Freek Vonk stuff like a magnifying glass and a childrens atlas. We also inventoried which scientifically tinted outings they undertake such as a visit to NEMO. We linked the scores on this questionnaire to preschoolers performance on tasks that measure science skills. Van der Graaf went to groups 1 and 2 with a ramp and let toddlers set up and carry out experiments with it.

He also looked at how good they are at drawing conclusions based on maps with clues drawn on them. The amount of material in the house does not seem to influence these inquiry-based learning skills. How children play with it seems to matter adds Van der Graaf. Inquiry-based learning works best when the initiative lies with the child but the parent is there to support and guide. The balance is tipped towards child-directed play. Letting the child take the initiative while playing and guiding as a parent works best for inquiry-based learning.

Perhaps parents perception of science differs from how we measure scientific skills he suggests as a possible explanation.
