STEM learning through nature play in early childhood settings
In this webinar, Professor Amy Cutter-Mackenzie-Knowles and Dr Maia Osborn from Southern Cross University, Australia share findings from their research into teaching and learning science and STEM concepts through play-based pedagogies, and in particular, through nature play.
The webinar examines ideas around play-based pedagogies, as well as definitions of nature play and STEM, enriching these explorations with practical examples from multiple research projects. Amy and Maia also wish to acknowledge and pay respect to the ancestors and descendants of the Yugambeh people on whose Lands they work, meet, research, and learn. They wish to acknowledge that within and without the buildings, the Land always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.
