La STEAM education nella scuola dell'infanzia.

The paper invites us to reflect on the importance of science education in the early years of education, when the process of acquiring behavioural patterns, preferences and values starts that can lead boys and girls to the ease of simplification, distancing them from the complex reality full of possible nuances, reinforcing traditional identities that are difficult to deconstruct. The text highlights the issues related to STEM education and suggests some teaching strategies and methodologies to be used in order to set up effective contexts capable of providing very young children with the thinking tools to develop problem solving skills and to make informed and conscious choices.
