Appropriate integration of children’s drawings in the acquisition of science concepts

Abstract

I conducted a study (2011) and found that drawing could also make children’s learning educational and enjoyable. The study was intended to examine pre-service teachers’ perceptions of drawing included in science instruction. Seventy pre-service teachers participated in the study. They worked with 140 young children from ages 4 to 7 across four semesters (fall, 2004, to spring, 2006) from a Midwest comprehensive university.
