Dialogue on Early Childhood Science, Mathematics, and Technology Education - AAAS Site
http://www.project2061.org/tools/earlychild/default.htm

This book contains fifteen short papers that explore issues related to the science, mathematics, and technology education of preschool children. The papers were commissioned by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) for the 1998 Forum on Early Childhood Science, Mathematics, and Technology Education and were funded by the National Science Foundation. In this book, experts contend that young children may be capable of concept-based, theoretical learning. based on recent research grounded in developmental and cognitive psychology. The consensus throughout is that early childhood science, mathematics, and technology education is largely inadequate in the United States, receiving little or no attention in most preschool settings. Several of the papers consider what methods of instruction are appropriate for children and what type of curriculum should be used.
