Gambaran dan halatuju pendidikan STEM prasekolah di Malaysia

Abstract

The philosophy of national education emphasizes on the continuing education efforts that need to be made to develop the potential of each individual. In this context, the education chain needs to be integrated seamlessly from an early age to a higher level. However, initiatives involving early childhood education have received little attention, especially in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). While STEM education is important for developing national scientific talent and forging a culture of science among the community. This is possible through the synergy of education from an early age. This paper focuses on the development of pre-school education in Malaysia and how STEM integration can occur. In addition, methods for implementing STEM content in preschool curricula and suggestions for strengthening preschool educator training in the field of STEM are also discussed.
