  STEM Bridge

  The STEM Bridge research project was initiated by the Department for Education in South Australia in order to facilitate collaborations between preschool educators and reception teachers. Using STEM learning as the context, the focus of the project in 2018 and 2019, was on ‘building bridges’ between preschool and school to support the transition of learners through a continuity of pedagogical approaches.

  The research:

  • Features a paper, a trailer and several case-studies detailing the research and  findings from each site
  • Highlights the ways in which sites can elevate pedagogical conversations around children’s voice and advocacy and extend play-based inquiries into the school context
  • Invites educators to reflect on their own context and consider the positive impact of extending play-based pedagogies into the school environment to support children’s ongoing learning.
