GDECE 107 STEM in the Early Years Assessment 1 Rubric  

Task description: 

Review the research literature on STEM education and a range of recent (past 5 years) STEM education Apps currently available for children in the early  years. Select three (3) Apps, one from each category discussed in class (construction, experimentation, skills-based, etc.) Describe the functions of the Apps  and assess their potential to effectively engage with STEM concepts and skills and reflect the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) (AGDE, 2022). 

Criteria: 

• Present current theoretically and empirically based understandings of STEM in early childhood education 

• Appraise 3 applications designed to support the learning of STEM related concepts in early childhood education 

• Draw on a range of academic sources and policy documents to support your argument (set texts must be used) 

Word count: 2000  

NOTE: SCEI-HE requires its students to observe the highest ethical standards in every aspect of their academic work. SCEI-HE actively demonstrates its  commitment to academic integrity by recognising scholarly work and penalising all forms of academic dishonesty.
