Introduction
Disposition is a mixture of the exposed knowledge, skills, behaviour and attitude of the child towards learning. Positive disposition towards learning therefore increases the level of curiosity, courage, confidence, trust, responsibility and perseverance, which thereby lead them to act positively in every aspects of their life.
The cu
ent trends and the benefits of technologies have improved the disposition rate among the young children, which have raised their interest level to its peak. Through (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) STEM education, a child creates a critical thinking process of his own using his creativity and innovations to discover something unique. Below we will study these through two specific articles in details.
Part 1:
Article 1
The paper by Kewalramani and Havu-Nuutinen (2019) stated that through technological support, a child could think even beyond any content learning. The benefits of using technology therefore enhance the positive learning disposition in a child. For example, if a child explores any digital stories regarding any scientific concepts thereby it will lead him to several scientific inquiries and as a result, he will able to identify the various scientific causes, outcomes, consequences and therefore learn the entire scientific concept through technological processes.
Technology also enhances the teacher’s technological pedagogical knowledge power, which therefore, improves the children’s science engagement process. The teachers are now able to plan various scientific programs through certain technological tools that can engage the children in various meaningful activities, creating a platform of their prior knowledge, building their inquiry skills, developing the interaction process between teacher- peer and peer – peer.
This is encouraging them in various other science learning. This is supported by Ahmadi and Reza (2018), who mentioned that the utilisation of technology plays an important role in our learning process. It not only helps the teachers to facilitate the child but also helps the management to assess the performances of the teachers as well as students.
Through the technological support, the...
