Abstract

There is a severe shortcoming in science programs in kindergartens in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, this paper presents a conceptual framework for teaching physics concepts to kindergartens to contribute to the consolidation of scientific knowledge by stimulating the skills of inquiry, problem-solving and scientific thinking among children. The research aimed to study the effect of a program based on simplifying some physics concepts on kindergarten children's knowledge. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observation, video recordings of simple lab instruments for physics concepts, and children's in-app interactions and children's photographs. The sample consisted of (8) children of the age groups (5: 6 years) at the third level in kindergarten. The results indicated that children can be taught some scientific thinking skills. Children who practiced the planned activities developed their knowledge more orderly. Accordingly, it is concluded that the program can indicate the success of introducing natural sciences to the kindergarten stage. The current research recommends studies that show the quality and specifications of programs that suit the child's characteristics at this stage and the nature of education. Keywords: Natural sciences, teaching physics concepts, laboratory tools, the focus group method, kindergarten

自然科学教学：将一些物理概念简化为幼儿园儿童的活动和实验室工具

沙特阿拉伯幼儿园的科学课程存在严重的缺陷。因此，本文提出了一个幼儿园物理概念教学的概念框架，通过激发儿童的探究、解决问题和科学思维的技能，有助于巩固科学知识。本研究旨在研究一个基于简化某些物理概念的节目对幼儿园儿童知识的影响。通过半结构化访谈、观察、简单物理概念实验仪器录像、儿童应用内互动和儿童照片等方式收集数据。样本由幼儿园三年级(5 - 6岁)的8名儿童组成。结果表明，儿童可以学习一些科学思维技能。孩子们在进行有计划的活动后，知识的发展更加有序。由此得出结论，该方案可以标志着将自然科学引入幼儿园阶段的成功。目前的研究建议进行研究，以显示适合儿童在这个阶段的特点和教育性质的课程的质量和规格。关键词:自然科学，物理教学理念，实验工具，焦点小组教学法，幼儿园
