Abstract

This report is the evaluation of an early years project which was developed by members of the Cass Early Childhood Studies Research Group with funding from the 2015 UEL Civic Engagement Fund. The project aimed to encourage parents‟ confidence in their own ability to support emergent scientific thinking among their young children. The project was modelled on an early years initiative undertaken a few years ago in rural Bangladesh. The original Bangladeshi project was pioneered by Dr Sue Dale Tunnicliffe, Reader in Science Education at University College London‟s Institute of Education, and chair of CASTME, the Commonwealth Association of Science, Technology and Mathematics Educator.
