Design principles of science picture books for early childhood science education

在这项研究中，科学教育研究人员与脑科学、儿童文学、设计研究和婴儿教育的研究人员合作，建立了考虑婴儿发展基础的设计原则。这些原则将应用于开发科学教育用的科学绘本。此外，合作者的目标是在原则的基础上，开发和评估科学图画书原型，这些原型是培养幼儿对科学的好奇心和学习愿望的理想选择。因此，我们建立了科学绘本的初步设计原则，以培养幼儿对科学的好奇心和学习愿望，并确定了理想的科学绘本原型。

In this study, science education researchers collaborated with researchers of brain science, children’s literature, design studies, and infant education to establish design principles that take into account infants’ developmental foundation. The principles will be applied in developing science picture books for science education. Additionally, the collaborators aimed to develop and evaluate, on the basis of the principles, science picture book prototypes that are ideal for nurturing curiosity toward, and aspiration to learn, science from early childhood. Consequently, tentative design principles for a science picture book that nurtures curiosity towards, and aspiration to learn, science from early childhood were established and ideal science picture book prototypes was identified.
