Ciencia en Relatos
Ciencia en Relatos aims to investigate the ways in which Spanish and Spanish-English speaking Latine heritage families with preschool children engage and support their children’s STEM learning when sharing book-based and oral stories about science. In particular, the study investigates how and if sharing science-related expository and narrative texts (both oral and written) foster science practices. Funded by the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) EHR Core Research (ECR) program, this project aims to build on research with culturally and linguistically diverse families and to understand the culturally-embedded ways in which Latine children learn in their homes. More details on this project can be found in the NSF award site.
