Early childhood education is now an obligation to prepare children for further education. Education in primary schools has levels that must be taken first with the aim that the child is ready to attend lessons first, such as education in kindergarten and early childhood education. This study aims to look at human freedom in undergoing early childhood education and the values contained in education. The theory of freedom is used to examine the harmony between the spirit of preparing for education with the pure value of human freedom, so that it can be said that early childhood education is a freedom. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. Data analysis was carried out in a holistic manner to achieve an exploration of the theory of freedom contained in early childhood education. The results of this study prove that early childhood education can be said that the implementation of freedom will support the true free human being, that is, free from ignorance and backwardness.

El objetivo general de este artículo consiste en analizar la puesta en práctica de una secuencia de enseñanza sobre ciencias de la naturaleza en la que se utiliza el cuento como recurso didáctico principal. Dicha propuesta tiene como objetivo trabajar el modelo de ser vivo a través de los pollitos y realizar una analogía con el ser humano. Esta propuesta está diseñada para un aula del segundo ciclo de educación infantil (3 años), perteneciente a un colegio público de la Comunidad Autónoma de la Región de Murcia, con 8 niñas y 16 niños, en total 24. La metodología que enmarca esta secuencia didáctica es el trabajo por proyectos, aprovechando que en el aula se estaba viendo un proyecto sobre los pollitos y, para ello, se hace uso del cuento de “El pollo Pepe” cuyo autor es Nick Denchfield. En el apartado de: reflexión sobre la puesta en práctica, se recogen una serie de resultados favorables en cuanto a esta propuesta, lo que significa que es una secuencia adecuada y viable para estas edades, en la que se consigue un acercamiento a las ciencias de la naturaleza a través de la literatura infantil.   The general objective of this article is to analyze the implementation of a teaching sequence on natural sciences in which the story is used as the main didactic resource.

Education is a process for human beings. Through human education it can grow and develop perfectly, thus fulfilling its duties and responsibilities as a human being. Education is capable of transforming people who were initially ignorant to know, bad to better, so important is education in Islam that it is an individual obligation to demand knowledge. The importance of early childhood education, demands an approach that will be used in learning activities that focus on the child. Because children are the breadwinner of every parent and the next generation of people, however, one of the problems that arises is that not every parent or educator is able to understand the right way to educate the child. Thus, in this article we will talk about educating children in order to create the next generation of potential future successors of the nation.

There has been significant interest in the values and benefits of early childhood nature experiences on children’s well-being and development. One aspect of studying the exposure of children to nature that requires more focus is the role played by early childhood educators. In particular, there is a need for early childhood environmental education training for pre-service educators. This study will explore the use of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve as an outdoor classroom for early childhood environmental education pre-service professionals. Exploratory quantitative and qualitative descriptive data from a series of three short surveys (pre/post/delayed post) provide a basic overview of pre-service teacher perspectives, experiences, and outcomes of an environmental education intervention. The results indicate that the participating pre-service educators had little to no familiarity with the environmental concepts or the biosphere reserve site before participation in the intervention. The post-intervention and delayed post-intervention results show that pre-service educators perceived that their understanding of the concept had improved. The results also show a perception of the positive role that biosphere reserve sites can play in early childhood education. Three critical implications emerged from the overall quantitative and qualitative results: (1) specific support should be given for early childhood environmental education training; (2) biosphere reserve functions provide support for efforts to improve connections to nature; (3) early childhood education has the potential to support the broadening of the biosphere reserve audience.
