Question 1

• Assuming that the references used in the literature review are accurately cited, examine how well the literature review aligns with the research topic, research questions, and the study’s theoretical framework.
• Examine the appropriateness of the sampling, data collection, and data analysis methods for addressing the research questions.
• Discuss the extent to which the findings address the study’s research questions.
• Discuss the limitations of this study and the kinds of questions that you still have about early STEM/engineering education that have not been answered by this study.

Question 2

Based on your thorough critique of Ata-Akturk and Demircan and relevant literature you have come across about early STEM/engineering education, design an early childhood research project to address related research questions within Singapore’s early childhood context. You could choose to modify or refine the study’s questions or extend the study’s findings, with justification. Your project plan should include the following:

• Title
• Purpose Statement and Research Questions
• Participants
• Data Collection Methods
• Data Analysis Plan
