Integrating narrative into the design of preschool science programs
We investigated how narratives from science storybooks can become tools to structure and problematize science phenomena for preschool-age children during museum programs. Analysis of video from four programs with preschool-aged audiences suggests the story-driven investigations provided opportunities for preschool-children to co-construct evidence-based explanations with educators through the mediation of elements which arose from the narrative-infused design. We present the relative affordances of salient mediating processes influenced by the storybooks’ narratives, including the structure of the investigations, discourse, gesture use, and generation of representations.
