Laying the foundation for computing in the early years

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article

Abstract

Computing co-ordinators often wonder what to encourage in the
nursery or reception class. The easy answer is, ‘not computing!’ However, there is a lot of learning
in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) that provides a foundation for computational thinking.
Miles Berry (University of Roehampton) and Emma Goto (University of Winchester) explore the issues.
