Tujuan kajian ini ialah untuk meneroka pelaksanaan penyiasatan secara inisiatif kanak-kanak. Secara khususnya kajian ini memberi maklumat tentang elemen-elemen penyiasatan secara inisiatif kanak-kanak menerusi Pendekatan Projek. Kajian ini dijalankan terhadap dua orang pendidik berserta dua kumpulan fokus kanak-kanak yang berusia 4+ dan 5+ di sebuah tadika di negeri Perak. Kajian kualitatif ini menggunakan reka bentuk kajian pelbagai kes. Data kajian diperoleh menerusi dokumen dan pemerhatian terhadap peserta kajian. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa elemen-elemen pelaksanaan aktiviti penyiasatan secara inisiatif kanak-kanak dapat ditonjolkan menerusi soalan kanak-kanak, pemilihan bahan dan alat radas, tatacara pelaksanaan penyiasatan dan penghasilan projek. Lantaran itu, hasil kajian ini membuktikan bahawa penyiasatan secara inisiatif kanak-kanak mampu meningkatkan penguasaan konsep sains kanak-kanak.

Environmental sustainability of a developed nation is not only measurable from the aspect of infrastructure development and its public utility. However, the mainstay is the cleanliness, beauty and universal well-being through the use of green technology by 2050. This study is conducted in a qualitative study using a holistic single case study design involving Compound Steel Case. on a kindergarten in the state of Perak. Participants of the study involved in this study consisted of a focus group consisting of 18 children and an educator. The survey data was obtained through triangulation results from unstructured interviews, observations and documents. Overall, the findings show that the way children handle waste management issues is to produce compost fertilizers through project activities. In fact, the final product produced by children is the process of planting mulberry trees and worm terrarium using compost fertilizer produced.

The mastery of science subjects among students in Malaysia is still at an incredible level, this has been proven as a result of the results in Mathematics and Science subjects through the study of Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2015 where even though the country's results are increasing compared to 2011 but ranking of Malaysian students is still lagging among Southeast Asian countries. Hence, this study is conducted for the purpose of exploring the skills of the science process through project activities at the early stage of early childhood education. In addition, this study was conducted in a qualitative study using a holistic case study design involving Compact Fertilizer Case, and Chocolate Gallery on a kindergarten in the state of Perak. The participants involved in this study were two focus groups consisting of 20 children and two educators. In fact, the involvement of participants in this study is through a framework known as Framework for Responsive Participatory Research Method. The survey data is obtained through triangulation results from unstructured interviews, observations and documents. Overall, the findings show that the most dominant science process skills dominated by the children are the observation skills followed by inference and predicting. In addition, the findings show that children also achieve the integrated science skills while conducting investigations among them is to build hypotheses and experiments. Therefore, project activity is an alternative approach in imposing a child's mind towards scientific thinking by 2050.
