“…Our study, and recent research (eg. Güneş & Şahin, 2020) also shows that children are more able to generalise and abstract scientific phenomena in a way that was previously not expected (Piaget, 1971). For the preschool teachers, a consequence of this study as stressed by Andersson and Gullberg (2014) could be that it is more important to provide a positive and permitting environment for the children, than avoiding to work with science and concepts due to lack of knowledge and insecurity.…”

“…This is also in line with several studies where the usefulness of aestetic expressions is pointed out as a way for children to explore scientific knowledge (eg. Kalogiannakis et al, 2018;Güneş and Şahin, 2020;Ødegaard, 2003).…”

“…In some of these studies children's intuitive ideas and thinking was considered as something to overcome and as obstacles to learning the 'right scientific ideas'. However other studies have been seeking answers to why the challenges to learning and teaching science to preschool children occur (Sundberg et al, 2018;Andersson et al, 2020) and obstacles to conceptualization of abstract science concepts (Güneş & Şahin, 2020;Hobson et al, 2010;Saçkes et al, 2011;Saçkes, 2014).…”

“…Donaldson, 1978;Hundeide, 1977;Pramling, 2006). Güneş and Şahin (2020) found in a study of five-year olds' epistemic thinking about the concept of time, using children's drawings, that in contrary to Piaget's (1969) interpretations, five-year olds could demonstrate abstract thinking in conceptualization of time. This research points at the importance of considering aspects such as the situation and discursive factors as well.…”

The study described in this paper concerns science education in preschool, more specifically how young children in preschool settings invent, develop and explore science and scientific concepts in problem-solving and communicative situations. The aim of the paper is to discuss young children´s concept creation and draw conclusions for early science education. The method used was a secondary analysis of empirical material drawn from three previous studies carried out by the authors. Examples of preschool children’s use of language were extracted and was, for the purpose of this study, analyzed with a new focus on children’s use of concepts. The re-analysis draws from Vygotsky’s theoretical framework on children’s conceptual development and appropriation of new concepts (Vygotsky, 1934/1999; Åkerblom 2011) and from the later Wittgenstein (1986) on the role of language meaning in understanding. The findings underline the importance of allowing preschool children to invent, develop and explore science and technology concepts, as well as implications for preschool teachers to create dialogic spaces for the children to do so. The limitations of the study are however that it is based on a limited number of examples and even though it can give implications and point out directions, is not conclusive and should be followed by further research.

<p style="text-align:justify">The ability to think creatively has a vital role in the development of preschool children. This research provides a comprehensive review of innovative approaches and strategies for developing creative thinking in preschool children based on current trends and methodologies used in educational settings. This research shows three significant areas: (a) creative thinking skills in preschool children, (b) factors influencing creative thinking skills in depth, and (c) innovative strategies and approaches to stimulate creative thinking abilities in preschool children. This research uses a literature study method assisted by the publish perish application to find reference sources related to creative thinking abilities in preschool children. Studies show that creative thinking abilities in preschool children enable them to find innovative solutions, help them adapt to challenges, foster self-confidence and courage, and enrich their experience and knowledge of the world around them. Meanwhile, preschool children's creative thinking abilities are influenced by collaboration from the external environment (parents, teachers, and society); providing support and examples for children to develop and stimulate their creative thinking skills is very important.</p>
