<![CDATA[Strategies that give room for children’s active involvement during teaching activities have a high probability of bringing about all-round development and learning in them in all areas, especially science. Pre-primary children have less exposure to science related activities possibly because of the strategy adopted during teaching activities, which might likely affect their acquisition of science knowledge and processing skills later. Hence, this study adopted game-based and exploratory strategies to engage the pre-primary children in some concepts in pre-primary science. The purposive random sampling technique was used to select three pre-primary public schools in one local government. Two were assigned to experimental groups of game-based and exploratory strategies respectively while one was assigned to the control group. 59 pre-primary children participated. Pre-test-post-test control group quasi-experimental design was adopted. Six research questions were answered and three hypotheses were tested at a 0.05 level of significance. Five research instruments were used to collect data. Data were analysed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and Scheffe posthoc test. Results showed significant effects of treatments on pre-primary children’s science knowledge and processing skills. There were mean gains of 2.0 (game-based); 1.63 (explorative) and 0.55 (conventional) points in science knowledge. There were also mean gains of 19.45 (game-based); 20.58 (exploratory) and 10.55 (conventional) points in the processing skills of pre-primary children. The exploratory strategy was more effective than the game based on science process skills and knowledge. The conventional strategy was less effective than the two. Game-based and exploratory strategies were recommended for pre-primary teachers in teaching science concepts. Keywords: Game-based and exploratory strategies, Science knowledge, Science process skills]]>

<![CDATA[This research reports teachers’ pedagogical choices in teaching social studies in lower primary classrooms in Nigeria. It is believed that neglecting the prescribed curriculum and teachers’ pedagogical choices impacts social studies objectives. The research intended to (a) explore the pedagogical approaches prescribed in the social studies curriculum for primaries one and two, (b) to understand teachers’ pedagogical preferences in teaching primary one and two learners’ social studies, and (c) to examine teachers’ application of free play and mutually directed play pedagogies in teaching primary one and two social studies. The study was conducted in Okigwe Education Zone, Imo State, Nigeria, using a qualitative research approach and a generic qualitative research design. The study participants were made up of primary one and two teachers of social studies (three primary one teachers and three primary two teachers) and primary one and two social studies curriculum documents. The participants were purposively sampled with the criteria that the teachers and social studies curriculum documents must be for the primary one and two learners in the Okigwe Education zone of Imo State. Data collection involved semi-structured interviews and documents, which were analysed using document and thematic data analysis. Findings indicate that whereas teachers were conversant in using teacher-led pedagogies, facilitating learning using free play was lacking. It was also discovered that teachers scarcely used resource persons, field trips, illustrations and experiential learning approaches in facilitating social studies. In conclusion, professional development training for teachers to adequately incorporate free play or learner-led pedagogies was recommended.]]>

<![CDATA[It is important to pay attention to the early childhood learning environment at this time, this has something to do with the leadership style of the school principal. Constraints that are still a problem because the initiative of a leader is still low in carrying out dynamic updates and changes in the Early Childhood Education (ECE) environment, so this can have an impact on performance. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between transformational leadership and building partnerships on the performance of ECE principals. The methodology uses quantitative data collection methods based on observation and questionnaires. The research sample consisted of 30 ECE principals selected by random sampling with consideration of school qualifications and experience as school principals. The data analysis technique uses inferential statistics with the SPSS-assisted Independent Samples Test. The findings show that transformational leadership and building partnerships have a significant relationship to the performance of ECE principals. The transformational style can delegate tasks or jobs to teachers, and involve teachers in decision making, pay attention to subordinates, and create a sporty and family work environment. Building partnerships can be started with parents and can then be carried out with the community environment to increase electability and synergy of strong cooperative relationships in achieving optimal educational goals.]]>
