Preschool children explore the sources of electrical energy

The bachelor's degree titled Preschool Children Explore the Sources of Electrical Energy consists of theoretical and empirical part. The theoretical part is based on the theory of child cognitive development by Jean Piaget and on research on electric current perception of children by David Shipston. A short description of key words, introduced to the children in the research work, is added to the degree. The second part of the Bachelor's degree is empirical. During the research period hypotheses on electric current perception of 5- to 6-year-old children were proven. The research was based on children's response analysis of the investigative questions, received during individual interviews at the very beginning of the research. After the conclusion of the research, the children were tested again to check their gained knowledge on the electric current. The analysis of the questions before and after the research implies some changes in children's electric current perception, which was either improved or changed. In the conclusion of this degree there is a suggestion on how to continue the research on the electric power system from the source to its users and on electric installations from the junction box to the final consumer
