Arrangement of fun experimental activities with science to promote EF brain skills in self-regulation of preschool children

Abstract

      The purpose of this research was to promote self-regulation EF skills of preschool children.by organizing fun experiments with science ideas to compare children's self -regulation EF skills. Early childhood before and after organizing fun experimental activities thinking with science. The sample group used in this research They are early childhood children, male and female, aged between 4-5 years old, who are studying in Kindergarten 2, Room 1, Semester 1. academic Year 2022, Muang Sam Sip School (Amnuai Panya), 22 students. The sample group of early childhood children was organized.Fun experimental activities with science for 8 weeks, 3 days a week, 15 minutes per day, total duration

Total 24 times Tools used in research is an EF brain skills test for self-regulation of preschool children. Amount 12 items Plans for activities, fun experiments with science for early childhood children, amounting to 24 plans 24 fun science experiments.              

     The results showed that  (1.) Early childhood children who were encouraged to develop EF brain skills in self-regulation by organizing experimental activities. Fun thinking with science had statistically significant improvement in EF self-regulation skills at level .05  (2.) EF brain skills in terms of self-regulation of early childhood children who received fun thinking activities with the science before the activity had a mean score of 2.20 and a standard deviation of 0.09 after the activity. Organized activities had a mean score of 2.77 and a standard deviation of 0.04, indicating that preschool children who received the fun thinking with science experiment activity had higher brain EF scores after the activity than before the activity. Organized activities with statistical significance at the .05 level.
