| Abstract: | The article focuses on the teaching strategy applied by early childhood educators to allow preschoolers to learn more about the natural world. It mentions the effectiveness of using birds to motivate students in an early childhood environmental education. Such approach includes sharing simple experiences to these students, providing frequent positive experiences outdoors, placing the focus of each classroom activity on children's experience rather than on teaching skills or knowledge, demonstrating a personal interest in the natural world, and emphasizing the importance of caring and respect for the natural world. |
