Abstract

This study aims to further the growing body of knowledge about design education with an alternative view; discussing the importance of beginning it at the kindergarten which ideally suits to the approach " develop the creative-thinking skills". In an environment where children" imagines, creates, practices, modifies, recognises, manipulates, shares etc..." knowledge, experiences and objects through play are crucial issues in the design education. Derived from this concern the study brings the argument of advancing and directing early childhood education on the basis of 'basic design issues' such as design principles, conceptualization, 2D/3D spatial allocation and composition more comprehensively which will provide to construct children perceptual, critical and analytic point of view in a very early age and the ability to develop in the future. This hypothetical study's argument is to establish a curriculum of design education in the kindergarten which will constitute children the basis of a strong ability of design knowledge, enable and stimulate their cognitive development.

Constructing design knowledge built up on the kindergarten education

This study aims to further the growing body of knowledge about design education with an alternative view; discussing the importance of beginning it at the kindergarten which ideally suits to the approach " develop the creative-thinking skills". In an environment where children" imagines, creates, practices, modifies, recognises, manipulates, shares etc..." knowledge, experiences and objects through play are crucial issues in the design education. Derived from this concern the study brings the argument of advancing and directing early childhood education on the basis of 'basic design issues' such as design principles, conceptualization, 2D/3D spatial allocation and composition more comprehensively which will provide to construct children perceptual, critical and analytic point of view in a very early age and the ability to develop in the future. This hypothetical study's argument is to establish a curriculum of design education in the kindergarten which will constitute children the basis of a strong ability of design knowledge, enable and stimulate their cognitive development.
