      abstract = {This book analyses and synthesises past and current  approaches to STEM Education in the Early Years,  particularly the role of digital technologies and play  based pedagogies, and provides a look forward to a new way  of conceiving STEM Education. It presents a literature  review of existing best practice in STEM education, both in  Australia and internationally. It also presents theoretical  and pedagogical discussions that outlines a new approach to  STEM Education, based on a four-year, longitudinal, Early  Years project. It provides educational frameworks for  educators' use to enhance student learning in STEM, both in  formal school contexts and beyond. This book focuses on a  number of core themes in the research literature, including  STEM education policy (nationally and internationally); the  economic, social and political implication of STEM  Education; the nexus between digital technologies, STEM,  and play based pedagogies; the confidence and competence of  early childhood educators and their professional  development requirements; STEM education beyond formal  schooling; and a new pedagogical approach to STEM  education. .},
