The development of problem solving skills is an essential aspect of learning and development in early childhood education.
?
It is about a young child being given the opportunity to think creatively, to think through possibilities, reasoning through potential pathways, and using logic to address complex problems or questions.
?
The experience that young children will gain from safe problem-solving situations will help produce future citizens who will be aware of the importance of information management in the public’s sphere, reliable and adequate information that will facilitate sound discussion.
?
The integration of ICT in early childhood education has the potential to enhance educational opportunities for young children as it can be applied in a developmentally appropriate manner to encourage purposeful and exploratory play such as problem-solving in a play-centred and responsive early learning environment.
