In this paper, the chosen age of the child is four years old female who was in her
kindergarten. From the childhood, children have a specific character that shapes their personality
and their decision making in the future. Two such crucial aspects observed in this four years of
the female child in her science class of school. In the science class, all students were introduced
to the computer by the science teacher. This child was exceptionally mesmerised about the
computer and started asking questions by pointing out the different part of the computer.
Moreover, she was answering a question with sincerity in than any other children. From the
observation of this child, one specific character in early childhood was identified that children
are curious about everything that comes into their vision, especially things related to technology.
Any children receive their primary knowledge from preschool or kindergarten which
reflects in their character in future and shape their personality from early childhood (Rubin,
2017). Five E models are the best model to understand and observed children and involve them
in the activities that enhance their character (Black et al., 2017). Five E defined as engage,
explore, explain, elaborate, evaluate. Therefore, it is an instructional model that based on the
organized approach to learning that will help children to construct new ideas with combination
with old ideas for enhancing the education and learning methods as observed in this situation.
This four years old female child was the student of a kindergarten of Australia. In the science
class of this school, all students in the course were introduced to the computer and different parts
of the computer. Few children were reluctant about this new technology, and few were busy in
their activities. This four years old girl went to the teacher and suddenly started asking about
CPU and mouse. Her pronunciation was not that clear but understandable.Moreover, when her

science teacher asked her that whether she knew about this technology, she was this technology
or not. She very confidently answered that she didn’t know but she wants to know about it, and
she wants to use it. Moreover, she went near a computer and started drawing something in the
paint. Majority of the children lack these characters in their early childhood and she posses these
characters.
Technology plays a positive role in the development of children and their learning,
especially in their early childhood. Through the use of technology, teachers have access to more
innovative ideas, and they can teach students new ideas in constructive ways. The computer is
one of the crucial technologies that enhance the teaching and learning of individuals in school
premises (McEwan et al., 2015). In the classroom, the majority of teachers now a day’s
explaining some theories of science and importance of technology through visualisation and
photograph (Norooz et al., 2015). This method of learning provides children with a clear insight
of science theories and technologies along. Moreover, teaching and learning using computer as
efficient technology in early childhood enhances the effective communication between teachers
and students (Hymel et al., 2018). Consequently, children can highlight their area of weakness
and curiosities without any apprehension.
Environment has massive effect on shaping and rapid development of children in their
early childhood. According to the national scientific council, children spend their waking hours
in both schools and home. Therefore, environment of these two places hold huge importance in
development. Healthy home environment help children to adopt important ethics and few
manners that require living in decent society (Gilavand, Gilavand & Gilavand, 2016). Healthy

school atmosphere help children to develop their communication and logical thinking .It enhance
speaking capabilities of children in early childhood. Moreover, infants learn to share their
knowledge with their peer that enhances the communication in classroom and help to construct
new ideas (Maguire-Fong, 2015). Social constructivism has huge impact in teaching. Social
constructivism defined as the sociological theory of knowledge which suggested that human
development enhanced by working together and interacting with each other (Singer, 2017).
Recent studies suggested that children are able successfully complete their new task with
collaboration with adult which they found difficult at the being. Therefore, adult involved in the
teaching session improve the ability of children to accomplish difficult task in guidance.
Moreover, children are able to engage themselves in any activities without any apprehension that
helps them to build their confidence and self-esteem. Therefore, adult should have a sound
knowledge about teaching children in creative way in their early childhood.
The early year learning outcome is always positive if technology and science
incorporated in their learning session. Children have the strong sense of identity if technology
and science incorporated in their learning hours. By knowing about current technologies,
children can contribute their ideas to the world. Children will develop the strong sense of well
being in society (Moss et al., 2016). Majority of the children are not able to communicate with
their peers. Science and technology classroom help them to communicate with their peer and
surrounding efficiently. Moreover, children are able to involve them in new learning activities.
Parents play a crucial role in developing rational thinking in infants. However, many
children are not able to grasp science accurately if the learning session only involves the oral
