Main Article Content
Abstract
This study conducts a systematic literature review to elucidate key themes in the convergence of technology and early childhood education, with a specific focus on the SEEDS Pedagogy. The exploration of four overarching themes unfolds: the integration of technology in early childhood education, emphasizing developmentally appropriate practices, exploring the symbiosis between play-based learning and technology, and underscoring the pivotal role of technology in fostering social inclusion and collaborative learning. Drawing on empirical evidence and theoretical foundations, the study reveals a compelling narrative on the transformative potential of technology when thoughtfully integrated into early childhood education. The SEEDS Pedagogy emerges as a guiding framework, aligning seamlessly with these identified themes and providing educators with a structured approach to optimize learning experiences for young children. By emphasizing a nuanced integration of technology, aligning with developmental stages, viewing technology as an extension of play, and promoting social inclusivity through collaboration, the SEEDS Pedagogy offers a forward-looking perspective on early childhood education in the digital age. This abstract encapsulates the study's exploration of critical themes, positioning the SEEDS Pedagogy as a contemporary and comprehensive framework for educators navigating the dynamic landscape of early childhood education.
