Abstract
This study explores the effectiveness of online vs. traditional STEM education methods for preschool children aged 5-6 years in China. Through qualitative interviews with educators, this study compares how these methods affect children's engagement and learning outcomes. The findings suggest that traditional hands-on approaches are more effective in engaging younger learners due to the importance of sensory and social experiences in early cognitive development. While online platforms offer personalized learning, they often struggle to maintain long-term engagement. The study highlights the need for a hybrid approach that combines the strengths of traditional and digital methods to optimize STEM education. In addition, the study explores the challenges of the digital divide and the importance of equitable access to technology. These insights provide practical recommendations for improving early STEM education practices and guiding future policy decisions.
