dc.description.abstractThe connection between nature-based experiences and educational robotics was explored in a project on environmental education in early childhood education. Future teachers contributed to the study on the potential of educational robotics to enhance nature-based experiences for children for environmental education purposes. Direct experiences with nature in early childhood contribute to care for nature across their lifespans (Chawla, 2020; Ernst et al., 2021). The explicit connection between nature experiences and sustainability in early childhood education is a relatively recent development (Elliott and Hughes, 2023). Educational robotics and other technologies can be used to support the connection between indoor and outdoor experiences as well as provide an engaging learning experience that combines the excitement of robotics with the wonder of the natural world (Figueiredo and Ferreira, 2024). As an interpretative study (Cresswell, 2014), the data was collected through observations of 20 teacher education students (female) in their practicum, and group interviews on educational robotics, environmental education, and nature outdoors. The data was analysed using content analysis. Information about the study and a consent form were provided to all participants. Anonymity was assured. Participants could withdraw at any time. All participants found proposals for combining robotics and nature in meaningful ways. Articulating those experiences with environmental education was challenging beyond the idea of connection to nature. Being-in-nature is necessary but insufficient for environmental education, requiring further work by educators, for example on ethical relationships between humans and “more-than-humans” (Elliott and Young, 2015). It would be beneficial if awareness of these dimensions was incorporated across teacher educationpor
