The analysis of the official documents of a Country is not enough to have a “real” picture
of the school curriculum in that Country. This analysis had to be flanked and integrated by
the results of the investigation of the acted curriculum implemented by the teachers and the
perception that the pupils have. With the aim to investigate 5 years old pupils’ perception
of the curriculum of mathematics science and technology, two strategies for collecting data
in kindergarten were implemented and experimented during the pilot phase of the
SECURE European Project
