Advantages of Reggio Education:
1, free and open, respecting children's development potential and conforming to historical development trend.
2. The emphasis on "interactive relationship" and "cooperative participation" in the course is conducive to mobilizing the enthusiasm of teachers, children and parents, and provides various opportunities and ways for children's development.
The shortcomings of Reggio's education:
1, Reggio curriculum has no unified educational goal, although it is beneficial to arouse the enthusiasm of teachers and students, but the specific teaching situation is easily influenced by subjective and objective factors.
2. Reggio course is mainly suitable for small class teaching and requires high quality of teachers. In practice, various conditions and the close cooperation of teachers and parents are needed.

The big pk of foreign preschool education system;
The most influential preschool education courses are undoubtedly Montessori, Reggio and Waldorf. Montessori has gradually integrated into the mainstream preschool education in China, while Reggio and Waldorf are still in their infancy in China. However, these three courses are widely praised by most people and questioned by some people.
Montessori course
Advantages: the system is perfect, with both theories and a full set of courses and teaching AIDS, which conforms to the characteristics of children's cognitive development. Revealing the law of children's sensitive growth period, teachers become a part of the environment, which can not only harmonize the relationship between teachers and students, but also make children learn happily; It can also teach students in accordance with their aptitude and realize personalized and differentiated education.
Respect the consistency between study and work. Emphasize mental development and cultivate children's good thinking quality. Mixed age teaching. Breaking the traditional concept of graded teaching, objectively a large number of cognitive conflicts will stimulate the improvement of children's cognitive ability, while imitators will be closer to their own age, which will also make children learn from each other more confidently, promote the development of all-round ability and enhance communication ability.
Rich teaching AIDS and activities. Pay attention to life training and cultivate children's self-care ability from an early age. In Montessori's environment, the pursuit is a spontaneous self-confidence. This self-confidence comes from the children's own correct assessment of their own ability level, rather than external rewards and punishments. Therefore, Montessori education emphasizes that there are no rewards and punishments, only encouragement and praise. Subtle and gradual academic performance.
Disadvantages: In terms of educational curriculum, Montessori curriculum emphasizes children's quiet play and cultivates children's ability of independence and concentration, which also limits the release of children's nature and the development of social skills to some extent.
In terms of art education curriculum, Montessori curriculum pays more attention to the instrumental value of art than the ontological value, which is not conducive to the development of children's artistic creativity. In addition, it overemphasizes authenticity, opposes children telling fairy tales and ignores the value of imagination.
walldorf
Advantages: Emphasize love and warmth, and pay attention to spiritual and spiritual development. It conforms to people's beautiful childhood and educational ideal, and is suitable for people with spiritual needs. Criticize and reflect on the real world of material overflow, emphasize the idea of integrating into natural ecology, and integrate education with life.
Pay attention to children's hands-on ability, teaching AIDS are hand-made from natural materials, and have a unique understanding and practice of art, beauty and imagination. In real life, compared with the other two courses, Waldorf can survive in a harsh environment. It doesn't need too many environmental settings, so it is naturally its classroom. Opposing psychological training also lightens teachers' tasks to some extent.
Disadvantages: Waldorf's curriculum is somewhat "sacred". Undeniably, its beautiful educational goal is desirable, but words such as "soul", "harmony" and "life" are always a little vague in specific courses, and it is difficult to grasp them accurately. The practice of denying academic training in teaching has also been questioned by many people.
In a word, Montessori, Waldorf and Reggio all have greatness. For example, Montessori and Waldorf have formed an interesting symmetry to some extent: Waldorf is committed to rekindling children's rigid imagination, while Montessori tries to weaken children's excessive fantasy and strike a proper balance between their real activities and imagination.
In the specific educational environment, we should maintain a rational attitude, objectively evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each educational concept, and avoid copying it. After all, every course is produced in a specific environment, and in the final analysis, it should be applied in a specific environment.
