Comment on a class teacher's view on children and education
The formation of children's view is restricted by social politics and economy, and influenced by traditional cultural thoughts, philosophy, sociology, physiology, psychology, especially the theory of children's development. Different views on children's development, different views on children, different contents, methods and specific tasks of educating children, and different views on education. Therefore, it is very important to establish a correct view of children and education for the reform and development of preschool education in China. First, loving and respecting children's love are the necessary environmental factors for the healthy development of children's body and mind, and also the primary professional ethics of teachers. Teachers treat every child with sincerity, love and care, observe and analyze patiently and carefully, understand the content needs of children, and accept and meet their reasonable demands and needs. Teachers convey the feelings of love to children, which are closely related to their emotions and resonate with them. Children gradually develop a sense of intimacy, security and self-confidence, love and trust teachers, and are "soul mates" and "live in harmony" with teachers. Teachers also experience the understanding, success and deepening of self-personality in this emotion, so as to continuously improve the art of education in the process of promoting children's all-round and harmonious development. Every child has the right to be respected and cared for. Respect children's independent personality characteristics and healthy growth rights, and should not be indifferent to children, or ignore or despise them. Everyone has self-esteem. Self-esteem is an emotion that needs to be thoroughly remoulded, and it is the motivation and spiritual strength to inspire children to be positive. Although young, children also have strong self-esteem and have the same status as adults in personality. Children are psychologically fragile and easily injured. Cultivating and caring for their self-esteem will make them feel happy, confident and positive. This state is the best state for children to receive education. On the contrary, if a child's self-esteem is bruised, it is easy for the child to feel inferior, even to have rebellious feelings, and his personality will become rude and stubborn, which is very difficult to educate. Therefore, treat children's self-esteem, be very cautious and respect everywhere. Second, recognize differences and promote development. Due to the influence of heredity, environment, nutrition and society, there are great individual differences among children of the same age. We should acknowledge these differences and teach students in accordance with their aptitude. Children of the same age or in the same class cannot all have the same motor development, learning ability, behavior habits and language level. It is obviously unreasonable for our teacher to measure them with the same ruler. It is impossible for them to achieve the same goal with the same method and content. If your goal is suitable for children with average ability level, then children with higher ability level will have no standards to follow, while those with lower ability level will feel unattainable. Therefore, as a kindergarten teacher, we should first understand every child in the class, make different development plans for them, run through children's daily activities, and guide them to make continuous efforts. We should encourage all progressive children, especially those with poor ability and low level. Compared with the children in the class, these children may never get a chance to be praised, but compared with their past, they have made great progress. So pay attention to the progress of children. As a kindergarten teacher, we should clearly know that every child is a unique individual with different development levels and speeds and different hobbies. Therefore, the requirements of children's unified education cannot be arbitrarily unified with children's individual development characteristics. It is necessary to consider children's individual development level and hobbies, and not to ignore children's individual characteristics and unify them mechanically. Third, perfect personality, all-round development With the impact and challenge of internationalization, industrialization, urbanization and the third wave of the world, the requirements for human development and education have also increased accordingly. Citizens in the future society must be a healthy human body with sound system, wise mind and healthy personality, and at the same time, they must be a group member who can cooperate with each other, be emotionally stable, have strong adaptability and be tolerant. Childhood is the foundation period of physical health, the critical period of intellectual development and the formation period of sound personality. Early childhood education is related to the adaptation and behavior of individuals in the future, to the happiness and happiness of families in the future, to the harmony and progress of society in the future, and to international peace and justice in the future. Therefore, in order to develop their intelligence, cultivate their sentiment and exercise their will, through various activities, we can establish a new mind that can adjust internal needs and external pressures and maintain a balanced state. In order to achieve this goal, early childhood education should be devoted to promoting children's health; Keep children's emotional health; Promote children's social development; Develop children's creativity; Develop children's language ability and psychological ability; Cultivate children's moral judgment ability. In particular, children's ability to overcome difficulties, solve problems, be independent, help each other, communicate interpersonal relationships and adapt to changes should be paid more attention. One-sided pursuit of children's intellectual development and neglect of the cultivation of sound personality and the development of physical and mental health will destroy children's intellectual and personality integrity and physical and mental health development. Therefore, the education of children's all-round physical, intellectual, moral, emotional and aesthetic development should not be ignored or emphasized. Fourthly, encouraging initiative and paying attention to creating children's development is a multi-level process of mutual integration and interaction between biological factors and social factors; Development is not an isolated and static development due to a certain factor; Children's development is active in the interaction between subject and object, and children are not passive. Children develop their knowledge and personality through activities, manipulating objects and interacting with people, not only sitting, but also listening to or watching what teachers say and do. Therefore, it is very important to attach importance to the cultivation of children's creativity. Therefore, teachers should reduce their control over children. Strengthen its creative behavior. Children's creative behavior is mainly manifested in: not mechanically imitating, not following others, being able to carry out activities independently, and treating "old things" in new ways, such as using semicircular building blocks as cradles and rectangular building blocks as beds in the doll's house game. Teachers often strengthen children's original behavior by nodding, smiling, hugging, praising and rewarding, so as to consolidate children's creative behavior and promote the development of their creative talents. Put forward enlightening questions, and constantly improve the difficulty and creativity of the questions, so as to cultivate children's habit of loving and diligent thinking, and encourage children to question and solve problems. When children ask questions, teachers choose ways to promote children to solve problems according to the difficulty of the questions and the development level of children's knowledge, experience and thinking. Teachers provide children with time to explore and create freely, respect their hobbies, give them the opportunity to choose freely, let them boldly imagine and be brave in creating, and form a healthy, lively and relaxed psychological atmosphere. Children's creative thinking and practice are not always successful. Teachers enable children to have more knowledge and experience and a higher level of intelligence. They can find problems and mistakes in some unique ideas put forward by children, and even foresee that they may lead to failure. Even so, teachers should not stop children from trying. Because children not only have the right to experience success and enjoy the happiness of success, but also have the opportunity to experience failure and experience the pain of failure. Teachers should help children overcome failures, enhance their confidence in overcoming difficulties, and help children get out of difficulties and move towards success. In a word, children are the main body of education, and teachers' guiding role is combined with children's initiative, independence and creative development, rather than being subjectively directed and arranged by teachers. The contents and methods of education with rich contents and various forms should be based on promoting the physical and mental development of preschool children. The content of educational activities is flexible and diverse, and there is no unified regulation. You can use any textbook you want, and you don't need to unify it. You can make up some content yourself as needed. For example, on July 1 day, Hong Kong returned to the motherland, and teachers made their own teaching materials to let children know about Hong Kong and the Opium War, and let them make sour beans. Textbooks require salt, but because the environment does not allow it, teachers become jealous. Teaching content should not be limited to textbooks, but should be more exposed to nature and society. Let children develop through their own activities. By manipulating, operating, observing, experimenting and using one's hands and brain, we can gain direct experience, develop intelligence and increase knowledge. The ways, forms and methods of educational activities should be varied. It includes group activities, collective activities and individual activities; It includes not only indoor study activities, but also outdoor observation and exploration activities, as well as going out to visit. Group activities are just a form, not the only one. According to the age characteristics of children, we should pay special attention to the educational function of collective activities and individual activities, so as to promote each child to get folk customs display at the original level. We should take the principle of "using the senses" and give children more opportunities to operate and experience by themselves. It is necessary to "give full play to the interaction of various educational means." Sixth, combining protection with education, family and child care are important components of early education. Teachers should analyze children's mental health and sports work with health care doctors and nurses, pay attention to individual introverted, talkative and withdrawn children, so that children can feel safe, enhance their self-confidence, be lively and cheerful, and actively participate in various activities; During the day's activities, we should make reasonable arrangements, adhere to the combination of static and dynamic, group activities and free activities, and combine indoor and outdoor activities to carry out various games, especially to ensure children's exercise time, develop their basic movements and enhance their adaptability. The goal of education is achieved through the communication among teachers, students and parents. The dialogue between teachers and parents is very important, so as to get parents' educational cooperation, attract parents to participate in kindergarten education and educate their children together. Parents' cooperation is not dispensable, but decisive. Teachers can take advantage of various forms of activities, such as posting posters, holding parent-teacher conferences, individual conversations, reception days, and visiting parents to participate in educational activities. To publicize the knowledge of science education to parents and cooperate with parents to do a good job in teaching guarantee. The above points are just my personal thoughts on the reform and development of early childhood education, and the research on children's views and educational views such as curriculum and teaching games remains to be discussed.
