Teaching primary school content in advance and strengthening knowledge and skills training ... The phenomenon that kindergarten education tends to be "primary school" has been repeatedly banned. It not only deprives children of childhood happiness, but also dampens their interest in learning and affects their healthy physical and mental development. Recently, the Ministry of Education issued a notice to carry out the special treatment of "primary school" in kindergartens, including prohibiting the teaching of primary school curriculum content, correcting the "primary school" education model, and insisting on zero-starting teaching in primary schools.

Kindergartens should master "hard knowledge"

At the entrance of a kindergarten in Gudang Street, Xihu District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, parents who came to pick up their children exchanged views on what cram schools to give their children during the summer vacation.

At the beginning of the holiday, not only the make-up classes in kindergartens are "hot", but also the courses in kindergartens have changed. Ms. Zhang, who lives in Binjiang District of Hangzhou, showed the reporter the teaching schedule of her children in kindergarten. English is included in the list of small class teaching activities, and English, Pinyin and Mathematics are included in the subject plan of middle class and large class.

"The middle class has morning reading every day, and the teacher will check pinyin and abacus in the morning reading. If you can't answer or answer wrong, you will be criticized. " Ms. Zhang said, "Reciting addition and subtraction within 10, recognizing syllables as a whole, and being able to greet and communicate in English are all' hard knowledge' that kindergarten children must master."

An educator interviewed said that the current "primary school" trend of kindergarten education is mainly manifested in two aspects: organizing children's activities in the form of primary school teaching and teaching the content of primary school education in advance. For example, the primary school teaching mode of "chalk+blackboard" is adopted, and the teacher speaks and the children listen; The teacher asked and the children answered; Teachers demonstrate and children watch; Teaching AIDS are all words and few pictures ... In addition, some kindergartens also implement the schedule of primary school, with 3-4 classes in the morning and 2-3 classes in the afternoon, each class is 40 minutes.

Some parents have reported that many private kindergartens have made a big fuss about the connection between children and launched various training courses, which has boosted the competitive atmosphere. Various remedial classes, super-long classes and even "prodigy classes" also came into being.

The Notice of the Ministry of Education on the Management of the Special Work of "Primary School" in Kindergartens requires that primary school courses such as Chinese Pinyin, Literacy, Computing, and English should be taught in advance, and social training institutions should teach primary school contents in the name of preschool classes and young children's connection. At the same time, correct the "primary school" education mode, including giving priority to classroom teaching, or strengthening knowledge and skills training by mechanical recitation, memory, copying and calculation.

There is a generation gap between primary school textbooks and kindergarten education.

In view of the tendency of "primary school" in kindergartens, some netizens believe that the problem of "pulling out seedlings to encourage" in kindergartens lies in primary schools, and some primary schools pass pinyin in the first grade. If kindergarten doesn't teach, children can't keep up. "Some children are going to primary school at the age of 6. As a result, the primary school teacher said that the child's level was not enough and was returned to the young transfer class. "

Faced with the pressure of school choice in primary schools, parents will make plans after their children enter kindergarten classes; On the one hand, relying on kindergartens to strengthen the teaching of literacy, pinyin and calculation, on the other hand, we must buy all kinds of young textbooks to help children, so as to "catch up" the knowledge of the first grade of primary school. A parent in Henan said that there is a local primary school, which must be tested before entering school, and does not require less than 95 points.

"Fundamentally speaking, this is caused by the pressure transmission of' young'. For a good primary school, parents have to do this; In order to cater to the needs of parents, kindergartens have to do this. " According to Yang Jianhua, president of Zhejiang Social Society, parents should be efficient, schools should be "efficient", and the influx of social training institutions, together, "kidnapped" children from an early age.

At the same time, many parents believe that the current convergence of preschool education is also an important driving force. Parents of a website named "Lucky Flower MG" in Shanghai pointed out that there is a "generation gap" in the design of teaching materials in kindergartens and first grade primary schools. The first grade of primary school requires reading texts, which lacks the process of starting from scratch and going from shallow to deep, so children can only learn before school. "These textbooks are not written for children who have no foundation."

Liu Hui, an associate professor in the School of Education of Zhejiang University, believes that the deep anxiety of kindergarten's "primary school" stems from the uncertainty of parents and children about the admission mechanism and examination evaluation system. In the young connection stage, parents who don't want to leave their fate in the lottery rankings can only let their children study in advance and study hard.

According to the experts interviewed, the education of "pulling out seedlings to encourage children" exceeds the same level of children's cognitive, thinking and motor development, violates the laws of children's physical and mental development and learning characteristics, and brings burdens and pressures to children's physical, psychological and social adaptability.

Let early childhood education return to happiness itself

The Ministry of Education requires that primary schools should adhere to zero-starting teaching. Those who fail to implement zero-starting teaching, compress class hours and exceed the standard in the initial grade of primary schools should be resolutely corrected. When enrolling children, they should be organized to test their knowledge and ability in primary school content, or take children's participation in relevant competitions and certificates as the basis for enrollment.

At the same time, the Ministry of Education requires all localities to establish a regular supervision and reporting system. Kindergartens, primary schools and social training institutions with irregular teaching behavior and a tendency of "primary school" should be ordered to make rectification within a time limit. For those who have frequent problems and strong social reactions, the annual inspection one-vote veto system will be implemented, and if the circumstances are serious, internal strife will be imposed.

Teacher Han Chunhong, Department of Education, East China Normal University, said that in the early childhood education stage, parents should not only pay attention to their children's knowledge reserves, but also pay attention to their inner strength reserves to help them build effective mental health.

Cheng Xueqin, the head of the education department in Anji County, Zhejiang Province, believes that the kindergarten curriculum construction with games as the core can make every child enjoy "real games", enhance children's interest and make them more willing to learn actively and sustainably.
