First, long-term goals
Pursuing the great goal beneficial to children's lifelong development is the value orientation of children's science education. Nowadays, the rapid development of society has caused great changes in education. With the advocacy and implementation of lifelong education, children's learning has stepped out of the narrow scope of the past and began to become a complete process throughout their lives.
For the sake of children's lifelong learning and development, children's science education should pay attention to children's learning fun and the educational goal and value of learning, emphasize the cultivation of children's intrinsic learning motivation and interest, and develop children's continuous learning ability.
Second, the content of life
Life-oriented educational content is an important prerequisite and condition to trigger children's active learning and inquiry. The educational content close to children's life not only provides the premise and possibility for children to acquire scientific knowledge and experience that can be truly understood and internalized.
Moreover, only by letting children truly experience the significance of learning content to themselves and people related to them, as well as the problems they want to understand and solve at present, can they actively learn and explore, discover and feel the magic of the world around them, experience and understand science around them, and maintain a permanent strong curiosity and desire to explore.
Third, the exploration process.
Children's science education should be a process of guiding children to explore, discover and acquire knowledge. In other words, children's knowledge and experience are no longer directly told and taught to children by teachers, but acquired by children themselves.
Children are active learners, and the role of teachers is no longer to explain or demonstrate to children step by step with examples or operational experiments, but to support, trigger and guide children's exploration and discovery process.
Early childhood science education activities:
Kindergarten science education refers to an activity in which teachers use the surrounding environment to provide materials and opportunities for children, explore the surrounding world through their own senses, obtain information and find answers.
At the same time, children's science education activities are an important guarantee to achieve the goal of science education and an effective method to implement the content of science education. However, due to the limitation of children's thinking development level, teachers need to correctly organize scientific activities to help children gain scientific experience.
Education and environment are interdependent and independent related whole, and their overall connotation is ubiquitous in education and teaching, which requires changing teaching methods and concepts in early childhood education, skillfully integrating teaching content into daily life and learning environment, and effectively combining teaching with environment.
When creating a teaching environment, we should start from children's psychology and follow the age characteristics to provide an interesting and scientific teaching environment.
