For a long time, kindergarten nurses meant cleaning, taking charge of children's safety, managing children's clothes and class equipment. It seems that nurses are only responsible for "protection", while "education" is a teacher's business, and "integration of nursing and education" is actually difficult to implement. The laws and regulations of early childhood education in China clearly stipulate the responsibilities of nurses. For example, in the newly promulgated Regulations on Kindergarten Work, in addition to the above requirements, there is also a very important provision that is often ignored by the majority of kindergarten teachers: "Nurses should manage children's lives under the guidance of teachers and cooperate with teachers in this class to organize educational activities." On the one hand, it is the state's recognition of nurses as an early childhood care and education profession, on the other hand, it also implies the role requirements of nurses as educators. In the case of 1 above, Teacher C didn't have the working attitude of "I'm just a nurse, and teaching is not my responsibility", but actively integrated into the role of teacher. By letting the children sing the songs they learned yesterday, the disorder of activities is avoided, which not only reduces the hidden waste of transition time, but also cooperates well with the teacher's work. In fact, in this incident, she has already played the role of a teacher, responding to specific educational situations as a teacher. Without a certain educational awareness and wit, it is difficult to do it. In addition, from the above case, we can easily see that Teacher C is not indifferent to the teaching activities in the class like other nurses, but is very familiar with the teaching activities and educational content in the class, otherwise it will be difficult for her to transfer the songs that her children learned yesterday to the present situation.
Second, role transformation: realize the integration of education and education.
In two cases, teacher C arranged for children to wash their hands and drink water after returning to the classroom after outdoor activities, fulfilling the role of nurses in traditional educational concepts; However, just when Teacher A asked her to "talk about Tong Tong's performance", in fact, Teacher C's role has gone beyond the traditional role expectation of taking care of children's diet and class hygiene, but according to the needs of the situation, she became an evaluator on how to put a few small red flags on Tong Tong. In this case, the three teachers are free to change roles: Teacher B does not have a centralized view when evaluating children, but includes the other two teachers in the evaluation subject; Teacher a gave the evaluation right to teacher c and gave her the opportunity to go on stage. It is precisely because the teachers who attend classes on weekdays give nurses many opportunities that nurses can gradually change their identity and role during exercise.
Third, role expectation: nurses are the implementers and auditors of the course.
Nurses are the implementers of the course.
1. Nurses play a vital role in infant health education. The "Guidelines for Early Childhood Education (Trial)" clearly requires: "Kindergartens must give priority to protecting children's lives and promoting children's health." It embodies the basic role of health education in children's development. The content of children's health education involves all areas of children's lives. Therefore, children's health education is life education, and the concept of health education should be infiltrated into every link of daily life, such as washing, eating, cleaning, sleeping, exercising and playing games, and health education strategies should be implemented. Nurses can be said to have the closest relationship with children's daily life. If nurses can integrate the elements of health education in time and infiltrate the concept of health education in the above-mentioned life links, its role will be far greater than the health class specially organized by teachers. Specifically, when washing and cleaning, nurses should not only play the role of supervision, supervision and help, but also cultivate children's good hygiene habits; When eating, if the nurse can go beyond the past in order to tidy up the table and tableware as soon as possible, she will only pay attention to whether the children finish eating regularly and quantitatively, and pay more attention to the children's self-care ability, the reasons for the change of appetite and the mood of eating. The educational value of cultural relics protection will be highlighted ... It can be seen that for nurses, "education is everywhere and education will last forever". The key depends on whether nurses can seize the opportunity of conservation in daily life, play an educational role from it, and achieve "promoting education through protection". It can be said that nurses play an important role in promoting children's physical development and meeting their physiological needs, and undertake the most basic tasks in children's development.
2. Nurses play an auxiliary role in the specific implementation of the course. When compiling course teaching materials, the responsibility of nurses should not be limited to distributing teaching AIDS and teaching materials, but should put forward their own opinions on the production of teaching materials according to their daily understanding and concern for children, so as to help teachers improve the production and placement of teaching AIDS. In the process of specific activities, in the past, nurses only cooperated with teachers to maintain order and participated in and helped teachers to complete teaching activities when necessary. In fact, nurses should also pay close attention to children's conditions, especially children with weak abilities, adjust their own conditions in time, and guide and help children to participate in teachers' activities. After the activity, the nurse should not only be responsible for sorting out the materials, but also reflect the problems found in the activity to the teacher in time, including her own confusion, and grow up in constant summary and reflection. In fact, nurses are indispensable in all aspects of educational activities. As a course closely related to children's life, kindergarten curriculum needs the participation of nurses, so as to better play the educational coordination role of nurses.
(b) Nurses are course examiners.
Deliberation refers to the activity of making certain choices through in-depth investigation, discussion and weighing of specific objects and phenomena. Curriculum evaluation is an important way and method of curriculum development. Kindergarten curriculum review refers to the curriculum review aimed at kindergarten curriculum development. Curriculum development can not be completed by a single teacher, but needs the strength of the kindergarten team, which can be multi-level and diversified. As an important base for kindergarten curriculum implementation, class provides the possibility for class-centered curriculum development. As an important member of the class, nurses can put forward suggestions on curriculum implementation from different angles and aspects, thus giving birth to some new strategies. The following is a work sentiment written by a nurse: "Before the activity ended, I was mainly responsible for sorting out various materials. Now, in addition to doing these jobs well, I also communicate with the teacher in time about the problems found in the activities, such as the special interests and needs of individual children. After the head teacher found the problem, we thought of many ways to solve it together. Unexpectedly, I can do it so well! " In fact, this nurse has participated in the course review of this class, but this review is more free in form than organized review. Therefore, in kindergarten, every participant has the right to review and develop the curriculum, the only difference is everyone's focus and angle. Therefore, participants can analyze and discuss the same problem from multiple angles, and with the joint efforts of faculty and staff, the course can develop better.
In terms of family co-education, the Working Rules of Kindergarten stipulates: "Kindergartens should actively cooperate with young children's families, help parents create a good family education environment, publicize children's scientific conservation and education knowledge to parents, and jointly undertake the task of early childhood education." "Kindergartens can take various forms to guide parents to correctly understand the contents and methods of kindergarten conservation education, hold regular parent-teacher meetings, and accept parents' visits and consultations. "It is not difficult to see that coeducation mentioned in the regulations includes both education and conservation. However, the parents' open day has always turned into a kindergarten education exhibition day, and the very important factor of conservation is often ignored. In fact, kindergartens can give nurses a space to show themselves on the parents' open day, so that they can provide some effective conservation strategies for parents in combination with their own conservation experience and practice, which not only mobilizes the enthusiasm of nurses, but also achieves the goal of co-education in their homes.
Of course, the "integration of nursing and education" does not only require nurses to "protect education" and "promote education with protection" Teachers should also change their inherent knowledge, put down their airs, start from small things, cherish the achievements of nurses' labor, actively participate in nurses' work, help nurses improve their education level and optimize the class atmosphere, so that nursing and teaching can promote each other and complement each other.
