In the part of kindergarten education, there is a book written by teacher Zhang Hong-"Children's Active Learning and Constructive Curriculum Design in Kindergarten", which has brought new enlightenment to my education and teaching.
Revelation 1: Emphasize that children are the main body of the curriculum. In the past, teachers only paid attention to collective teaching, while the constructive curriculum in kindergarten not only paid attention to collective teaching, but also paid attention to environmental creation, regional activities, home education and daily activities, which were listed as an inseparable part of the curriculum. Because children's learning is carried out through various activities, induced in tangible and intangible environments, and developed under the influence of family cooperation. Therefore, children, as the main body of the curriculum, gain their own development through their life and study in kindergarten. They are influenced by their peers, environment and social culture, and actively interact with them. This is a process of interaction, construction and development.
Revelation 2: Emphasize the life of the course content. When designing the theme, we should consider various factors of children, such as their own age characteristics, children's interests, children's original level of understanding, close relationship with children's lives, and humanistic areas of children's lives. , with special emphasis on the life of the course content. Throughout the primary school, middle school and big class, we found many interesting, practical, lively and practical life themes for children. Life is class, and class is life. There are inexhaustible teaching materials in life, so that children's existing simple life experiences can be better expressed. At the same time, we should pay attention to the combination of children's hands-on, brains and life experience.
Revelation 3: Emphasize the coexistence of suitability and challenge in material selection. When selecting materials, we should not only choose the original experience suitable for children, but also take care of the existing level of children, and at the same time choose challenging teaching materials. That is the most suitable and the most difficult. It is mainly reflected in the arrangement before and after the activity in the whole theme and the design arrangement in a specific activity.
Revelation 4: Emphasize active learning with children as the main body. The basic principle of constructive curriculum in kindergarten is: choose meaningful theme content that is beneficial to children's development and suitable for children's learning, and fully let children actively construct. It emphasizes active construction and impacts the traditional indoctrination education. In teaching activities, teachers should let children naturally acquire knowledge closely related to themselves and enlighten their wisdom through feeling, experiencing, understanding, reflection and comprehension.
Revelation 5: Focus-the change of teachers' teaching strategies. First, skillfully use teaching methods and means. Both teaching activities and daily activities attach great importance to the use of body language. Alternating motion and static not only embodies happy study, but also exercises the body; Emphasize the reality in the choice of teaching tools, make full use of waste materials, and use one thing for multiple purposes. The second is the teacher's guiding strategy in the process of children's learning. We should "teach people to fish", not "teach people to fish". Under the new situation, preschool teachers are no longer just "preachers and confusers", but should become guides of children's active learning, cooperators of children's games, supporters of children's activities, and cultivators of children's various abilities and positive personality.
Reading this book not only brings enlightenment to all aspects of preschool teachers' education and teaching, but also helps teachers to write papers and research topics. Teachers are advised to read this excellent collection of essays.
