Why is the practice and research of etiquette quality education a national 11th Five-Year Plan? From the perspective of personal cultivation, etiquette can be said to be the external expression of a person's inner cultivation and quality. From the perspective of communication, etiquette can be said to be an art, a way of communication, or a communication method suitable for interpersonal communication. Showing respect and friendliness is a customary practice in interpersonal communication; From the perspective of communication, etiquette can be said to be a skill of mutual communication in interpersonal communication. It is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation to let children go to society with etiquette, which has always been regarded as one of the moral standards to measure people's behavior and an important aspect to reflect the quality of the people. However, today's phenomenon is worrying: primary and secondary school students are seriously lacking in manners. Some teenagers don't know how to respect others, don't know manners and don't know manners at school; I don't know how to address others in society, and even do whatever I want; I don't know how to honor my elders at home ... etiquette education has once again attracted attention. On the National Day of 2008, Zhao Jincheng, member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of Shenyang CPPCC, submitted a proposal on setting up etiquette courses in kindergartens, primary and secondary schools. He strongly urged: In view of the continuity of human behavior, etiquette education must start at an early age. Zhao Jincheng found in the investigation: "among the young students now, they don't know how to respect others, don't know how to be polite, and don't know how to be polite at school;" I don't know how to address others in society, and even follow my inclinations, full of foul language; I don't know how to honor the elders at home ... These phenomena make us worry: Can the reputation of' the state of etiquette' be passed down in this generation? " "Now the children's most basic etiquette is missing. Disobeying public order, speaking rudely, being rude, often taking advantage of classmates, disrespecting elders and others, quarreling and calling names from time to time, some parents don't pay attention to civilized and polite education for their children, but only pay attention to intellectual education and don't pay attention to civilized and polite; Some parents also unilaterally believe that it doesn't matter whether people are polite or not in modern society, as long as they study hard and have real skills. "A primary school teacher said with anxiety." The Chinese nation is famous for its etiquette, but many primary and middle school students only know how to express their courtesy by writing, but they can't. Polite expressions such as' thank you' and' sorry' are rarely mentioned, such as littering, waste paper, talking in the classroom without anyone watching, and other uncivilized phenomena are very common among students. "An educator said frankly. The future of the country lies in children, and the future of children lies in education. Among all children's education, etiquette, character and quality education are undoubtedly the most important in a child's life. However, in the golden age of children's education, almost all kindergartens in China offer almost zero courses on character and etiquette quality, which is not only due to historical reasons, but also related to the civilization of the whole society and parents' educational concepts. Under the background of building a harmonious society and advocating the concept of honor and disgrace, character, etiquette and quality education have attracted much attention from Chinese people. Kindergartens and primary schools all over the country have also carried out etiquette education. However, due to the lack of authoritative teaching materials and expert guidance training, it is often half the effort. It is against this background that the first textbook of children's etiquette education in China, edited by Professor Jin, a famous etiquette expert in China, and Professor Liang, a preschool education expert, was published by China Children's Publishing House. This set of teaching materials has been put into experimental use in nearly a thousand kindergartens across the country, and the teaching effect is remarkable. In order to better carry out etiquette, character and quality education in the golden age of early childhood education, the Institute of Educational Science declared the topic "Practice and Research of Etiquette, Character and Quality Education", which is a national 11th Five-Year Plan topic, and is more conducive to the majority of early childhood educators to face the development of quality education with a scientific research attitude. Kindergartens in developed countries such as the United States, Britain, South Korea and Japan. There are special etiquette classrooms and etiquette classes. Children wear their own national costumes and learn basic etiquette knowledge with great interest in the well-arranged etiquette classrooms with their own characteristics. And this will be the inevitable trend of the development of early childhood education in China! The significance of etiquette, character and quality education in kindergartens: 1. Behavior determines habits, habits determine character, and character determines fate-don't miss the best time for children to develop good behavior. Dr. Montessori, the most famous educator in the world, pointed out that the period for children to develop good behavior habits is 2.5-6 years old. If we miss this opportunity, it's like we lost a needle while knitting a sweater. Even if you find it, there will always be traces of repair in the future. If we don't find it, the lost needle may leave a big hole in this sweater in the future. A sweater can be taken off and reweaved if it loses a stitch, but can the child grow up again? Therefore, etiquette and character quality education in early childhood can not only get the best results, but also be the most important link in early childhood education. Because good personality and behavior habits will affect a child's life. Why do you say that? Let's give a small example. The survey results show that seemingly insignificant polite expressions such as "sorry" and "please" between people lead to nearly 600,000 criminal cases due to trivial disputes in China every year, accounting for 85% of the total number of criminal cases in China every year. In other words, today's teenagers and adults have not been taught to respect others, say sorry when they do something wrong, and be tolerant when others do something wrong. As a result, nearly one million people are put into prison every year and sentenced to several years, decades or even death. Similarly, nearly a million people were injured, and some even became disabled or even died. What we are going to do today cannot guarantee that every child will succeed, but it can guarantee that every child will not hurt others or be hurt in the future life journey. We can't guarantee that every child will be excellent, but we can guarantee that children will learn to respect others and be respected by others. 2, the most significant-parents% recognition and satisfaction, whether it is English, literacy, mental arithmetic, or piano, roller skating, painting, are the teaching of knowledge and skills, children can learn at any time. A doctoral supervisor of Shanghai International Studies University made a special study, and finally came to the conclusion that by the second year of college, children with the same IQ who started learning foreign languages in kindergartens and primary schools had almost the same English level as those in junior high schools. Good manners and personality are the foundation of a person's success in life and a compulsory course for starting a life. Etiquette and character education is most suitable for kindergartens, so it will be recognized by parents. Children's etiquette education is divided into four parts, starting from children's admission ceremony, daily life and strengthening education. Moreover, through the practical exploration of nearly 100 kindergartens, the center has extensively absorbed the work practice of front-line teachers in kindergartens and compiled a set of teaching plans. Every class has an interactive and extended course between children and parents, so that etiquette and character education can achieve the best results. For example, in Tangshan, a private kindergarten had to provide etiquette education. As a result, when the announcement was made before the semester, the parents of several kindergartens around led their children to transfer to this kindergarten. In Lei Yu Kindergarten in Taiyuan, etiquette has become the characteristic of the kindergarten, and the teachers are also brand-new. They receive countless thank-you letters from their parents every year, especially after their children go to primary school, which shows a huge gap compared with the children around them. Lei Yu kindergarten has become a well-known local brand. Every year, kindergarten colleagues from all over the country come to visit and study in an endless stream. The kindergarten director was also hired as the core lecturer by the Etiquette Lecturer Group of the Training Center of the Institute of Education to teach teacher etiquette for kindergarten teachers all over the country. After establishing etiquette education in Qingnian Road Kindergarten in Baoding, the relevant leaders of the Provincial Department of Education specially organized an evaluation team to conduct investigation and inspection. The teacher in charge of a kindergarten in Chenzhou, Hunan Province, received such a parent's inquiry, "What classes have been held in the school recently? My children will tell me, Mom, please get me a glass of water, which is much more polite than before … "3. Let all kindergarten teachers truly realize their personal values and make the team feel a sense of accomplishment. Teaching children manners is to teach them to live an elegant life, and a good personality is the foundation of all success. As Professor Liang, a famous education expert in China, said in the preface of this book: "Now we take a small step with our children, and he can take us a big step in the future. Now we give our children the most scientific and practical education, and they will repay us a great country and nation in the future. " We are now educating children about manners and character, just like picking up stones in the Gobi desert. Twenty years later, we regret picking fewer stones, because these stones have become the most precious diamonds for children. Therefore, it is the mission of every kindergarten teacher to educate children on etiquette and character from an early age, and it is also our unshirkable responsibility. Only in this way can our kindergarten teachers have a sense of accomplishment, realize their personal values and be more motivated to work. If every kindergarten can educate children well on etiquette, then our contribution to this city in 20 years will be no less than our long-term and entrusted books now. What we do is to accumulate virtue and do good deeds. The real foundation of building a harmonious society lies in kindergartens.
