What are the advantages of choosing subjects for kindergarten teachers?
First of all, kindergarten teachers are with children all day, and they know every child's performance, personality characteristics, preferences and educational environment like the back of their hands. This not only facilitates educational research, but also enables relevant experimental research to find good examples, which is naturally very conducive to drawing correct conclusions.
Secondly, kindergarten teachers have rich practical experience. This is also an important advantage of preschool teachers in educational research. As front-line preschool teachers, they have been involved in preschool education practice for a long time and have rich practical experience, but they often encounter some new problems. As long as these experiences are systematized and raised to the theoretical level, they can produce results; When encountering problems, as long as we use educational theory to think, study and discuss in practice, we can also achieve results. Whether it is success or failure in practice, as long as you study, summarize and analyze the reasons with your heart and put forward your own views, you can also achieve results.
So, what strategies should we preschool teachers pay attention to in the process of educational research?
First of all, we should study theoretical knowledge hard to lay a good foundation for educational research.
Kindergarten education research is a research activity with the main purpose of solving educational practice problems under the guidance of theory and using scientific research methods. To carry out educational research, we must have certain theoretical literacy of educational research. This quality mainly refers to mastering certain basic education theories (pedagogy, psychology, management, kindergarten education policy, etc.). ), methodology and educational research methods.
In practice, only by arming ourselves with educational theories and related theories can we stand tall and see far and know the future direction of preschool education. Have the teachers who have participated in the project or research had the experience that there are some examples when writing, and they should make a summary and improvement with educational theories and concepts when summing up finally? This requires teachers to have a certain theoretical level and generalization ability. When scientific theory collides with practice, generate will gain wisdom, bear the fruits of creation and create new methods and experiences.
On the contrary, if we lack a certain educational theory, we will show that there is no stamina for teaching and scientific research in practice, which is embodied in:
1. I have rich educational experience, but I can't sum up regular knowledge, so it is difficult to carry out educational research.
2. I have been engaged in education for many years and have some educational experience. Although I can generally complete the teaching task, my teaching level has not improved much and I can't make a breakthrough.
I don't know much about children. I violated the law of education and teaching in teaching methods and contents. I don't know why, I made mistakes, and I don't know where to learn from them.
Some preschool teachers have a lot of advanced experience, but they never want to sum it up with educational theory. Many of our teachers have this experience-after seeing other people's articles, they often sigh: I have already experienced what others have written, and I have done the same, but I never thought about writing these things. In fact, there are many fresh things in our hearts that can be written and published, but I never thought of writing and publishing, so I missed the opportunity again and again. Therefore, we should study hard theoretical knowledge, improve our professional theoretical level and lay a good foundation for educational research.
Second, pay attention to accumulation, and streams will also become rivers.
Educational scientific research is a long accumulation process, and it is a process of thinking, exploring, summarizing and sublimating small teaching problems in general teaching. Without quantitative accumulation and long-term analysis, there will be no educational and scientific research achievements. In daily teaching and life, insisting on writing reflections, writing teaching papers and participating in research projects after class all pave the way for educational research and do preliminary work for educational research. The author thinks that being a conscientious person in teaching, being good at discovering, being diligent in recording and daring to question is the only way to carry out educational research, which not only solves some problems in teaching, but also is an effective way to improve one's teaching internal strength. Only by persevering and accumulating and refining in the ordinary can we gather into teaching and research achievements with our own characteristics.
Third, use the shortcomings enumeration method.
List the problems existing in pre-school education one by one, then use educational theory or psychological theory to analyze why these problems exist, and finally find out the countermeasures to solve them through research. This kind of research is of great practical significance and easy to produce results.
Fourth, reading monographs and learning with questions should be combined.
First, reading several monographs that urgently need to improve our knowledge structure can not only improve our theoretical level and broaden our thinking, but also bring us many new insights and new ideological sparks in the learning process; The second is to learn relevant theories with problems encountered in work or research. Because of the need, learning is full of interest, great motivation and high efficiency, and it can also enhance the consciousness of learning theory and the practical ability of using theoretical analysis to solve problems.
5. Closely combine the research process with the daily work of the kindergarten.
The fundamental purpose of kindergarten education research is to improve the guarantee of teaching quality. Therefore, research should be closely combined with work to realize the unity of research process and work process. In this sense, the essence of kindergarten education research is to work with a research attitude.
Practical education research can be roughly divided into the following steps:
1. Find problems that need to be solved urgently from practice.
2. Analyze the phenomenon of the problem and find out the main reason of the problem.
3. Formulate solutions to problems, such as reform measures and methods.
4. Implement the reform plan in kindergarten practice.
5. Constantly reflect in practice, revise and improve the scheme, and then implement it.
6. Summarize the implementation effect of the scheme.
To carry out research according to this step is to constantly discover problems, constantly reflect and constantly improve the work.
Sixth, locate the research scope within your own strength.
The daily work of preschool teachers is very complicated and hard, so when conducting educational research, it is best not to completely avoid their daily work to conduct so-called topic research, so as not to increase the burden on teachers, and topic research is not our specialty. There are three aspects of preschool teachers' major in educational research in China. One is the specific operation method of preschool education; The second is the summary of early childhood education experience; The third is the study of combining practice with theory. We should try our best to combine research with daily education and teaching, so as not to increase the burden, but also to produce results easily.
Seven, "expert" is a necessary prerequisite to become an expert.
Choose a "point" in kindergarten education that you are good at as the research object, and then continue to study. With the deepening of our research, we will have more and more information, and we will certainly have a lot of unique understanding of this "point" problem, which will easily make our research have a radiation effect, and then produce a series of achievements, and then become experts in a certain field.
People's energy is limited, and so is their ability. The fixed "point" research will make our energy more concentrated, lead the research deeper and make it easier to succeed.
Eight, the combination of learning, doing and writing
Learning can improve our theoretical level, broaden our horizons and produce new ways of thinking; Learning can also provide theoretical guidance for our "doing" and "writing". "Doing" can provide us with experience and research topics. "Writing" can continuously sublimate the experience we have gained in "doing", and at the same time, it can further systematize the theories we have learned and deepen our understanding; In addition, the recognition of "written" results will increase our sense of accomplishment and research interest. The combination of the three will continuously improve our research ability, educational ability and learning ability of early childhood education.
Nine, become a research teacher
In this era, only through lifelong learning to develop and improve themselves, can we better play their social values. To be a research-oriented teacher, we must first have a correct understanding of teachers' scientific research. Teachers' scientific research can promote their own professional development, but in the final analysis, it is to let children get better development. The research carried out in the practice of preschool education is the research in the process of educational practice and also the research for practice. Secondly, it is necessary to clarify what is the necessary scientific research ability. Teachers must also have the ability to summarize and write educational experience and scientific research papers. Third, we should attach importance to cooperation with other teachers. It is necessary to discuss and study children's observation records with other teachers, analyze the characteristics and needs of children's development, and discuss education issues together to make education more comprehensive and objective.
