Educational notes are professional writing texts that teachers observe, describe and record some educational events in their daily educational activities, and express their thoughts, experiences, feelings, puzzles and reflections on the events. It can be said that educational notes are a true portrayal of preschool teachers' daily education and teaching life, a natural expression of emotions, and a record of successful experiences or failed lessons. Teachers' educational notes seem short, but they often contain teachers' understanding of young children, their positioning of teachers' roles, their reflection on their own teaching, their feelings about their careers and so on. Therefore, preschool teachers' educational notes are of great significance for enriching professional feelings, promoting professional development and optimizing kindergarten management. However, some kindergarten teachers have some problems in their writing, such as unclear understanding of its meaning, empty content, listing and reflection on superficial phenomena. In this regard, kindergarten managers should focus on raising awareness, strengthening guidance and improving the incentive mechanism.
First, why write educational notes?
(A) the significance of preschool teachers themselves
1. Enrich professional feelings.
Teachers' professional emotion is a dynamic factor in teachers' quality, and it is teachers' real feelings about their own professional labor, which is reflected in teachers' working attitude and belongs to advanced social emotion. Many studies show that excellent teachers must have rich professional knowledge, but people with rich professional knowledge may not become excellent teachers. Preschool teachers, in particular, are facing children, which not only requires teachers to have encyclopedic knowledge, but also requires teachers to use their rich professional feelings to turn knowledge into caring and living education and promote children's physical and mental development. At the same time, preschool teachers are faced with complicated things, heavy workload and parents' incomprehension, and need their own professional feelings to support them. Educational notes are written by teachers to record their own understanding, experience, feelings, conflicts, thinking and reflection on education, which is helpful to deepen and enrich teachers' understanding of the profession, deeply appreciate the happiness of education and enhance teachers' sense of mission.
2. Promote professional growth.
In the professional development of preschool teachers, it is the most critical for preschool teachers to promote professional development from their own aspects. Bacon said, "Writing makes people precise". Through writing, educational notes help preschool teachers to clarify their professional goals, sort out the laws of preschool education, be good at learning and thinking, and conceptualize individual experiences. At the same time, educational notes require preschool teachers to learn to observe carefully, be good at discovering problems, sum up successful experiences and failed lessons from educational notes, accumulate their own educational wisdom, and constantly reflect, discover, study and solve problems they encounter in educational practice. In this way, teachers can constantly refine their own understanding, gradually form their own educational ideas, and constantly improve their educational research ability and theoretical level, thus making teachers' professional growth in a dynamic, sustained and open state.
(B) the significance of kindergarten managers
In the management of kindergartens, we should also take "teachers as the foundation". In order to realize the humanistic management of preschool teachers, managers must understand their psychology, their behavior and their ideological trends, so as to improve management methods and put forward effective management measures to promote their development. Although managers have frequent contact with teachers every day, after all, they can't pay attention to what teachers say and do, not to mention what they observe may not be the truth. The teacher's notes record her daily teaching work, their knowledge and understanding of education, and their views on children. It is also a true expression of their natural feelings, and even a suggestion on the problems in kindergarten management. Therefore, by carefully reading, analyzing and reflecting on teachers' notes, managers can understand teachers' real thoughts, educational ideas, puzzles, psychological trends and teachers' voices. Let managers constantly adjust management ideas, refine educational management methods, provide necessary help for teachers, and let managers and teachers grow and progress together.
Second, the problems of preschool teachers writing educational notes
(A) the meaning is unclear
As the saying goes: state of mind determines state. Many teachers and managers do not have a clear and profound understanding of the significance or function of writing educational notes, and do not understand the importance of writing educational notes to their professional growth and kindergarten work. Most of them are completing the learning tasks assigned by the kindergarten, in order to cope with the assessment of superiors. For example, many teachers think that it is enough to do their own practical teaching work, and there is no need to write some educational reflections and teaching essays. Under this understanding, many teachers often "write" and are afraid of writing. As a result, teachers are worried and shy when they mention educational notes. In many cases, they act as "porters", move from here to there and stick to it, often without knowing what they are talking about. In addition, some teachers write educational notes for utilitarian purposes, such as professional titles and recognition, rather than to improve their professional development. Can't calm down to find problems, think about problems, and be eager for success. Once you can't succeed, you will be disheartened and even reject writing educational notes.
The content is empty.
In the writing of preschool teachers' educational notes, there are often problems of rich forms and empty contents. Looking at the teacher's educational notes, the article seems to be harmonious in title, fluent in sentences and clear in organization. However, if we read it carefully, we will find that it lacks individuality, is far-fetched and moans without illness. Because each teacher has different professional development experience, different understanding of education and different writing level and purpose, educational notes are teachers' own understanding, thinking, reflection and explanation of educational events, which have a strong personal color. They should express their real educational thoughts in their own language instead of mechanically applying the theories of experts and scholars.
Lack of guidance
It is difficult for preschool teachers to find educational events in educational notes. Even if there are, they are confused about how to explain the reasons behind the incident, how to refine their own views, and how to sum up experiences and lessons. However, many kindergartens do not provide teachers with corresponding specific guidance. At the same time, many educational notes have not received corresponding feedback, and they often sink into the sea as soon as they are handed in, and no specific feedback has been given to teachers for some problems in the notes. Therefore, many teachers feel helpless, difficult and bored when writing educational notes.
Third, how to help preschool teachers write educational notes
deepen one's understanding
Before writing educational notes, preschool teachers must deeply understand why they should write educational notes. What is the significance of writing educational notes? In this regard, kindergartens can organize teachers to discuss "why to write educational notes", so that everyone can freely discuss, analyze and think, express their true thoughts on educational notes, and let teachers clearly understand the significance of educational notes to their professional development in the ideological collision. At the same time, we can invite experienced teachers to talk about the significance of educational notes in their teaching experience, or organize teachers to read some excellent educational notes, so as to deepen their understanding and understanding of the significance of educational notes to teachers' development through reading and learning, and solve the problem of teachers' attitude.
(2) Strengthen guidance
When writing educational notes for the first time, teachers generally have the phenomenon of "cooking without rice" or "cooking without rice", fearing difficulties. They feel a heavy burden on the weekly educational notes assigned by the director, and the contents of their articles are vague and even plagiarized. In view of this situation, we can lower the requirements at the beginning of writing and make everyone realize that as long as we write, we will improve. At the same time, on the one hand, the director should carefully read the educational notes handed in by the teacher, communicate with the teacher and give specific guidance. On the other hand, organize teachers to discuss educational notes. First of all, strengthen theoretical study, organize everyone to read and study the works of some experts and scholars, improve teachers' theoretical literacy, enhance their insight into education, and learn to guide their own educational practice with theory. Secondly, organize teachers to learn from each other and evaluate notes. Select excellent educational notes from different angles, so that everyone can analyze their own educational ideas, educational methods, problem-solving methods, good aspects and shortcomings, and improve together.
(C) improve the incentive mechanism
In order to continuously improve the writing level of teachers' educational notes, it is necessary to improve some incentive mechanisms. First of all, in the kindergarten, we will carry out note evaluation activities, select excellent educational notes every month, communicate with the whole park, and recommend relevant publications for publication, so that teachers can personally appreciate the value of their work and enhance their self-confidence. Secondly, educational notes are included in the monthly work assessment and linked to bonuses. For example, the scores can be quantified from the aspects of educational ideas, educational methods, and the writing level of educational notes, and the scores can be added to the evaluation of teachers' work performance as monthly assessment results.
On the basis of good observation, preschool teachers' educational notes capture the dribs and drabs in teaching activities, enrich their professional feelings and promote their professional development through their own feelings, reflections and understanding. As a kindergarten manager, by reading and analyzing teachers' educational notes, we can adjust management in time, realize effective management, drive the development of the whole kindergarten, and make every child benefit and grow up happily and healthily.
