What is a high-width stadium?

Height and width course is a course developed by Hay Scoop Education Research Institute founded by the famous American child psychologist Weikat at 196 1. It is a curriculum scheme based on Piaget's cognitive development theory, also known as hay spoon curriculum.

Main ideas of high-width courses

We must have such an experience in life. When others tell us or show us how to do something, we often can't learn much, because in this case, we are passive learners. On the contrary, if we have the time and materials to study independently, we can often learn more, because at this time we are active learners.

As can be seen from the above comparison, the best way to learn is to get some guidance first, and then explore for yourself. In this learning process, both teachers and students play an active role and students are active participants. And this kind of learning is the theme of the high-width course.

The concept of high-width courses

High-width courses are introduced in detail in the book "Educating Children". In this curriculum model, children construct their own knowledge world. Children acquire knowledge through direct interaction with people, materials, events and ideas. Children can make plans and stick to their interests and goals.

In a high-width classroom, teachers are as active as children. They actively choose materials and design activities to talk to children in a supportive and even challenging way. In this way, activities are not only spontaneously produced by children, but also conform to the characteristics of age development. High-width courses call this model active participatory learning.

High-width course content

As a systematic curriculum model, high-width curriculum involves all aspects of children's development. In order to organize children's learning, the high-width curriculum has established the curriculum content in five aspects of school preparation determined by the American educational goal group: learning methods; Language, reading, writing and communication; Social and emotional development; Physical development and physical and mental health; Art and science, among which art and science are further divided into mathematics, science and technology, social learning and art.

It can be found that this is similar to the five regions divided by China, which further proves the feasibility of high-width courses in China.
