Tao Xingzhi has created a wealth of early childhood science education thoughts with China characteristics. A thorough discussion on the significance, content, methods, teachers and modern enlightenment of Tao Xingzhi's early childhood science education will help promote the development and reform of early childhood science education. The curriculum reform of preschool education often reminds us of Tao Xingzhi and his educational thoughts. Reading Tao Xingzhi's collected works will often lead us to explore the theoretical source of curriculum reform. Tao Xingzhi is historical, modern, lost and forever. Today, with the deepening of curriculum reform, we need to re-read Tao Xingzhi and enrich our curriculum reform theory with the curriculum ideas contained in Tao Xingzhi's treasure house of educational thoughts. Many new ideas of this curriculum reform are closely related to Tao Xingzhi's educational theory, which is unique and keeps pace with the times. Tao Xingzhi's curriculum theory inspires us that reading Tao Xingzhi's curriculum theory must be combined with practice, and the key to curriculum reform is practice under the guidance of theory. Attention should be paid to the summary, generalization and popularization of practical experience. Tao Xingzhi's educational thought contains many new curriculum contents. Tao Xingzhi pointed out very clearly that "the most important and urgent responsibility of today's education sector is to solve school curriculum problems with pedagogy." Constructing curriculum is the center of school education. If the course is successfully solved, other problems can also be solved. "From this, we can design courses for children, that is, design education for children, that is, design life for children. In order to emphasize the importance of curriculum, Tao Xingzhi also discussed from the opposite side that "the effect of education today can't reach our hope because it is fundamentally wrong." "What is fundamentally wrong is the curriculum of primary schools." Here, Tao Xingzhi attributed the causes of educational disadvantages to the curriculum. A "center" and a "root" reveal the position of curriculum in education, which is correct. Respecting children's individual differences is also an important concept in the current new curriculum reform. This mutual penetration and promotion fully embodies his core ideas, and Tao Xingzhi always pays attention to social development and human development in social development. Some ideas in the trial of the Outline of Curriculum Reform for Early Childhood Education are similar to Tao Xingzhi's curriculum thoughts and theories. It can be said that Tao Xingzhi's educational thought and curriculum thought have important enlightenment to the curriculum reform of early childhood education. I think the enlightenment of Tao Xingzhi's educational thought and curriculum thought to curriculum reform mainly includes the following three aspects. (1) Tao Xingzhi's views on children and modern teachers and students. The key to preschool curriculum reform is to change ideas, and the highest level is the promotion of ideas. The core idea of the new curriculum is for the development of every child. This is essentially a question of establishing a correct view of children. To put it bluntly, the concept of children is how our teachers treat children, that is, how to know children, find children and educate them. In dealing with the relationship between teachers and students, the new curriculum emphasizes respect and appreciation. Teachers should not only respect every child, but also learn to appreciate every child's uniqueness, hobbies and achievements. Tao Xingzhi's view on children inspires and supports the contemporary curriculum reform in the following aspects. Regarding the understanding of children, Tao Xingzhi said, "Everyone says that children are small, but everyone is careful. If you look down on children, you are even younger than children. " "Children and young people are the biggest in our world, even bigger than any great man." Children are great because they have unlimited creative potential and are the hope of the motherland. We should respect and trust children, make friends with them like Tao Xingzhi, and regard them as our teachers. In class, we should create an environment in which teachers and students interact and participate equally. In the implementation of the new curriculum reform, there is happiness that we get through the role transformation. For example, in a scientific activity, children raised the question of whether peanuts are fruits or seeds in the discussion. I didn't tell them clearly at that time, but let them go home to find the answer. I can ask my parents or look in books. Who found the most accurate answer in the competition? Activities like this have changed the phenomenon of teachers blindly imparting knowledge, narrowed the distance between teachers and children, and made children more relaxed, interested and motivated. At the same time, we can't just see the "big" side of children and ignore their immature side. Tao Xingzhi said, "Children not only have mistakes, but also often have many mistakes, so the task of educators is to affirm their mistakes according to the facts and correct them." In educational practice, we often go too far and praise blindly, but give up guidance and strict requirements. Tao Xingzhi's reminder is necessary. Early childhood education should return to simplicity. Reform is not to complicate things. Similarly, curriculum reform does not mean that the more complicated the curriculum, the better. In fact, a brilliant education should pursue simplicity. Tao Xingzhi once put forward a famous argument that "children's society should be full of pure beauty." Simplicity refers to presenting educational content to children in a way that they can easily understand and accept according to their cognitive characteristics, rather than superficiality and simplification. The premise is that teachers accurately understand and grasp children's learning rules and psychological characteristics. The new curriculum is to embody a simple and simple educational concept. Many times, simplicity means richness, and simplicity means profundity. Teachers should learn from children. Tao Xingzhi said, "People who don't want to learn from their children don't deserve to be their teachers." He also suggested that teachers should become children. "If you become a child, there will be amazing miracles, teachers and students will become friends immediately, and the school will become a paradise immediately. You will immediately feel like a child, playing and working together. No one thinks you are a gentleman, and you will become a real gentleman. " Our new curriculum puts forward that children are the main body of learning and advocates interactive dialogue between teachers and students. In interaction and dialogue, students can become teachers, and teachers can also become students. This role exchange is the embodiment of the new teacher-student relationship in the curriculum reform. The new curriculum should not only liberate students, but also standardize them. How to grasp the "degree" in the meantime? Tao Xingzhi pointed out that "children should be liberated from the cruelty of adults". He put forward six viewpoints of children's liberation, namely, emancipating the mind, hands, eyes, mouth, space and time. Tao Xingzhi reminds us that the current curriculum reform is to liberate children first, even if it is standardized, it should be standardized under the guidance of liberation. Our liberation and standardization of young children should be combined with each other and targeted. Children's knowledge and experience must be constructed rather than instilled, and children's development must be carried out in operation. Tao Xingzhi put forward toys, school tools, utensils and tools. The new curriculum emphasizes that children should operate by themselves, actively practice, and explore, experience, feel and improve in the process of "playing" and "moving". (2) Tao Xingzhi's outlook on life education and the new curriculum structure. Society, nature and life are Tao Xingzhi's views on curriculum resources. Tao Xingzhi follows the concepts of "life is education" and "society is school", and his understanding of curriculum resources is extremely broad. He said, "Our real life is all our courses, and our courses are our real life." "All courses include all life. All courses are life, and all life is courses. " "Family, shops, teahouses and ship docks are all classes." You must regard nature as your biological garden. Tao Xingzhi's view of curriculum resources is rich and varied, which is generated in life. Tao Xingzhi has many insightful views on teaching, which are valuable resources in his curriculum view and educational thought. This new curriculum reform emphasizes children's contact with life and participation in practice to strengthen the connection between kindergarten and society and cultivate children's sense of social responsibility. At the same time, it emphasizes the comprehensiveness of the subject and pays attention to connecting the children's own experiences and real life. The new curriculum structure attaches importance to the integration of subject knowledge, social life and children's experience. The highlight of this curriculum reform is to attach importance to practical activities, closely connect with children's own life and social life, form problems from children's own experience, and obtain ways and methods to solve problems from experience, which is in the same strain as Tao Xingzhi's life education thought. Tao Xingzhi is convinced that life is the core of education and life comes first. Life and knowledge, life and education are closely combined and influence each other. "Education can only exert its strength through life and become a real education". Learning to apply what you have learned is the best learning. Tao Xingzhi's ideological connotation of education with life. First, life is a big classroom for education. The new curriculum reform is to guide students into nature and society, learn in practice and learn in life. Every September, freshmen enter the park. In the new curriculum, we put the theme of "kindergarten is really good" at the forefront. The children's song activity in the theme "Kindergarten is also my home" tells children to kiss their parents, leave home happily, play games and listen to stories. Kindergarten is also my home. In catchy nursery rhymes, children get rid of their attachment to their parents. Through the activities of "I take my baby to kindergarten" and "Gao Jiawen's little blanket", children can easily adapt to the life in kindergarten. Second, life provides rich educational resources. In the past, we used to regard courses and textbooks as the world. Now we should regard the world as courses and textbooks. From eating fruit to natural phenomena, and then to popular events in society, such as the Olympic Games and the World Expo, as long as children are interested and can develop, they can generate courses. Third, people in life should be our teachers, and we should learn from them. Education is for the needs of life, and education is for life, in order to improve the living environment and improve the quality of life. As Tao Xingzhi said, "Life education is to transform life with the power of life, and it needs to transform aimless and unplanned life with purposeful and planned life." Curriculum reform should not only enter life at the "fact" level, but also connect with life at the "meaning" level. Tao Xingzhi said: "Education in talk about life is useless." What should we do? We should discover, make and use the tools of life. . In order to transform life, there must be tools. And connecting with life is to get rid of the shackles of books. Tao Xingzhi believes that "real life provides us with endless problems that need to be solved constantly." "'Life is education' means education from books to life, from narrow sense to broad sense, from literal to hand and brain, from eyes and ears to physical and mental care." The practice of curriculum reform fully proves that as long as we enter life, education will become pale and rich, tired and vivid, weak and full of vitality. (III) The idea of "integration of teaching and learning" and the new teaching concept The teaching theory of "integration of teaching and learning" put forward by Tao Xingzhi means that teaching methods should be based on learning methods, learning methods should be based on doing methods, and teaching and learning should be centered on doing. This theory is very targeted. He emphasized that teachers should not only pay attention to the main teacher's teaching, but also pay attention to students' learning in the teaching process. The new curriculum emphasizes that teaching is the interaction between teaching and learning, and the communication, exchange, inspiration and supplement between teachers and children. The new curriculum reform emphasizes that teaching is not mechanical indoctrination, but an interactive process. Modern psychology shows that children's learning is a process of finding, analyzing and solving problems. Therefore, the new curriculum emphasizes children's experience of exploring and acquiring knowledge. Tao Xingzhi also advocates cultivating children's good living habits and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, which is consistent with the requirements of the new curriculum. The focus of this curriculum reform is to cultivate children's innovative spirit and practical ability. We should carry out creative education? Tao Xingzhi said, "We should be able to do it, and the highest realm of doing it is creation." "The success of teachers lies in creating people worthy of their worship." "The most important thing in education is to give students the ability to transform the environment." He also said, "Review the past, grasp the present and create the future. ..... everything is for creation. " This is a phone call. In the new curriculum, we clearly heard the cry of Tao Xingzhi. What is the idea of creative education? "everywhere is a place of creation, every day is a time of creation, and everyone is a creative person." This concept is based on the understanding and trust of children's creative potential, which breaks the mystery of creative education. The innovative spirit advocated by the curriculum reform is aimed at all students and all teachers. Tao Xingzhi expounded the characteristics of creation from two aspects. One is "Dare to explore new ideas that have not been invented" and "Dare to be uncivilized in the frontier". It emphasizes the spirit of "exploration" and "exploration". The second is to emphasize that creation is "the generation of new value". The new value has different meanings for different children and different subjects. Therefore, all people can create new value, which is different from new scientific and technological inventions. So the purpose of creating education is more spiritual. Where should the creation start? Tao Xingzhi believes that "action is the beginning of education in China and creation is the completion of education in China". The source of creation is action, and practice is the soil of creation. Therefore, when we look at comprehensive practical activities, it is not difficult to weigh the creative weight of "synthesis" and "practice". The curriculum reform of early childhood education in China is progressing steadily, and the enlightenment of Tao Xingzhi's curriculum thought to the curriculum reform of early childhood education is various. We are glad to see that the ideas and ideas of curriculum reform coincide with Tao Xingzhi's curriculum thought, and hope that Tao Xingzhi's curriculum thought will glow with new vitality and vitality in the new curriculum reform.
