Different from the subject teaching in other schools at all levels, kindergarten education activities involve children's daily activities, including teaching activities, life activities, sports activities, games and other routine activities. Therefore, from the perspective of the scope of kindergarten education activities, kindergarten education activities have extensive characteristics.
Second, integration.
From the content of children's psychological development, it involves children's physiological, cognitive, emotional, social and other aspects of development, rather than an isolated development. Therefore, in order to adapt to the characteristics of children's psychological development, kindergarten education activities should be integrated with comprehensive and comprehensive education activities to promote children's all-round and harmonious development.
Integration, also known as synthesis, refers to combining things of different types and properties into a whole. The characteristics of the integration of kindergarten education activities are concentrated in the fact that the content of children's learning field is comprehensive, not separated from each other. The integration mode of kindergarten education activities is mostly based on a "theme" close to children's life, which organically links and permeates the educational contents in various fields such as health, language, science, society and art, and promotes the all-round and harmonious development of children.
Third, enlightenment.
Preschool education is the foundation stage of basic education, and kindergarten is the institution to enlighten children. In addition, children mainly think in concrete images, abstract logical thinking is not perfect, and their cognitive development level is low. Therefore, the present situation of preschool education and children's thinking and cognitive characteristics determine that kindergarten education activities should be enlightening. Specifically, the knowledge and experience that kindergarten education activities impart to children must be simple and not too difficult.
For example, the content and requirements of "knowing all ethnic groups in China" in the theme activity of "I'm from China" in large classes, and the enlightening characteristics of kindergarten education activities determine that teachers do not need to pursue children to recite the names of all ethnic groups completely, but only need to know several major ethnic groups and understand their interesting customs and typical characteristics.
For example, the contents and requirements of "Knowing the Map of China" and "Traveling around the Motherland" do not require children to know the exact locations of provinces and cities in China on the map, but only the names and geographical locations of major cities and places in China. For example, "understanding the concept of numbers" in primary and secondary schools should combine numbers with images (such as physical objects and digital cards). ) instead of understanding abstract numbers alone.
Fourth, fun.
The Regulations on Kindergarten Work points out that games are an important form of children's all-round development education. The Guiding Outline of Kindergarten Education (Trial) points out that kindergarten education takes games as its basic activity. Therefore, in kindergarten education activities, there are not only children's independent, spontaneous and free play activities, but also teachers' activities such as life, sports and teaching in a gamified way.
The pleasant characteristics of independent game activities and the insertion and infiltration of game elements in various educational activities make kindergarten education activities lively and interesting.
