First, the current problems in early childhood education
(A) the methods and concepts of early childhood education are relatively old.
At present, many kindergartens ignore the actual characteristics of children, ignore the age characteristics of children, and only pay attention to catering to parents' urgent desire for children's success, while ignoring the actual development level of children; Some kindergartens only emphasize the source of students and attach importance to the teaching of cultural knowledge, ignoring the development of children's intelligence. It is difficult for many kindergartens to get rid of the strange circle of mathematics and Chinese. The specific activities in daily life do not really reflect the modern teaching concept. Some game activities only emphasize knowledge and ignore emotion, so it is difficult to show children's dominant position in the process of activities. Simply paying attention to the cultivation of children's skills and skills leads to the failure to cultivate children's interests and abilities. In addition, many kindergarten leaders and education authorities only pay attention to the examination of preschool teachers' skills and knowledge when recruiting teachers, and pay attention to whether teachers can sing and dance in the evaluation and assessment of teachers. Such teaching methods and concepts are fundamentally flawed.
(B) Early childhood education management is not scientific enough.
At present, many rural areas simply do not attach importance to early childhood education, or implement primary school management for young children. In addition, some school leaders pay insufficient attention to preschool education, and due to their busy work, they pay far less attention to preschool education. At present, many preschool teachers are selected from primary school teachers. Because these teachers lack professional methods and theories of preschool education, there is a tendency of "primary education" and "nanny education". In addition, some private kindergartens lack corresponding management experience in early childhood education, do not pay attention to the quality of education and the conditions for running kindergartens, and do not implement prices according to relevant regulations. There is a phenomenon of "price war", which seriously affects the orderly development of kindergartens and is difficult to ensure the quality of early childhood education.
(3) The comprehensive quality of preschool teachers needs to be improved.
Although kindergarten teachers have enough practical experience in teaching children, due to the influence of curriculum structure, study years and other aspects, they are not trained enough in children's thinking, and they usually lack comprehensive and systematic learning and improvement, which leads to a serious shortage of theoretical knowledge of kindergarten teachers. It can be seen that the teaching level and professional skills of preschool teachers need to be strengthened, and the comprehensive quality needs to be improved.
Second, effective measures to strengthen early childhood education
(A) update the methods and concepts of early childhood education
(1) Under the current situation, early childhood education should adhere to the teaching principle of combining protection with teaching, promote the all-round development of children's morality, intelligence, physique and beauty, and make them develop in harmony with each other. In early childhood education, we should pay special attention to the cultivation of children's interest and carry out basic activities with various games as the carrier, so that children's intelligence can be stimulated and their comprehensive quality can be improved. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the "three-life education" for preschool students, that is, "life education", "life education" and "survival education", so that children can know how to respect and cherish life, master life skills, understand life common sense, form good living habits, enhance their will to survive, care about society and nature, and improve their adaptability and creativity. Preschool students should not only learn scientific and cultural knowledge, but also master some necessary study routines, life routines and polite expressions. Learn to be a man, thus creating a good teaching environment for preschool education.
(2) In view of the traditional teaching concept of "teachers teach and students learn", we should fully understand it, and we can't completely deny it or fully affirm it. Instead, we should "take its essence and discard its dross" and learn from reasonable teaching methods. Teachers should take into account children's lively, studious and curious characteristics, and carry out teaching activities in combination with these personality characteristics. Proceeding from reality, this kind of practical teaching can not only stimulate children's interest in life, cultivate a lively and cheerful good character, but also develop students' intelligence and help children adapt to the living environment. In short, the relevant departments of early childhood education should recognize the importance of early childhood education, resolutely stifle and suppress various behaviors of children's healthy development, innovate and develop on the original educational concepts and methods, and truly promote the healthy development of children's personality.
(B) to strengthen and improve the management of kindergarten education
In order to solve the problems existing in kindergarten education management, the relevant education departments and leaders should adhere to the teaching policy of "graded management, local responsibility", raise awareness, make reasonable arrangements, strengthen leadership, improve the teaching staff, and earnestly care about the education of preschool students.
In addition, according to the actual situation of kindergartens, kindergartens should set up full-time staff to carry out child care work, formulate perfect and detailed management methods, and establish a sound supervision and evaluation system. The government should attach great importance to preschool education, adhere to the purpose of running the park, implement preschool education, and put an end to the phenomenon of running the park for profit. Further reform the direction of early childhood education, take early childhood education as an important part of community and township work, and rely on communities and townships to establish an early childhood education network with township central parks and demonstration kindergartens as the backbone.
(3) Establish a stable and excellent team of teachers.
Under the new situation, we should run schools according to social forces, recruit qualified teachers according to the actual conditions and requirements of kindergarten teachers, and provide a stable teacher base for preschool education and teaching. In addition, teachers who are not qualified in service should be trained regularly to continuously improve their teaching level and obtain professional qualification certificates; Teachers who can't continue to serve as early childhood education should be replaced in time; For those qualified teachers, we should continue to cultivate and improve them, so that they can gradually become teaching models and become the backbone of early childhood education. In addition, preschool teachers should constantly update their teaching concepts, strengthen the training of new concepts and new courses, broaden their horizons and integrate new teaching concepts into the actual teaching process. At the same time, teachers should form a positive, United and cooperative teaching atmosphere in kindergartens. Teachers with rich teaching experience should often communicate with young teachers and impart their teaching experience to young teachers to form a teaching atmosphere that complements each other.
Family cooperation
Early childhood education should form a good atmosphere of co-education between home and school, which is the best way to realize quality education. The traditional "closed" teaching method should be changed to "open" teaching method to make parents realize the importance of family cooperative education. Parents should participate in class teaching activities with enthusiasm and positive actions, and make up for the narrowness and singleness of teachers' thinking through their own strengths. Parents' participation can not only enrich the teaching skills of preschool teachers, but also update the methods of preschool education.
In short, early childhood education should be highly valued by the education department, and children's physical and mental health development should be further concerned. In view of the problems existing in early childhood education, we should update the ideas and concepts of early childhood education in time, strengthen the management of early childhood education, constantly improve teaching methods and ways, improve the teaching staff, and rely on social forces to promote the healthy development of early childhood education.
