What professional qualities should preschool teachers have today?
Basic qualities that preschool teachers should possess.

I. Professional ethics

First of all, preschool teachers should love the cause of preschool education. Only in this way can they work hard for this ordinary post in the future and silently dedicate their youth and strength. In addition, they must love and respect their children, which is also an important condition for doing a good job in preschool education. Children are in an important period of physical and mental development, which requires not only the careful care and education of teachers, but also the care of teachers. Children also have their own wishes and needs, and teachers should give them satisfaction and respect. It is not in line with teachers' morality to despise children's legitimate needs and humiliate them at will. ?

Second, professional knowledge

Kindergarten teachers aim at children, whose physical and mental development is in a naive state, which is reflected in knowledge and life experience. They are lively and active, with poor self-control and self-management ability, and their thinking mode is mainly figurative thinking. Therefore, preschool education is enlightenment education, and preschool teachers have different professional characteristics and professional service objects from teachers in other education stages.

Based on this feature, they don't need to master the profound knowledge of a certain subject and become experts in a certain subject, but should become generalists who are familiar with the knowledge of humanities, nature and other disciplines, all-round talents with certain expertise in sound, body and beauty, and children's education experts who have a deep understanding of children's psychology.

Third, vocational skills.

It is far from enough for preschool teachers to have good professional ethics and profound knowledge, but they must also have the skills to carry out education and teaching in kindergartens.

1. Observe, understand and evaluate children's abilities. Suhomlinski, a famous educator in the former Soviet Union, told people that the understanding of children began with observation. Observation is for understanding, and understanding is for development. Only by correct observation can we know people and teach them well. The object of preschool teacher education is children with complex psychological activities.

Every child's physical and mental state is different at different times, places and conditions. This requires teachers to be good at understanding the inner world of children from their subtle expressions, so as to carry out targeted education. Therefore, preschool teachers should have keen and meticulous observation, flexible thinking, improvise and guide the situation. In the process of education and teaching, they can not only pay attention to their own activities, but also pay attention to the various situations of children, observe and evaluate their development, treat them differently and deal with them flexibly.

2, organizational management ability, that is, the ability to organize children's daily activities. As a kindergarten teacher, her organization has an extremely important influence on education, the formation of class groups and the growth of children. A teacher who is good at planning work and organizing children's collective activities will be loved and admired by children.

On the other hand, preschool teachers lack organizational ability, and educational activities can't be carried out, which becomes a "chaotic" class, which makes children collectively dispersed and has a very bad influence on the formation of children's personality. This requires preschool teachers to be good at making educational work plans, have strong organizational management and control capabilities, fully estimate the time and content of various activities, consider the development level of children and various specific situations, be good at organizing and coordinating the relationship between teachers and children, and have the ability to solve various emergencies.

3. Good oral communication skills. In education, speech is an important means to transfer knowledge and influence children. Makarenko, a famous educator in the Soviet Union, once pointed out that teachers must improve their ability to talk with children. Teachers' language expression ability directly determines the effect of educational activities and affects the efficiency of children's psychological activities. Teachers' good language expression ability can arouse children's curiosity, arouse children's interest in learning, attract children's attention, mobilize children's good mood and state, cultivate children's sentiment, and directly affect children's language development. Therefore, preschool teachers should attach great importance to their own language cultivation and strive to enhance their language expression ability.

4. Ability to create a good educational environment. Mr. Chen Heqin thinks: "What kind of environment, what kind of stimulation, what kind of impression". And "the educational environment plays a certain role in the educational process." Creating a good educational environment plays an important role in promoting children's development, and children can only be well nurtured in an environment suitable for education. This requires preschool teachers to have the ability to create environment, which should reflect the needs of children of different ages and levels of development. The created environment truly serves education and children, and makes children the masters of the environment.

Fourth, psychological quality.

1. As a kindergarten teacher, you should have a broad and loving mind, stable mood, rich feelings, lively and cheerful personality, good behavior habits and so on. The emotional changes shown by preschool teachers in the process of communicating with children directly affect the emotional state of children. Children's emotions are not yet mature, and too fast emotional changes do great harm to children's minds.

The child is too young to have accurate judgment. As a kindergarten teacher, vague expressions can easily mislead children's judgment. Over time, children will have a kind of resistance and kindergarten teachers will lose their affinity. Therefore, preschool teachers must adjust their mentality and emotions in order to achieve good preschool education results.

2. Emotional intelligence. EQ is the abbreviation of emotional IQ, which mainly refers to those personal abilities related to self-awareness, emotional control, self-motivation and interpersonal relationships. Preschool teachers with high emotional intelligence can quickly understand and adapt to the expectations of groups and society for their roles. When encountering contradictions at work, they can learn to put themselves in other's shoes, adjust themselves and pay attention to communication, so as to play their role quickly and create value for employers earlier.

Measures to improve the quality of preschool teachers

Personal aspects of preschool teachers

First, establish a high sense of responsibility. Early childhood education is enlightenment education, which plays a vital role in the future of a person, a country and a nation. However, this point is often overlooked. Many teachers have such a misunderstanding in their minds: kindergartens have no pressure to enter higher schools and no clear examination system, so kindergarten teachers are easy to be. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the sense of responsibility of preschool teachers.

1. Ideologically, we should make clear the importance of their role, that is, let them know that they are grave diggers of national quality education; It is the shaper of children's personality; It is a health care provider for children's mental health; It is a researcher of early childhood education science, so that they can establish a sense of responsibility and provide guarantee for the completion of educational tasks in the future.

Impress them with some outstanding deeds of educational success and help them understand that the most important secret of success is the sense of responsibility for work. People with a sense of responsibility are not afraid to pay, they will be motivated to work, they will actively contribute to their careers, and they will succeed. In order to encourage them to study hard with a high sense of responsibility with the power of example.

Two, adhere to the moral education, combining political and ideological education with professional education. The survey shows that kindergartens generally welcome kindergarten teachers who love preschool education, are willing to bear hardships and stand hard work, and are diligent and enterprising. However, according to the investigation results of kindergartens, the present situation in this regard is not very optimistic. Therefore, preschool teachers should adhere to the learning direction of moral education and combine political and ideological education with professional education from the characteristics of preschool teachers.
