Education suggestion: Teachers should be good at discovering and protecting children's curiosity and thirst for knowledge, pay attention to the inquiry process, and guide children to learn to discover, analyze and solve problems through observation, comparison, operation and experiment. We are opposed to learning the content of primary education in advance and strengthening the training of certain knowledge and skills.
(1) background
1. Modern psychological research shows that hand movements are related to brain development, and the training of finger movements can stimulate brain cells well. Hand movement is directly related to thinking activities, and information is transmitted from hand to brain and from brain to hand. The more manual movements, the more complicated the movements, the more it can stimulate the physiological activities of the corresponding motor areas on the cerebral cortex, and make the level of thinking activities higher and higher. At the same time, zankov, an educator in the former Soviet Union, believes that modern society needs people who can use their hands and brains. Students trained in kindergartens should be good at thinking and hands-on, and practical operation ability is an important factor for children's all-round development. For today's children, of course, it is no exception, so children's art production activities are a good way to develop themselves in an all-round way.
2. The Guiding Outline of Kindergarten Education points out: "Children should be guided to choose their own things or waste materials to make toys and handicrafts to beautify their lives or carry out other activities." Art production activities can enrich children's knowledge, develop children's experience, develop children's practical ability, and make children develop in an all-round and harmonious way.
3. Our garden is influenced by society, environment, culture, teachers and parents, and children are highly dependent and weak in practical ability. In recent two years, with the continuous improvement of teachers' level and the increase of teaching funds, in order to change this situation, our garden has determined the case study of handicraft activities in art teaching from the perspective of children art's production, and carried out corresponding practical research in this respect to improve children's practical ability.
(2) Definition
Kindergarten art teaching activities refer to activities that aim at cultivating children's aesthetic feeling and focus on children's painting, handcraft and appreciation. Beautiful colors, beautiful language and beautiful movements always affect children. Artistic activities have created a kingdom of free expression for them. In the world of artistic activities, they really become the small masters of activities.
The manual activity in kindergarten art teaching is an educational activity process in which kindergarten teachers guide children to exert their imagination and creativity, manipulate materials with their hands, and produce works with aesthetic feeling and craftsmanship according to the goal of kindergarten manual education.
Second, the theoretical basis and significance of the study.
(A) theoretical basis
1. Tao Xingzhi's creative education thought
Creative education is a distinctive and basic feature of Tao Xingzhi's educational thought and practice. In view of the bondage of feudal education to students, he called for "breaking children's hell and creating children's paradise". In many articles, Mr. Tao Xingzhi repeatedly put forward the "six liberations" of "liberating children's creativity", namely, liberating children's eyes, hands, mind, mouth and time.
2. Bruner's Discovery Teaching
Bruner believes: "The discovery in learning really affects students and makes them become a structuralist." In the article The Behavior of Discovery, Bruner described this new method in detail. He pointed out: discovery is not limited to seeking things that humans don't know yet. To be exact, it includes all methods of acquiring knowledge by oneself. In other words, under the guidance of teachers and relying on the materials provided by teachers and textbooks, learners can find, answer and solve problems by themselves, thus becoming discoverers of knowledge, rather than passive recipients.
3. Tao Xingzhi's life education theory points out that life is education and society is school. This can greatly increase the educational materials, methods, tools and environment.
4. Modern early childhood education theory
The outline points out that it is necessary to make full use of social resources, guide children to truly feel the richness and Excellence of the motherland's culture, and stimulate children's feelings of loving their hometown and motherland; Art is the main way to practice aesthetic education, giving full play to the emotional education function of art and promoting the formation of children's sound personality.
5. Reggio theory
In Reggio's preschool education institutions, works of art and clay sculptures can show children's understanding of the world around them, clarify their understanding and construction process of things around them, and thus trigger the natural expression of children's emotions.
6. Psychological basis
Children are in the stage where unconscious attention is dominant and concrete image memory and thinking are dominant. In art activities, children are very emotional and easily moved by emotions and emotions. Therefore, teachers should provide some interesting and novel stimuli to arouse children's interest. If they want to keep a steady interest in artistic activities, they must have enough content and activities to attract them to participate in the activities. Art production activities can not only meet the needs of children, but also attract children.
7. Physiological basis
Children are naturally in need of artistic activities.
