According to children's age characteristics, their way of thinking is still concrete and has a certain level of cognition. They will ask and explore what they need and what they are interested in. Children in early childhood mainly learn by imitation, and only intuitive education can leave a deep impression on children. In view of this feature, I adopted the following methods in my educational activities.
1, through field visits, deepen children's understanding of the harm of environmental pollution.
To educate children about environmental protection, we must strengthen their perceptual knowledge. Take the children to the nearby factories, construction sites and roads for a walk, listen to the loud car horns and the rumble of machines, and feel the unbearable noise; Look at the billowing smoke from the factory chimney, how to turn the blue sky into a gray one, and understand the seriousness of air pollution; Look at how the discharge of industrial sewage pollutes urban and rural water sources, how the soil erosion caused by massive deforestation leads to increasingly serious river pollution, and how the "white garbage" all over the mountains deprives us of our few green mountains and green waters ... All these will make young children strongly feel the seriousness and harmfulness of environmental pollution and gradually establish environmental awareness.
2. Organize children to watch TV programs and read pictorial and pictures.
We can educate children on environmental protection with the help of their favorite TV programs and children's literature works. For example, the cartoon "Captain Planet and Planet Man" and the fairy tale "DuDu Duck Planet" are good teaching materials for children's environmental education. In addition, you can often explain pictorials and pictures that promote environmental protection to children, so that children can understand some basic knowledge of environmental protection. In this way, children can easily accept the content of environmental protection and establish environmental awareness.
3. Play games in teaching.
Being active is a child's nature, and children are most likely to receive knowledge and education in activities, so colorful game activities can also help children establish awareness of protecting the environment. Play games in teaching activities such as art, music, building blocks, running a family, etc., such as using old newspapers, cans and other waste products and chopsticks, cups, plastic bags, plates and so on to make models and small handicrafts; Put mother's used powder boxes, cream bottles, headscarves, bags and so on. In running family games, let children play games happily, let them know that waste products can be reused, and urge them to develop good environmental habits and enhance their awareness of environmental protection.
Second, children's environmental education should pay attention to methods and develop flexibly.
The object of our education is naive children, who have the characteristics of being competitive, boasting and praising. Therefore, teachers should pay attention to methods, be flexible and diverse, and let children accept praise education willingly. For example, once I took my children to a water conservancy project to divert water from the Yangtze River, everyone was in high spirits and brought a lot of food to add to the fun. When I came to the small garden leading to the river, I let them enjoy the beautiful scenery first, and then everyone sat around the lawn to play games and eat the food they brought. When we were ready to return to the garden, I found colorful "flowers" on the original green lawn-children threw all kinds of wrapping paper all over the floor. At that time, I really wanted to reprimand them loudly and then order them to pick up the wrapping paper, but on second thought, this may not make them really realize themselves. In that case, why don't I seize the opportunity to give them an environmental education? So I motioned them to sit down and told them a story about "monkey's home" and how the little monkey cared for his home. Then, I told them something about environmental protection. Sure enough, after listening to the story, the children scrambled to pick up the garbage. Soon, the wrapping paper on the lawn was clean and the children were very happy. It can be seen that environmental education for young children must focus on methods and be carried out flexibly.
Three, teachers should pay attention to demonstration, set an example and participate in environmental education.
In the eyes of children, the image of teachers is beautiful and great, and teachers have high prestige in the eyes of children. Therefore, teachers should make full use of this advantage in the process of environmental education. teacher
& gt First of all, you should have a strong sense of crisis, responsibility and clear awareness of environmental protection, and never do anything harmful to the environment (such as climbing flowers and trees, littering, etc.). ), and set a good example for children from small things. At the same time, we should set an example and play a leading role, such as picking up waste paper when we see it, scrubbing the flower beds ourselves, cleaning and so on. Teachers should also do things within their power with their children, such as taking them to the flower beds to weed, setting up a small green guard, and Qi Xin will work together to care for every grass and tree. Through this way of education, children can form the advantages of environmental protection, strengthen the sense of responsibility for environmental protection, and play a good educational effect.
Fourth, improve the quality of preschool teachers and carry out environmental education research.
The environmental awareness and skill level of preschool teachers directly affect the effect of environmental education. To do a good job in children's environmental protection education, it is necessary to further improve the quality of kindergarten teachers. From leaders to teaching staff, we should establish environmental awareness, learn relevant documents and materials, do a good job in publicity, and be "knowledgeable as a teacher and a model for others". At present, most preschool education courses in China have not been specifically included in environmental education. Teachers' reference books and textbooks are also in short supply, which makes it difficult for teachers to teach in this field. In this situation, we should vigorously carry out teaching and research activities with the theme of "kindergarten environmental education" and put environmental education on the important agenda. Only through joint efforts, mutual communication and seeking truth from facts can we work out scientific education methods, continuously improve the quality of teachers in future work, incorporate environmental education and cultivate children's awareness of environmental protection into children's development goals, actively explore, accumulate experience and sum up and improve. Qixin will work together to do a good job in children's environmental education.
