How to carry out popular science education in kindergartens
Abstract: Children's popular science education is an important part of kindergarten work, and it is also an important content of cultivating children's scientific literacy and implementing quality education from an early age. In order to implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, implement the spirit of "Several Opinions on Strengthening Science and Technology Popularization in the State Council, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China" and "Decision on Deepening Education Reform and Promoting Quality Education in an All-round Way in the State Council, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China", closely focus on the goal of "focusing on the cultivation of innovative spirit and practical ability and comprehensively promoting quality education", and start with overall planning, perfecting mechanism and scientific management, it is our responsibility to carry out science and technology popularization education for young people in a solid, in-depth, effective and comprehensive way. Keywords: popular science education, scientific and technological activities, practical writing: teachers who have worked in kindergartens may have this feeling. Nowadays, children are weak in sports, but I believe the same is true of science. The laws of the universe are similar everywhere. The reason is that most kindergarten teachers are women. In particular, female teachers are not good at this project, and teachers are not interested in influencing children's hobbies. So, why is this happening? It is because when the teacher was young, our parents always taught us that girls should be gentle and beautiful, so they associated us with dolls in a biased way. Or be good at singing and dancing, and more often associate us women with art, which actually limits us. In fact, many parents treat boys like this. For example, many male children like to start work when they are young, but parents often think it is bad behavior, will stop it, will scold them and think they are naughty. I remember when I was a child, my brother liked to drive things. I used to think he liked to destroy things. As my mother said, nothing will be fine in his hands. Yes, he has a tape recorder, a walkman, a watch and so on. Nothing is good. But now it seems that if he hadn't opened something like this to discover the secret, he wouldn't be able to do everything today, such as simple repairs. Of course, we don't want to train repairmen, but I'm afraid they will relish such an experience. At least when they enter primary school or middle school, or even any subject, they will face it easily because of their experience and attempts, at least they don't resist such things. On the contrary, when I was young, I had no such experience. Not only did I not realize their kind of fun, but I was very strange to things like science. At least I feel like a toy. Even if it is broken, it is just a useless toy. I have never thought about anything else, even if I take it apart to see what is inside. Why is the difference so big? It is because we adults feel about us that what should girls do and what should boys do? Even some parents or teachers think that toys are toys and should be put away and protected. If any child breaks them, he is sure to be criticized. Then we say that the cultivation of children's scientific quality should at least be based on interest. How to be interested is to let them find problems in play. The teacher's attitude is very important because it directly affects children's interest. Carl Sagan was once known as "the most famous popular science writer and educator in the 20th century", and he was a science communicator with a bright smile and passion. The American Daily News once said of Sagan: "He has three eyes. One eye explores the starry sky, one eye explores history, and the third eye, that is, his thinking, explores the real society. " It is said that in the United States, even carl sagan's turtleneck coat and leather jacket are imitated by young people. This worship comes from the science he preached and the way he preached it. All the topics he talks about about science are very interesting. He looks full of energy. He changed people's impression of science, made it attractive, and even painted it with a fashionable color-since young people love to follow the fashion. But he changed more than just the surface of science. He told the public the connotation of science in a primitive and accurate way. As a result, he became a star sought after by young people and was rated as one of the top ten smart people by American teenagers. Why can he make science so attractive? In his view, if any society wants to survive well in the next century and its basic values will not be affected, it should care about the people's ideological level and make a good plan for the future. He said: "I insist that science is the basic means to achieve the above goals-it is not only a science discussed by professionals, but also a science understood and accepted by the whole human society. If scientists don't come to finish the popular science work, who will? " "Our real danger is to build a society that basically depends on science and technology, but almost no one understands science and technology." He believes that understanding the world is a pleasure, and people who are not encouraged to think positively are unfortunate. So he brought this happiness to the public. If we also have this attitude towards science, although we can only use scientific achievements, we don't know much about science and technology, and we can change our children's attitude towards science. When children are wandering on the edge of science, we should not close the door for them to enter science. So how can we put it into practice? In my opinion, it is the purpose of our science and technology education to face every child, run scientific spirit, scientific thought, scientific method and scientific knowledge through the whole process of science and technology education, pay attention to cultivating children's practical ability and innovative spirit, truly improve children's scientific literacy, and realize education with popular activities, diversified projects and socialized effects. Kindergarten science and technology education activities should run through a semester in the form of a theme, highlighting the theme and characteristics. Make full use of every Arbor Day, Bird-loving Week, World Environment Day, etc. Kindergarten should take the cultivation of children's scientific literacy as the ultimate goal of kindergarten science and technology education, and explore science and technology education with certain characteristics from four aspects: "starting from me, managing innovation, putting it into practice, and sorting out ideas". First, start from me and form a good atmosphere for popular science education in kindergartens. Scientific and technological activities are the carrier of scientific and technological education. Without activity, there is no vitality. According to the characteristics of children, we should actively carry out ideological, scientific, interesting, practical and creative science and technology education activities with rich content and various forms, so that children can learn scientific knowledge, master scientific methods, cultivate scientific spirit and improve scientific quality in the process of participating in activities. In a word, you can only enjoy anything if you really participate in it. Then, to carry out science and technology education in kindergartens, teachers are the key first, and only from me and teachers themselves. As I said above, only when you understand it can you be qualified to teach your children to learn. We should choose our own projects according to our own specialties, set an example, take the initiative to participate in competitions, experience the contest between wisdom and strength, experience the joy of success in practice, enhance our confidence in overcoming difficulties, find our own direction of efforts, greatly stimulate the consciousness, initiative, inquiry and creativity of learning scientific knowledge, further enhance the connotation of scientific and technological activities and improve the effect of scientific and technological education. Secondly, carry out popular science education activities for children. Teachers should carry out scientific and technological education activities according to the actual situation of kindergartens and their own specialties, assist in carrying out characteristic project activities of kindergartens, guide children to participate in scientific and technological activities, and cultivate their practical ability. At the same time, kindergartens should actively encourage and support science and technology tutors to go out and participate in various training, observation and other activities to improve teachers' own scientific and technological literacy and their ability to tutor children. Secondly, it creates the enthusiasm of management innovation teachers and creates the atmosphere of kindergartens. However, how to operate all the work of kindergarten science and technology activities efficiently is another problem that we need to think about. Kindergarten science and technology education is an important part of kindergarten education and teaching, which has aroused great concern of kindergartens. If kindergarten leaders are required to consult and supervise every science and technology education activity, it is definitely quite passive for kindergarten science and technology education. If science and technology teachers fight alone, they can't integrate kindergarten resources well. Therefore, teachers can be allowed to carry out popular science education activities in the form of topics. First of all, teachers can carry out thematic activities with the theme of science and technology in class, summarize the reflection of thematic activities, dig deeper into the theme again and extend the theme. And when the activities of this class are well carried out, they can be promoted in parallel classes. Even the whole park can participate. In this way, teachers themselves are involved, which not only has a profound understanding, but also allows them to do it selectively, rather than blindly limiting it, which not only promotes teachers' interest, satisfies their sense of accomplishment, but also achieves their original purpose. In the whole process, all aspects of kindergarten resources have been effectively integrated and the operation has been effectively guaranteed. Third, put it into practice, so that science education is no longer an armchair strategist. If kindergartens carry out scientific and technological education activities only for the sake of activities, and compete for the sake of competition, separating scientific and technological activities from other educational and teaching activities in kindergartens will inevitably increase the burden on teachers and children, and the effect will be weakened. It is also empty talk to form a long-term management operation mechanism. Cultivating children's scientific literacy is even more nonsense. Therefore, combining science and technology education in kindergartens with other activities has achieved a win-win situation in science and technology education. 1, combining scientific and technological education activities with artistic activities. A scientific and technological painting environmental protection competition was held in the park, allowing children to record the surrounding environment of kindergartens and families in the form of paintings, and imagine their beautiful homes with brushes in combination with their own inspiration and hopes. Open the door of fantasy. 2. Science and technology education activities are combined with kindergarten moral education. In kindergarten moral education, "responsibility" is regarded as the core value of kindergarten moral education, and is included in the focus of kindergarten moral education, and a series of activities have been carried out. Paying attention to society is an important element to enhance children's sense of responsibility. In combination with the development of scientific and technological activities, children are organized to carry out social surveys and design their environmental construction plans, so that moral education activities are more life-oriented and experiential, and the purpose of multiple functions is achieved. 3. Combination of science and technology education and science and technology competition. According to the semester teaching and research plan, kindergartens should participate in scientific and technological painting competitions, jigsaw puzzles and production competitions every year. We can let science and technology serve the competition, on the contrary, let the competition promote the popularization of science and technology education. No matter children, teachers or parents, they have gained knowledge, satisfaction and happiness in the science and technology competition. Fourth, clear up ideas and constantly innovate the work of popular science education in kindergartens. The key points of kindergarten science and technology education are: increasing popularization, improving the quality of activities, carrying out large-scale popular science activities in the whole park during specific activities such as land day and science and technology festival, opening a popular science lecture menu, inviting kindergarten teachers or experts to give special lectures for children, leading children to visit science and technology exhibitions and popularizing scientific knowledge. In the activity, let the children find their own problems, ask their own problems and solve their own problems. We should be brave in practice and thinking, and give full play to our imagination and creativity on the broad stage of activities. Multi-channel popular science publicity and education: in the construction of kindergarten culture, garden radio stations, publicity windows, garden magazines, etc. Provide children with a stage for popular science education, and constantly carry out activities such as cherishing life, loving life and advocating science in combination with current events. To carry out popular science education in kindergartens, we should further correct the idea of running schools, take kindergarten science and technology education as an important way to implement quality education, comprehensively plan the development direction of kindergarten science and technology education from a long-term perspective, carry out distinctive kindergarten science and technology education activities, and form a kindergarten science and technology education brand.
