In the same age class, children's personality differences are small. One child cried, and it is likely that other children will also be affected and cry. In mixed-age classes, children's ages and personalities vary greatly. Under the reasonable guidance of teachers, older children will become role models for children, take the initiative to take care of children, and subtly influence their behavior.
In the process of contact between the older children and the younger children, not only did the younger children get help from their brothers and sisters, but the older children also improved their abilities. In mixed-age classes, children's "social circle" has expanded, and children's social skills and expression skills can also be rapidly improved.
Advantages of mixed-age classes:
Mixed age classes can effectively promote children's language development. It is very important to cultivate children's ability to understand and express language, as well as good listening and speaking habits and interest in language communication. In the warm mixed-age class, every child is a member of this big family. In a free, relaxed and casual atmosphere, these children show their desire and willingness to speak, and dare to speak more clearly in language.
And I like to feel the joy of talking together. In this period, if effective mixed-age education is carried out, if older children have strong oral expression ability and large vocabulary, which can influence younger children and promote each other, it will really play an important role in children's language development.
