How to improve kindergarten teachers' application of information technology
With the development and deepening of modern information technology, it has become a common trend of educational reform and development in the world to promote educational modernization with educational informationization. All kinds of education at all levels have set off an upsurge of educational informatization, and preschool education is no exception. Based on the development background of educational informatization, the professional ability of preschool teachers has also been broken through and improved. On the one hand, the traditional ability requirements are constantly strengthened, such as expression, communication, organization, education, teaching and so on; On the other hand, preschool teachers should master a series of new ability elements such as modern educational concepts and information technology, and their information technology level has become an important embodiment of their professional quality.
First, the basic embodiment of preschool teachers' use of information technology
The application of information technology is an inevitable choice for the development of educational informatization. The ability of preschool teachers to use information technology mainly refers to the ability to use modern information technology for effective teaching, which is the key to improve all kinds of ability elements in an all-round way, and is manifested in many ways. We believe that the application of information technology is mainly reflected in three aspects: class management, education and teaching and parents' work.
(A) efficient class management
Class is a small society in kindergarten. Doing a good job in class management is the key to establish a stable relationship between teachers and children and colleagues. Therefore, the establishment of class data management system, a comprehensive grasp of various classes and the creation of personalized class culture all need the support of information technology, which is also an important help to help teachers improve their ability to use information technology.
(B) to optimize education and teaching.
Teachers' professional ability is an important guarantee to improve their ability to use information technology, and the use of information technology can also promote teachers' professional growth. The application of information technology in education and teaching generally involves three aspects: copywriting, teaching assistance and educational research. Specifically, copywriting work generally includes lesson preparation, plan summary, case record and special research plan.
Draw and summarize, etc. Teaching AIDS include the production of FIash courseware, the application of educational software, the production and demonstration of PPT, and the filing of copywriting. Educational research generally includes online teaching and research, SPSS data statistics and analysis, literature retrieval and collection, etc.
It is not difficult to find that information technology has become an important part of kindergarten teachers' educational activities. "Paperless office" has brought convenience to teachers' education and teaching work, improved work efficiency, and become an indispensable working partner for teachers.
(3) Effective parental work
Parents are important partners for teachers to carry out educational activities, and harmonious family relations, good family cooperation and effective family communication are important guarantees for teachers to carry out educational activities. Our garden attaches great importance to the use of information technology to assist teachers to carry out parent work, and has formed a traditional and modern compatible parent work method, which basically includes: each class communicates with parents through kindergarten, exchanges emails with parents, and communicates with QQ groups in each class.
Second, improve the ability of preschool teachers to use information technology strategies
Starting with the construction of hardware and software, our park creates an effective modern information technology education environment according to local conditions, so that teachers can master new technologies, update traditional educational concepts, improve their comprehensive literacy and truly enhance their ability to use information technology.
(B) pay attention to the leading role of thought
Our garden seriously organizes teachers to study educational theory, update educational concepts, and let everyone know that information technology is not only a technical means, but a fundamental change in learning methods. On the one hand, teachers are the main body of information technology education. If teachers don't understand the essence and content of educational informatization, grasp the development and utilization of modern media, and make full use of the information-based educational environment, modern technology can hardly produce good results. On the other hand, teachers are not professional information technology personnel, and mastering information technology is not the ultimate goal of teachers, but taking information technology as the carrier and fully excavating it in the process of learning and applying it.
Excavate the factors that are beneficial to education and teaching activities, broaden our horizons, activate our thinking and improve our comprehensive ability.
Through theoretical study and practical exploration, teachers have changed the traditional concept that information technology is simply regarded as a computer operation process, but have effectively extracted and applied rich information. This process is also a powerful way to improve the teaching effect of teachers, not just to reduce the workload of teachers.
Starting the application of modern information technology in an all-round way, on the one hand, improves teachers' comprehensive application ability of information technology. Teachers' ability to use information technology is mainly reflected in the collection, analysis, processing and application of information. On the other hand, it also improves the communication effect between teachers and parents. Traditional family communication is mainly face-to-face communication, which requires teachers' immediate response ability. At the same time, it also brings communication pressure to teachers, especially new teachers, who lack practical experience in how to communicate effectively with parents. The application of information technology, such as the opening of online forums, allows teachers to communicate with their parents through QQ groups, which not only helps teachers to think deeply about their parents' problems, thus reducing the tension and anxiety of immediate response, but also helps the two sides to have a deeper exchange and discussion on the issue of home-school co-education.
Third, reflection on modern information technology.
(A) Modern information technology is a "double-edged sword"
At present, information technology is a "double-edged sword" for teachers. On the one hand, the application of information technology not only provides convenience for teachers' education and teaching activities, realizes paperless office and improves teachers' work efficiency, but also enriches teaching situations, optimizes teaching process and innovates teaching forms. However, in the process of using modern information technology, kindergartens will inevitably make the educational activities in the park more open and transparent. When kindergartens open their doors to parents and invite them to share their educational achievements, they will also
Their own shortcomings are presented to parents in an unobstructed view, which puts forward higher requirements for teachers' professional level and comprehensive quality, and also brings greater pressure and challenges.
(B) the proper use of modern information technology
With the improvement of teachers' ability to use information technology and the perfection of modern information equipment in the park, more and more teaching activities are integrated with the elements of information technology. However, due to the lack of clear evaluation criteria and instructions for use, teachers have gone to the other extreme from teaching without information technology and information technology content, and information technology is everywhere. For example, many teachers use multimedia courseware when designing activities. Vivid pictures really attract children's audio-visual sense, but they often ignore children's needs for physical touch, especially young children. In the current education and teaching practice, what information technology can be used, to what extent and in what way, all deserve our further exploration.
