Proof materials are for our better work. Let's take a look at the following proof materials for teaching and scientific research. Welcome to read!
With the reform and development of preschool education, the importance of educational research has been paid more and more attention by kindergartens. It has become the strategy of many kindergartens to improve teachers' quality and form the characteristics of running a kindergarten through educational research, and "prospering the kindergarten through scientific research" has gradually become the inevitable trend of preschool education. In recent years, under the situation of the rapid development of preschool education reform, our park has felt more and more pressure to run the park, which has produced the requirements of renewing ideas, speeding up development, demanding quality from reform and benefiting from scientific research. For this reason, a series of measures have been taken, as follows:
First, down-to-earth, carefully designed
A good research topic plays an important role in promoting the deepening of kindergarten education reform, improving the quality of education and teaching, and the enthusiasm of teachers to participate in educational research. Therefore, we should grasp the most important characteristics of kindergarten education research: practicality and application to design the research objectives and contents.
First of all, we organize personnel to analyze and study the problems still existing in the practice of the park, and recognize the most urgent problems to be solved at present. In the past, our garden learned about the current teachers' confusion and problems in kindergartens by organizing teachers' discussion and designing questionnaires. After recording them one by one, we chose the focus as the research direction.
Secondly, in order to keep up with the comparison or catch up with the trend of education, some schools often set the topic very big and vague, which is very difficult to operate. Therefore, it is necessary to turn the problem into a concrete and operable topic, that is, to find the breakthrough point of research and concretize the problem. 1998, when we tried to study the topic for the first time, we chose two topics: "Guiding children to know the seeds of plants" and "How to carry out music appreciation activities in kindergartens". These two topics came from practice, and the research scope was smaller and the time was shorter, which was convenient for teachers to operate. Practice has proved that these two topics have accumulated good experience for teachers in our college to carry out research work on topics in the future. In recent years, in order to completely change teachers' concept of "attaching importance to education but neglecting games", our garden has successively carried out research on "cultivating children's innovative consciousness in ontology games" and "cultivating children's subjectivity in learning corner games", deeply studied a series of modern game concepts, and led teachers in a radiant way.
Actively collect all kinds of game materials, create a childlike game environment, adopt correct guidance and evaluation methods, let teachers seriously explore in scientific research work, and truly achieve the "game is a basic activity for children" proposed in the outline.
Second, strengthen management.
1, to ensure the standardization of teaching and scientific research organization and management.
First of all, the teaching department was established in our park, and a scientific research network of "kindergarten-teaching department-research group-class" was formed. Organize teachers to declare the project in the second half of each year, and the teaching department will carefully screen and demonstrate its feasibility before determining whether the project is approved; Then, the leaders of each research group draw up an agreement according to the content of the topic, stating the obligations that should be fulfilled in participating in the research activities of this research group, such as taking observation notes several times a month, writing several educational essays every semester, summing up experience, etc. It also States the rights that can be enjoyed, such as giving priority to obtaining corresponding learning materials and participating in the selection of "advanced individuals in teaching and scientific research". Then, announce the determined topic to the teachers in the whole park. Because letting every teacher actively participate in educational research is one of the most effective means to improve teachers' quality and develop their creative potential. Therefore, on the basis of everyone's participation, each teacher should choose to participate in the research work of a certain topic according to his own situation and sign the "agreement" of the research group.
At the same time, we have also formulated a series of rules and regulations, such as the educational and scientific research work system and the selection conditions for advanced individuals in educational and scientific research. , linking the results of inspection, assessment and evaluation with bonus treatment, combining kindergarten teaching with educational research, and infiltrating project research into daily education and teaching, which has enhanced the joint efforts of educational theory discussion, textbook and teaching method reform and education quality improvement.
In this way, a relatively smooth operation procedure of education and scientific research is formed from top to bottom, which ensures the normal, orderly and high-speed operation of scientific research and achieves the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
2. Strive to standardize the process of teaching and scientific research activities.
Project research process is a bridge to achieve research objectives, and its standardization directly affects the quality and effect of project research activities. In practice, some schools often go into a misunderstanding in order to pass the inspection and evaluation of superior leaders, or to create a "sensation effect" through education and scientific research: some have a head but no tail, and go away; Some are tight and loose, which is inconsistent. Therefore, I think it is very important to standardize the investigation process and ensure its implementation. The teaching department of our garden mainly adopts the way of "two engagements and two inspections" for management. One is to basically fix the staff and researchers to ensure the consistency of operation; Second, summarize and report regularly, that is, report orally once a week and in writing at the end of the month, so that the team leader and the teaching department can clearly understand the progress of the project; "Two inspections": first, random inspections, where the leaders of the park and the leader of the research group irregularly check the investigation and correct the problems in time to ensure the smooth progress of the investigation; The second is to watch and check each other, requiring each teacher to observe and check the research situation in the corresponding research group class every week, so as to achieve the purpose of mutual supervision and learning.
3. It is required to standardize the management of educational scientific research materials.
The research data records the whole process of the research, which is not only an achievement, but also an important reference material. In order to manage these materials and standardize them, we have designed some research forms together with research-oriented teachers, such as learning materials, observation records of children's activities, teacher evaluation forms and so on. , so that teachers can unify the format and records; Secondly, we also require the research teachers to sort out the research materials by category at the end of each month and then submit them to the teaching department, and the research team leader and the park leaders will jointly check and understand the materials; Then, at the end of the semester, all the research materials are collected and kept by the leaders of each research group, so that they can be bound into a book at the end of the semester and reported to the superior as research results, which is also convenient for other teachers to share and learn valuable experience in the future.
Third, step by step and in-depth guidance.
The improvement of preschool teachers' teaching and scientific research level is not achieved overnight. In the process of research, she must gradually update her education and teaching concepts and constantly improve her knowledge structure, so as to further improve her quality. Then, how to help and guide teachers and make their teaching and scientific research level develop rapidly? We have taken the following measures:
(1) Training requirements vary from person to person.
Every teacher's teaching and research ability is different, so our requirements are different. For new teachers, we mainly carry out repeated "key procedures" training, including learning to make stage plans; Adhere to the observation and evaluation of each research activity, and write observation and analysis records; Insist on individual positive dialogue with young children.
For skilled teachers, we require "reflective" practice and summary: learn to write design reports, implementation plans and research reports; Insist on carrying out research activities with scientific research vision and action, reflect on the research process, and make rational thinking and choices; Can lead new teachers to solve difficult problems found in research activities together.
(2) Various training methods.
1, consciously "learn"
Preschool education is the cause of the future, and preschool teachers should have a vision of the future. If we don't talk about teaching and scientific research from the perspective of changing ideas, all macro or local educational reforms can only be superficial. Without the input of brand-new educational ideas, there can be no substantive educational reform. Therefore, "learning" is an important content of kindergarten education research.
Compared with primary and secondary school teachers, preschool teachers lack theoretical knowledge and know little about teaching and scientific research. Therefore, we first start with the' basic knowledge of subject research', such as what is subject research,
What is the importance of project research? Organizing teachers to carry out preliminary study has effectively changed the wrong ideas of "uselessness" and "abstruse" in teachers' minds. Secondly, in the form of distributing materials and special lectures, guide teachers to learn to write design reports, implementation plans and research reports; At the same time, the garden magazines "Teaching the Sea" and "Scientific Research Navigation" were founded to introduce advanced theories and research methods from different aspects and pay attention to the new trends and hot spots of research in time. We also published many teachers' teaching reform and scientific research experiences, which were deeply loved by teachers.
In addition, we also organize teachers to participate in various training, lectures, observation and other activities by going out and inviting them in, so as to broaden teachers' horizons and better lead the teaching and scientific research work in depth.
The university has brought great improvement, and teachers have paid more attention to the study of educational theory and become more conscious. Some teachers have reported that learning and not learning are really different. In the past, they always stayed in empiricism, either not seeing other people's innovative practices or not paying attention. Nowadays, many teachers can consciously and actively purchase educational theory works, subscribe to educational theory publications, extract them from time to time, and carefully write down their learning experiences, which obviously improves the atmosphere of learning educational theory in the whole kindergarten.
Step 2 practice "writing"
As far as teachers are concerned, they don't really participate in research work. In the past, when conducting a research project, the project leader always had to write an implementation plan and distribute it to the research teacher for operation. This often leads to the phenomenon that teachers do not fully understand the objectives of the project and do not know how to carry out research activities. Therefore, after we establish the research topic together, the team leader writes the design report first, and then the teacher determines a sub-topic around the content of the design report according to his own interests and the actual situation of the children in this class, and writes the implementation plan. Only when the teacher writes by himself will he carefully search the relevant materials, clarify the research direction and think more deeply about the research methods and contents; Then we summarized all the implementation plans, and asked all the research teachers to look at each other and put forward suggestions for revision. Through preparation, thinking, writing, discussion and revision, teachers' enthusiasm for participating in scientific research can be effectively mobilized, which will lay a good foundation for the smooth development of scientific research in the future. In addition, we also ask teachers to write observation records regularly, not only to record the children's every move in the research process, but also to record their own comments on some links in the activities.
Practicing "writing" not only helps teachers learn to think and observe, but also exercises their writing ability. Many teachers said, "Now writing educational papers feels like something to write."
3. Dare to "ask"
"Problems" can make teachers constantly reflect on their educational practice in action research, actively explore problems in educational practice, strive to improve the rationality of educational practice, and make themselves take another big step on the road to becoming research-oriented teachers. To this end, our garden has launched a "monthly question" activity, asking teachers to ask questions about the puzzles they have encountered in their research. The garden department will organize teachers to analyze the problems in the grade group and the teaching and research group to find solutions together.
At the beginning, many teachers were used to the traditional process of finding problems and helping solve problems in inspection and supervision, but they didn't know how to ask questions. The questions written are often large and vague, with certain blindness. Later, under the guidance, teachers began to consciously examine their own research work, observe and study children's activity responses more carefully, and questioned some details in the research process and found problems. Over time, the teacher's questions became more and more detailed.
4. Learn to "speak"
"Speaking" can help teachers accumulate experience and learn from each other. First of all, we specially arranged a "weekly lecture" activity, organized teachers to talk about the research experience for a week, and talked about the specific performance of children in the research process and their own guidance methods. Secondly, we also arranged a group discussion to solve the "monthly problem". Each group leader led the teachers to analyze the problem in detail first, and then expressed their opinions and tried to solve the problem. In this discussion, teachers no longer listen passively, but take the initiative to participate, sort out their ideas and express them in an orderly way. These two activities not only improve teachers' expressive ability, but also realize the sharing of experience, helping each other with collective wisdom and improving together.
Our practice and exploration have proved that education and scientific research are the foundation, strategy and source of kindergarten development. Only based on teaching and scientific research can we grasp the pulse of preschool education situation, deepen preschool education reform and promote children's all-round development. Only in this way can kindergarten teachers become a new generation of qualified soul shapers and hold up a better sun tomorrow. In the future, we will continue to explore hard, boldly reform and innovate, and make the teaching and scientific research work in our park more perfect, scientific and effective.
