Example 1:
Two children of the same age are learning to walk. One child's parents let go and fell, and asked him to get up and walk again. The parents of another child carefully protect the child, lest he fall, or simply tie the child's waist with a belt and walk on it. Please think about it, which child will learn to walk first?
Theoretically speaking, it is obvious that the first way is more in line with the needs of children's development and can also help children learn to walk independently faster. However, excessive protection will only prolong the time for children to learn to walk, make it difficult for them to learn to balance their bodies and coordinate their movements from repeated exercises as soon as possible, and make them too afraid of falling, which is not conducive to future development. Therefore, the correct way should be to find a place where it is not easy to fall. At first, adults should help children more, but gradually let go.
Example 2:
A teacher is organizing children to understand crops. She sat the children in a small chair with their hands behind their backs, hung some wall charts of crops on the blackboard, and then told them that this was wheat and that was cotton. Another teacher also lets the children know about crops, but she regularly organizes children to visit the growth of crops in the farmland, and also opens a small garden in the kindergarten to try out several crops, such as wheat, sunflower and corn. In addition, she posted a wall chart in the activity room for children to visit freely.
Theoretically speaking, it is right to teach children intuitively, but for children and children in lower grades of primary school, it is not enough to teach them intuitively through wall charts. The best way for them to know things is through contact with objects, so the second teacher's method is correct and effective.
Example 3:
In a classroom, a teacher organized children to learn to draw, and she asked them to copy while drawing. Some children drew very well, and the teacher praised them, while a poor child was asked to draw again. Another teacher organizes children to learn painting. She lets them freely choose the objects and materials for painting, gives them advice and guidance in the process of painting, sincerely appreciates each child's works, and encourages and praises the children's efforts.
Theoretically, we think that painting is a way for children to express their thoughts and feelings, and there should be no excessive demands on skills. Children should be allowed to explore all kinds of painting materials freely and express their thoughts freely on the screen. Letting children learn to draw according to the teacher's template and the specified way may suppress the development of children's imagination and creativity. In addition, children's abilities are different, which can be said to be different. Teachers should recognize children's differences and strengths, and don't judge children by a single standard. In the process of growing up, children should be recognized and affirmed as long as they make efforts. If children are judged only by the results of learning, they will lose their self-confidence and self-esteem, their interest and courage in learning new things, which will adversely affect their future development. This is a failed education. As teachers, we should not only promote the development of children's intelligence and ability, but also carefully protect their physical and mental health and enthusiasm for learning. We shouldn't damage children's physical and mental health because of teachers' careless words and deeds.
As can be seen from the above examples, preschool education is not simply about taking care of children, but involves all aspects of children's development. Different educational methods will have different effects on children, which will lead to different development results. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the educational problems in life and study and study educational theories.
