The origin of life education
The idea of lifelong education or life education originated in the United States in the 1960s, when there were a large number of crimes in American society, and the number showed a sharp upward trend. 1968, American scholar Jie? Donna. J.Donald Walters founded Ananda School in California, and he began to advocate and practice life education. He thinks? Education is not only to train students to get a job, or simply to pursue and acquire knowledge, but to guide them to fully understand and feel the meaning and value of life. ? It can be said that this is the initial practice of life education thought. 1979, Australian pastor Rew Ted Noffs was founded in New South Wales? Life education center? (LEC Life Education Center) Which one was first officially used? Life education? The term naming agency. Since then, life education has become popular.
Chinese mainland's research on life education began in the 1990s, and has been going on for many years, but so far there is no concept universally recognized by academic circles. On the basis of predecessors' research results, this paper holds that life education is an activity that the educational subject directly or indirectly educates the educational object around life safety, physical and mental health and sublimation of life value. Its purpose is to ensure personal physical and mental health, on this basis, reflect the value of life, and achieve the purpose of making contributions to the public, the country and society.
Second, the significance of kindergarten life education
Children are the future of the motherland and the hope of society. Life education in kindergartens has at least the following significance. First, it is conducive to the healthy growth of children. Life is the premise of all activities. Without life, all activities are empty talk. Life education in kindergarten is to protect children's physical and mental health and lay the foundation for their growth. Second, it is conducive to the healthy development of early childhood education. Nowadays, many kindergartens teach primary school knowledge in advance, which increases children's physical and mental burden. The development of life education activities aims to make up for the deficiency of exam-oriented education at present, so that children can live in harmony with nature and environment in the process of learning and make preschool education develop healthily.
Third, the current problems in kindergarten life education
1. The garden's understanding of life education is not in place.
Nowadays, many kindergartens understand life education as children's safety education, which mainly means that children's bodies are not damaged. Therefore, from the director to the nurse, the child's physical health is put in the highest position, and the child's personal safety is put in the first place in the day's activities. This understanding of life education cannot be completely wrong. But this paper holds that children's physical safety is only a part of life education. Life education requires educators to pay attention not only to children's physical health, but also to children's mental health. At the same time, on the basis of physical and mental health, children also need to experience the meaning of life value.
2. Parents' cooperation needs to be improved.
Many parents know little about life education in kindergartens, and some parents have a one-sided understanding of life education. This has led parents to simply understand the education of young children as? One-sided things in the garden? . Therefore, the good habits that children develop in kindergarten are rejected at home. Forget? I dropped it. Parents' family education has produced many children? Do whatever you want. , became a home? Little emperor? . In fact, this environment is extremely unfavorable to the development of children's life education. Did the child's good habit in kindergarten fail? Curing? In thought and action, kindergarten education has achieved twice the result with half the effort.
Strategies of Effective Life Education in Kindergarten
To solve the problem, we must grasp the main contradiction. To carry out life education in kindergartens, not only kindergartens need to carry out related work, but also parents need to cooperate closely, both of which are indispensable; We should not only pay attention to children's physical health and mental health, but also let children experience life and feel life in activities.
1. Gardens should attach great importance to life education.
Kindergarten's understanding of life education should not be limited to physical safety education, but also pay attention to children's mental health and the experience of sublimation of life value. In recent years, the number of children with psychological problems has increased year by year, and children with ADHD, autism and depression have become the main components of problem children. The garden should pay attention to the observation of these children, find early intervention and don't miss the best period of psychological intervention. Should the garden abandon it? It is normal to have several special children in the class. Think hard and intervene every child with psychological problems in time. At the same time, the garden should pay attention to instilling the concept of life education in the classroom. For example, through the study of "tadpoles looking for their mothers", children can know that small animals need their mothers when they are young, which is the same as children. For another example, through the study of Ugly Duckling, children should be made to understand that everyone has to work hard to become a white swan. Children grow up slowly in the understanding of life education, learn to cherish life, love life and sublimate life.
2. Parents should be the strong backing of life education activities.
This paper discusses how to carry out life education in kindergartens. This does not mean that the development of life education can achieve practical results only by relying on kindergartens. Parents' cooperation is also very important. Parents should provide strong support for life education in kindergartens. After living in the park for a day, the children returned to their own world? The first school? At this time, parents should continue their life education in the park. We should do our homework in the following aspects: on the one hand, we should strengthen the good behavior of kindergartens, so that the good habits developed by children in kindergartens can continue in family life; On the other hand, we should spend more time with children. This is especially important for children with psychological problems. Many children with psychological problems are caused by the lack of parental companionship and the disharmony between parents. Facts have also proved that children with a sense of security will have more confidence in their future life and understand the meaning of life better.
3. Pay attention to frustration education and gratitude education.
On the one hand, we should attach importance to frustration education. At present, children's living conditions are gradually improving, but many children's ability to bear hardships has declined. Parents also take it for granted that it is not important for children to suffer. Of course, this idea is not correct, because on the long road of life, what difficulties a person will encounter is unpredictable in childhood. Xi said:? The fact that countless people succeed shows that in youth, choosing hardship is choosing harvest, and choosing dedication is choosing nobility. When you are young, you must experience more blows, setbacks and tests, which is conducive to a good life. ? This sentence is for young friends, but it is still very practical for young children. On the other hand, we should pay attention to gratitude education. At present, most children are only children. In recent years, some families have had two children. However, a problem that cannot be ignored is that many children are used to themselves? Little emperor? Life, in their simple consciousness, one more brother or sister, parents, grandparents love themselves. So they don't like it anymore? Newcomer? Appear and take it for granted that what you have now is what you should have. Gratitude and sharing are really strange words to them. In fact, this is extremely unfavorable to the growth of young children. In today's society, competition is becoming more and more fierce. If you don't know how to be grateful, you won't share it with others, and you won't get the cooperation of others, which is not good for your personal growth.
4. Pay attention to the experience of life education
Pay attention to the experience of children's life education, so that children can feel life and experience the sublimation of life in activities. In recent years, experiential life education is in full swing. Facts have also proved that experiential life education can really play a very significant role in promoting children's growth, because children can't fully understand the teacher's preaching, and letting children practice just makes up for this deficiency. The author once participated in a children's parent-child activity. What was the name of the activity? Mom is very hard? . During the activity, the children put on wide clothes with a basketball in them. It is very inconvenient for children to walk on simulated paths and stairs. This activity aims to tell young children that mothers are as hard as themselves when they are pregnant. After the activity, many children made their own speeches, and some said: Mom is really hard. I will never make her angry again. ? Some said:? I've been in my mother's belly for so long, it's too inconvenient for her to walk. I will take good care of her in the future. ? Facts have proved that more such experiential activities will play a good role in promoting the development of children's life education. Of course, the development of life education in kindergartens still needs many efforts, and there are various strategies and ways. It needs us to explore constantly in practice, which is also the profound point of life education.
