Contents and methods of early childhood education

Introduction: Early childhood education refers to non-compulsory education before students enter primary school. Early childhood education is the foundation of all education. It is related to children’s lifelong career and happiness, and by extension, to the country and society. In recent years, my country's early childhood education has achieved rapid development and good results, but there are also many misunderstandings that need to be further improved and resolved.

How to educate young children well

1. Children’s unique personality characteristics

Children are often compared to angels, because children have the purest psychology and personality during this period. The most innocent, all behaviors are based on nature and are not bound by anyone. The specific manifestations are:

First of all, children have a strong imitation ability during their growth period. Children's growth and learning in early childhood mainly rely on imitation learning. Likes to imitate and imitate the behaviors and actions of others, which is the most prominent personality characteristic of children in early childhood.

Secondly, children have a strong curiosity. Children are born with a strong curiosity. When they are babies, they show a strong curiosity about the things and sounds around them. When children are four or five years old, their curiosity becomes even stronger. When they see new things around them and hear different sounds, they will ask questions. I like to ask questions, come into contact with new things, and satisfy my curiosity.

Finally, I like to hear words of praise and affirmation. In order to strengthen the education of young children, teachers and parents often give their children some homework. Children want to be praised by parents and teachers after completing tasks. Children like to succeed in doing things, which is another important psychological characteristic in early childhood.

2. Measures to innovate the kindergarten early childhood education model

(1) Introduce game teaching into early childhood education to help children learn knowledge in games

Satisfy children's love In order to meet the psychological needs of play, kindergartens introduce the game teaching model in the teaching process of children. During the game process, they add the knowledge they have learned to educate children to establish correct thoughts and behaviors and achieve healthy physical and mental growth. According to my country's new curriculum regulations, the teaching of children in kindergartens should use "games" as the basic activity, and knowledge learning should occur naturally in the process of games. Adopt flexible and diverse organizational forms and set up various game types to provide each child with a place and opportunity to play games, stimulate children's instinct to play games, and ensure that children develop at the same level.

For example, if a kindergarten teaches children to write the Chinese characters of the twelve zodiac signs, they can provide the children with animal-shaped hats, write the corresponding Chinese characters, and put them on the heads of the twelve children. Then let the children identify the animals and read the Chinese characters on the hat. Finally, the teacher gives the children word cards and asks them to learn Chinese characters stroke by stroke. This way of playing games in advance can not only attract children's attention, but also deepen their impression of the Chinese characters they have learned, achieving the purpose of teaching children to read.

Children go deep into their hearts and feel that everything is beautiful, arousing their love.

Do things according to the child’s personality, like to listen to praise and like to succeed. In the process of early childhood education, In education, appreciation and encouraging teaching should be used. Praising and appreciating children with sincere words will add infinite strength to them. For example, kindergarten teachers should encourage children to speak and express their inner thoughts during formal classroom teaching. And regardless of whether the child's answer is good or not, certain words of praise and small material rewards must be given.

For example: When checking a child's recitation of ancient poems, encourage the child to stand on the podium and recite in front of everyone. Regardless of whether the recitation is good or bad, give the child a small reward. The teacher's appreciation and affirmation will greatly stimulate the children's enthusiasm to speak, and lay a good foundation for their psychological quality for the future children to be good at communicating with others, not timid when speaking. Teachers can also learn about children’s innocent and interesting thoughts. Find a suitable way for you to integrate into your child's life and become your child's friend.

In today's kindergartens, during the course configuration of early childhood education, Many children are unaware of the importance of parent participation and neglect contact with parents, thus lacking a comprehensive understanding of children. Parents are the first teachers in the growth process of their children, and the role of family education in early childhood education cannot be ignored. First of all, when sending children to kindergarten, they must fully communicate with their parents to fully understand their children's life preferences.

(5) Establish a high-quality preschool teacher team to ensure the quality of preschool teaching

Modern preschool teachers must not only have good cultural foundation, but also have various literary and artistic talents. When kindergartens recruit preschool teachers, they must comprehensively examine the teacher's quality. Singing, dancing, playing the piano, and painting must be comprehensively inspected to ensure that children can learn a variety of knowledge and skills in kindergarten teaching, and to extensively cultivate children's interests and hobbies. Secondly, modern preschool teachers should also pay attention to learning and research while teaching. Gain an in-depth understanding of child psychology and pedagogy, and correctly decode children's various behavioral manifestations. Only when you have extremely broad knowledge and skills as a teacher can you become an expert and artist in early childhood education. Only in this way can my country's early childhood education be at the forefront of career early childhood education and contribute to the cultivation of talents in our country.
