New issue recommendations
The Third Issue of Educators in February 2022 has met with you.
Entering primary school is a crucial step on a child's long academic path. Some children are difficult to adapt, do not pay attention to the class, the progress can not keep up, but some children can arrange the learning time and content independently, and live a full and orderly life. Where is their gap? What causes this gap? In this issue, we focus on the quality of children's learning and glimpse the "secrets" that affect the future development of young children.
Curiosity is the driving force to explore the mysteries of the world, when children frantically output "100,000 whys", what should teachers and parents do? In this issue of science popularization, we start from the dinosaurs that children are most interested in, and together with Wang Yuan, a researcher at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the director of the China Paleozoological Museum, we will awaken the sleeping "giant" in the hearts of children.
We hope that children can grow up healthy and happy and harvest happiness, but in life, in the name of so-called "happy education", it is common to put heavy shackles on children's childhood. How to truly understand the connotation of happiness education on the basis of understanding and respecting children? Let's look for the answer to the question from this issue of Nurturing Heart language.
In the process of creating a story, in the face of children's imagination, should the teacher encourage the children to continue to imagine and express themselves boldly, or should they guide them to create a logical story? In this issue, experts give feasible suggestions.
In this edition of the Growth Marathon, we focus on the difficulties of children and the confusion of parents, discussing "Why do children and adolescents gradually find it more difficult to seek help as they get older?" "How to solve the confusion of parents about the arrival of children's artistic sensitivity period" and other issues.
Appropriate curriculum is an important thrust for the free growth of young children, and encouraging the free construction of this curriculum is not the same as recognizing "doing my own thing". On the cover of this issue, let's follow the wisdom of the three kindergarten directors and listen to their suggestions for reshaping the understanding of the kindergarten curriculum, making the curriculum close to young children, and truly serving young children.
Because of love, so persistent; because of feelings, so perseverance. In this issue, we approached Li Xiaodan, director of Baige Kindergarten in Anshan City, Liaoning Province, and the "game feast" she created for children, and listened to how she walked through the "immersive" preschool education road of 30 years in the name of love.

More excitement, all in "The Educator"!
Table of contents for this issue
How far we are from high-quality "project-based learning"
Feature stories
In today's rapid development of artificial intelligence, the speed of knowledge change is accelerating, in order to meet the unknown challenges, children need to have the awareness and ability of lifelong learning, in order to calmly face the uncertain future, and these consciousness and ability, in fact, point to the category of "learning quality". The Guide to Learning and Development for Children Aged 3-6 emphasizes that "attention should be paid to the quality of learning in young children" and clearly states that "the practice of ignoring the cultivation of children's learning qualities and simply pursuing the learning of knowledge and skills is short-sighted and harmful".
So, how to correctly recognize and interpret the quality of learning? How is the quality of learning formed? How does the quality of learning affect children's growth and development? What is the strategy for developing good learning quality? In this issue, we focus on this and get a glimpse of the "secrets" that affect the future development of young children.
Is perverse creation worth encouraging?
Ask and explain
Should children be encouraged to continue to imagine and express themselves boldly, or should they be guided to create logical stories? Is the latter contrary to the educational philosophy that we advocate," we advocate, "to create an environment for children to imagine, dare to speak, and have the opportunity to speak, and to support children to boldly express what they think and think"?
The teacher's confusion in the case can be said to be universal, and many teachers in kindergarten education practice have doubts about how to judge and respond to the stories copied by young children. To answer the above questions, it is necessary to clarify several essential problems of story appreciation and imitation.
Don't let "happy education" become a shackle to childhood
Nurturing the Heart Language
Happiness education is not laissez-faire, but with an attitude of respect, understanding and encouragement, it helps children to acquire a positive attitude towards life, the ability to pursue advanced happiness experiences, and the courage to explore potential, so as to cultivate children to become a truly happy and happy person.
Awaken sleeping "giants" with mysterious prehistoric creatures
Popular Science Mobilization
Why are the species that most children are most familiar with and most interested in are dinosaurs? In the face of the paleontology that appears in teaching, how should you extend the explanation as a teacher? What preparations should parents make to accompany their children to museums?
Curiosity is the driving force for exploring the mysteries of the world. In the view of Wang Yuan, a researcher at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the director of the China Paleozoological Museum, paleontology has a natural advantage over other disciplines, and sometimes educators only need to grasp the simple questions raised by children such as "what dinosaurs like to eat" for scientific guidance, which can successfully stimulate their interest in nature and science, and awaken the sleeping "giants" in children's hearts.
If you miss your child's artistic sensitive period, will you miss the opportunity?
Grow a marathon
After the age of 3, with the improvement of language and walking ability, children are no longer satisfied with the basic physiological needs and begin to pursue psychological nourishment. They capture all the beautiful things in nature that make their bodies and minds happy, and music, dance, art, etc. are like a window that can open the world of children's minds. Parents should believe in the enlightenment education of kindergartens, and at the same time accompany young children in daily life, observe carefully, adjust the cultivation methods of young children in a timely manner, and create a good participation environment to promote the growth of young children in each growth period.
Where the children are, the curriculum is there
cover
In recent years, the number of kindergarten courses that dig deep into the use of natural and cultural resources is increasing, and at the same time, some influential foreign preschool education models and methods have been introduced into kindergartens and integrated into curriculum practice. A variety of complex factors have formed a situation in which the construction of the garden curriculum is very active and the practice forms of the garden course are diverse. However, the curriculum developed and decided by the principal and teachers often has some problems in the process of practice. Appropriate curriculum is an important thrust for the free growth of young children, and encouraging the free construction of this curriculum is not the same as recognizing "doing my own thing". Let us follow the wisdom of the kindergarten director to reshape the understanding of the kindergarten curriculum, so that the curriculum is constantly close to the children and truly serves the children.
Li Xiaodan: In the name of love, I have walked the road of "immersion" preschool education
Enlighteners
Creating a children's paradise full of joy and laughter and running an education that keeps pace with the times and faces the future is the pursuit of Li Xiaodan, director of Baige Kindergarten in Anshan City, Liaoning Province. The bright smiling faces of the children in the garden, the figures when they run, and the laughter in the game have been engraved in her heart for a long time. This "immersive" preschool education road that has been walked in the name of love for 30 years has stepped out of the characteristics, approached the sun, and illuminated the future of the "little white pigeon" that flew from here to the distance.
Do you really do it to develop a file bag that leaves traces
Enjoy
Archive bag evaluation is an evaluation method that emerged in the 1980s with the wave of authenticity evaluation and expressive evaluation. Compared with the traditional evaluation method of test style and scoring (level) system, the evaluation of the file bag has the advantages of flexible form, objective truth, and reflecting the process record. In response to the evaluation of the file bag, many kindergartens have carried out useful explorations, but there are still some misunderstandings and problems. For the evaluation of the file bag favored by most kindergartens, how to use it scientifically?
