The sixth session of the online class of Shanghai Open University's "Good Education for Young Children, We Are in Action" was broadcast last night, and Wen Yi, director of the Preschool Child Psychology and Education Committee of the Sichuan Psychological Association and professor of child psychology at Chengdu Normal University, discussed with everyone in the cloud.
Myth 1: Equate early learning with rehabilitation
Professor Wen: For children at a normal level, we should pay attention to the embodiment of children's intrinsic values (including self-affirmation, beauty, interpersonal relationships, culture, etc.), and educational practice is more inclined to the model of game activities as the carrier, open-ended, and allowing children to actively construct knowledge or ability.
For children who do not meet normal indicators, the early rehabilitation of intensive development is carried out, more emphasis is placed on stimulation and reinforcement, and his normal sensory response is aroused, but many institutions equate the early learning of a normal child with the rehabilitation training of special children.
Myth 2: Parenting and separation of families
Professor Wen: One of the manifestations is that teachers and childcare workers are strictly distinguished. Childcare institutions often also make a strict distinction between teachers and childcare workers, the main class teacher is mainly responsible for learning and educational activities, and the life teacher (nursery worker) is mainly responsible for daily life care >
0-3 years old children are in the peak of attachment, leaving the mother to come to the childcare institution needs to find an attachment object again, in order to find a sense of security, when the infant in the childcare institution play, two stool, feeding, sleep are taken care of by different people in turn, will have a very bad impact on their sense of security and attachment to the establishment. Therefore, all the care of an infant and toddler should be relatively fixed to a primary caregiver, allowing this caregiver to continue to care for the infant and toddler.
Myth three: Adults are overly dominant
Professor Wen: Infants and young children are born with the ability to learn, they can understand themselves and the world through perception and operation activities, we should give them this opportunity, present a wealth of stimuli, give children time to play independently and space to move around freely, provide children with more opportunities to explore freely, think on their own, solve problems on their own, but intervene more and give clear feedback when necessary.
Myth 4: Home separation
Professor Wen: Children come from the family and are deeply influenced by the family, the partnership between the childcare institution and the family is crucial to the physical and mental development of infants and young children, the nursery school should undertake the task of guiding parents, through parent-child activities to guide online classes, home guidance, parent salons and other ways, to guide parents and children to have high-quality interaction.
