With the tendency of prohibiting "primary school" in public kindergartens, primary schools advocate "zero starting point" teaching, and many social organizations have set up "young connection" training courses to meet the needs of parents. Some insiders pointed out that at present, most primary schools and kindergartens have formed a relatively mature early childhood education convergence and coordination system. In this way, children can also adapt to primary school life smoothly, and improper "rushing to run" may even be counterproductive.
Survey: Training institutions teach primary one knowledge in advance by offering bridging classes.
At present, the young bridging courses offered by social training institutions are mainly divided into two forms: one is to charge according to subjects (such as hard pen, arithmetic and pinyin) and calculate according to specific class hours; The second is a comprehensive curriculum that imitates the primary school curriculum and timetable and is calculated according to the cycle.
Recently, the reporter called a training institution in Jinlong Road, Liwan District as a parent. According to the staff of this institution, the youth transfer class will start on August 8th, and the cost is 1 180 yuan. Each subject has 24 classes 12 days, and the number of students in each class is controlled within 6. As hard pen and mathematics are generally welcomed by parents, there are only two places left at present.
The reporter went to another X-learning educational institution in Haizhu District, which claimed to offer preschool education courses. The "youth bridging class" of this institution imitates the daily life of primary schools. Children need to report at 8: 00 every morning and attend classes according to the curriculum until 17: 00 in the afternoon. "1680 yuan Phase I, 18 * * * in class, closed on weekends, including lunch." The staff of the agency said, "We have about ten students in one class, and there are still a few places left." In the leaflet of learning X education, it is clearly mentioned that the courses of this institution are offered according to the syllabus requirements of the first grade of primary school. The reporter asked whether teaching primary school knowledge in advance would lead to a decline in children's interest in learning after school starts. The staff told the reporter, "It took several weeks to learn Pinyin in the first grade, but in the third year of high school, Pinyin will still be tested. We just teach some basic knowledge in advance, not instill all knowledge points. " Seeing that the reporter was still hesitating, the staff continued, "Many parents will hesitate, but they will regret not coming."
Expert: Inappropriate young bypass training may be counterproductive.
Wu Yuanchang of Airport West Kindergarten believes that many parents have the concept of "wishing their children success". If someone else's children are in a young transition class and their own children are not there, they will definitely not be reconciled.
"Now some training institutions teach some pinyin, mathematics and other knowledge in advance without ensuring teachers, which often makes children repeat their primary school studies; Or there is a deviation in teaching methods, which leads to children's inadaptability. " Director Wu said, "If parents aim to cultivate their children's good personality according to their own personality characteristics, I think they can choose to participate in transfer classes according to different people. Everything has two sides, and education must develop in a balanced way. Everything is based on children and based on respect. "
"Children's learning motivation is very important, not how much knowledge they have learned in advance. On the other hand, if a child has basically mastered all the knowledge points before entering school, he will find it easy to study in primary school and it is difficult to keep curiosity about knowledge. Parents need to clearly understand that the core of learning is not cognition but the spirit of exploration. " Yang Yuanchang, director of the Huangpu District Children's Welfare Association Kindergarten, said, "The third grade is an important turning point in primary school life. It would be great if children can maintain their motivation to learn when they reach the third grade. It is easy for children to maintain their advantages in the first and second grades, but after the third grade, once children find that the content is deepened, learning becomes difficult and their grades are more likely to fall behind. "
Parents: It is more important to have praise and play study habits.
Ms. Zhang's son, Jessica Hester Hsuan, attends a public kindergarten near the community. Before attending elementary school, Jessica Hester Hsuan could only write his own name and knew the number within 10. "In the first grade, both the usual exam and the final exam are excellent. So I don't think it is necessary to spend money to take classes at all. Like our children in public kindergartens, they didn't learn pinyin, write Chinese characters, learn English and do oral calculations in advance. At first, compared with some children in private kindergartens, the gap did exist. But as long as children have good study habits, they will catch up soon. " Ms. Zhang said, "On the contrary, some parents send their children to various remedial classes in advance. As a result, the teaching methods and requirements of institutional teachers are different from those of primary schools, and children are not used to going to primary schools. "
Mr. Huang, a parent who once sent his children to kindergarten, agreed with the role of the cram school: "The life in kindergarten can be described as' sloppy'. If you don't change your child's habits before going to primary school, then the first grade is basically adapting. How to learn? If you can't read Pinyin before the first grade and don't have much literacy, then parents should be prepared to accompany them all the time, and also be prepared for their children's relatively backward grades. "
Experts suggest that we should cultivate good habits and pay attention to psychological cohesion.
According to the results of the questionnaire survey on the transition period of further education issued by Guangzhou Education Bureau, 78% of the parents surveyed said that the confusion and confusion of their children during the transition period of further education focused on the stage of "young to young". Among them, parents are most worried about their children's adaptation, including the adaptation problems brought by new teachers, new environment and new rhythm.
So, what is the obvious difference between kindergarten and primary school? Wu Yuanchang said that from the perspective of educational goals and tasks, kindergartens emphasize that the development of young children should be "combined with education" and realize the purpose of "education" in "conservation". One-day life in kindergarten is a course, including four parts: life activities (entering the kindergarten, eating and washing, sleeping and leaving the kindergarten), sports activities, independent games and learning activities. Secondly, the forms of activities are games, exploration and personal experience. According to the prescribed number of students, a class is equipped with three teachers, that is, two teachers and one guarantee, to cultivate children's good habits from different aspects. When children enter primary school, they are basically separated from the care of teachers and enter the stage of focusing on education. Their main task is to let children learn and master a certain amount of learning tasks by using the existing habits and qualities of kindergartens, such as independence, good habits and concentration. The form of activity is collective teaching, focusing on memorizing and reciting knowledge.
"What young people really need to connect is psychology. Besides developing some good study habits, we also need to pay attention to the cultivation of learning qualities from the middle class, such as creativity and self-control. Parents are advised to do some parent-child games or buy picture books, so that children can transition from looking at pictures to literacy. " Director Yang suggested.
Director Lin of Chaotian Primary School in Yuexiu District pointed out that the reason why children don't adapt to primary school life often comes from family, and parents don't guide and follow up in time, and they don't develop some habits in life and social life. "In addition, some parents' wrong practices in guidance often make children feel scared prematurely, such as telling their children that they have no time to play in primary school and have to do homework." Director Lin said, "In the connection stage of children, parents should give priority to positive education and guide their children to love their teachers and classmates. "
