Affinity is particularly important in modern social activities or communication with the public (such as educational activities), especially for kindergarten teachers. As we all know, kindergarten teachers are facing the youngest educated group. Most of them are inexperienced, but they are very curious. However, based on children's physiological and psychological characteristics, their psychological acceptance of teachers is often directly related to their acceptance of knowledge. Therefore, the affinity of kindergarten teachers in education, in a sense, is the guiding force and driving force of the first stage of children's life growth, and affinity is also the embodiment of their own quality. If a kindergarten teacher has a strong affinity, then she can quickly close the psychological distance with children and their parents in her work, and it is easy to win the love of children and their parents, and her educational intention and driving ability can also be easily displayed. Because children will "love teachers and believe in religion" and "love my house and my dog", they will like educational activities organized by a teacher because they like her. Especially in today's vigorously promoting quality education, improving the quality of kindergarten education, improving the quality of kindergarten teachers' education and improving the affinity of kindergarten teachers in educational activities plays an important role in promoting quality education and children's growth.
First of all, affinity is the embodiment of teachers' quality.
"A teacher is a teacher, so teaching helps to solve doubts", which is the orientation of the traditional educational concept for teachers' responsibilities. This famous saying 1000 years, which highly summarizes China's education and has ruled China's "teaching circle", has become too old, too serious and too "straight-faced" in today's highly and all-round development of education, completely separating educators from educatees.
Giving teachers sacred "teaching dignity" once existed in many people, especially in kindergarten teachers. However, in the teaching process and daily life, when we are stunned by the strange but interesting questions raised by children, do we choose to avoid answering or prevaricate with a few words? Or come up with "teacher's dignity" to "make peace"? Or with a smile, patience and innocence, swim in the ocean of knowledge with children and share the fun of learning together? I think the answer is self-evident!
However, in real life, when faced with this situation, some of our teachers are afraid that not answering children's "strange questions" will damage their glorious image, so they often take evasive and evasive methods. In fact, this is a very bad practice, which not only dampens children's self-esteem and curiosity, but also damages the image of teachers in children's minds. Therefore, when we are faced with this situation, we might as well think about it in reverse-our kindergarten teachers are only one of the 36 lines in society and only play their own specific roles in their own careers. Who can be perfect, who can be without such and such defects? As long as we realize this, we can put down the so-called "dignity of teaching" and "shelf" and make friends with our children with smiles, sincerity and love all the time in our teaching and life, even without shame; After class, I will constantly enrich my knowledge structure and broaden my knowledge, and then make myself a "tumbler" who can't stand asking questions in front of children. The "dignity of teaching" established here can "learn a little longer".
Secondly, affinity is the requirement of teacher-student relationship.
The relationship between teachers and students under the traditional educational concept is a kind of respect for teachers and obedience to students; As a direct result of the traditional education model, cramming education has been in an undisputed "dominant position" for a long time. Today, this educational method has been proved to be backward, unscientific and unreasonable. A new teacher-student relationship with equal status, two-way communication, mutual support and cooperation should be formed between teachers and students.
The formation of a new cooperative relationship between teachers and students is very important for our kindergartens and preschool teachers. As we all know, kindergarten children are in a special growth period, innocent, tender and lovely, full of imagination, and need the encouragement and affirmation of teachers very much. In this particular period, preschool teachers are required to have extensive knowledge to satisfy children's thirst for knowledge, and at the same time, teachers are required to have extraordinary affinity, because affinity is one of the most basic qualities of teachers in the new period, and affinity is a necessary condition for children to "learn from their teachers and believe in their ways." As far as teachers are concerned, the core of affinity is the concept of democracy and equality. Only by treating children as their close collaborators can we truly respect children, convince people by reasoning, and empathize with people, and truly establish the concept that "every child is smart, is a material that can be made, and is worth cultivating by himself". Only in this way can we smile at every child and pay attention to their growth with our insight and intelligence.
Thirdly, affinity is the requirement of "family education"
Another important function of affinity is to serve as a bridge between "family education" and "family communication". To put it simply, it is necessary for preschool teachers to make friends with social education resources such as parents of preschool children and mobilize all sectors of society to join the preschool education circle to the maximum extent. As we all know, the curriculum resources of early childhood education are everywhere. Space can be divided into kindergarten resources, family resources and social resources. In nature, it includes three kinds of resources: people, things and environment. This requires our preschool teachers to fully mobilize the strength of teachers themselves, parents, community members and other aspects to enrich preschool education, and develop and utilize rich curriculum resources through various ways, channels and channels according to the specific natural environment and humanistic environment to promote the all-round development of children.
How do preschool teachers improve their affinity?
(1) Keep a childlike innocence and use positive emotional contagion children.
Children are still young, and their emotions are easily influenced by others' emotions, especially teachers' emotions. Therefore, in order to create a happy atmosphere in the interaction between teachers and children, teachers should first adjust their emotions before organizing children's activities, and strive to drive children with positive and happy emotions when organizing children's activities.
In order to create a pleasant interactive atmosphere between teachers and children, teachers should also maintain a happy childlike innocence, devote themselves wholeheartedly to all activities of children, and naturally blend in with children, so that we will naturally become a kindergarten educator who is welcomed by children and can create happiness. For example, I will often be "crazy" with my children. Once we watched ants on the grass, I wrote the children's names on ants of all sizes. They also called an ant with bread crumbs in its mouth Miss Zhou because it has tambourines. So we crawled around on the grass, shouting our own ants. "What fun!" When the children followed me back, they were still nostalgic for the madness when the teacher played with them just now, which made them completely relaxed and their thinking was extremely active. In kindergarten, children need a teacher who knows how to love and guide, and also needs a teacher who knows how to be childlike and keep childlike.
(2) Teachers should be approachable, gentle and tolerant to children.
Due to the influence of traditional educational concepts such as "the dignity of being a teacher by example", many teachers are always serious in front of their children, always like to speak or lecture with a straight face, and sometimes they are very strict, always directing their children to do this and that. In this way, children only have awe of our teachers and can't feel the intimacy of teachers: children are just afraid of teachers, but they can't like such teachers, let alone get close to them.
The child's heart is fragile and needs our careful care. Their ability and experience are limited, and they often make some "low-level mistakes". You know, making mistakes is also necessary for their growth, and their growth needs a relatively relaxed and tolerant psychological environment. We should always smile at our children. "Mom, the teacher smiled at me today." Many years ago, when I was a teacher, I still remember the feedback my parents gave me. Whenever a child's eyes look at me, my eyes will be full of smiles. For a child, a smile from a teacher can make him happy for a day. Touching the child's head and holding the child's hand often, from the psychological point of view, there is a need for physical contact in early childhood, and the caress and touch from adults implies a kind of family care, so it is easy for children to eliminate the gap with you at once and increase their trust in you. Squat down and talk to the child. "It's really touching to see you squatting there holding her and listening to her with your head sideways." The child's grandmother described her feelings like this. I didn't do it to impress anyone. Talking to children is the best posture. Without distance and condescension, children will say a lot of things you can't think of because they want to say it.
(3) Pay attention to your beauty in language, behavior, mind, talent and appearance.
The beauty of a teacher's appearance is the first step to win the trust and respect of children. In order to gain the trust and respect of children, teachers should have a beautiful "external" besides a beautiful mind. As a kindergarten teacher, we should pay attention to making ourselves have beautiful qualities, including external beauty and internal beauty; Including behavioral beauty, but also language beauty. Pay attention to the beautification of your words and deeds, pay attention to the beautification of your self-image, and let your beauty bring a happy mood to your children every day.
(4) Always show our care and love for children.
Children like our teachers because they clearly express their love and concern, which not only makes us children's favorite teachers, but also makes kindergarten a place for children to yearn for. If children can spend every day in an intimate and friendly atmosphere between teachers and children, they will feel safe and satisfied with themselves, their teachers and even the whole world.
Therefore, we should try our best to clearly express our love and care for our children through various forms, and try our best to show it every day, even if we just look at him with a smile or say a word with concern, or gently touch his little face, or hug the child who just entered the park every day, or hold his little hand to talk. These expressions of love and care can make children happy for a day, even days or years.
Teacher's affinity is a true love emotion, and teachers can only get close to children if they love them from the heart. Caring for children can stimulate their pursuit of a better life. The core of teachers' affinity is the concept of democracy and equality. Only when teachers treat children as adults and close friends can they tolerate children's shortcomings, respect children's right to speak and control their emotions, and convince people with reason and move people with emotion. Teachers can always smile at every child and pay attention to their growth only if they believe that every child has a spark of intelligence, is a material that can be made and is worth cultivating by themselves. Teachers with high affinity can have a broad mind, understand and respect children's hobbies, and help children progress and develop with a sincere attitude.
