Lego curriculum education adopts the original "4C" system, including four parts: connection, construction, thinking and continuation. This system is based on Piaget's construction theory, Piaget is the founder of game education theory, so the theoretical basis of 4C system is still very solid.
But the theoretical system needs to be combined with practice to produce value. How is this theory embodied in the classroom?
In each class (40'), every link in 4C will be included. Among them, contact (10') is to observe pictures and animations provided by teachers or to recall things in life and introduce them into this lesson. Structure (15') is to build an object with the provided building blocks according to the teacher's requirements; Reflection (5') is to think about the problems or hidden knowledge in the process of construction under the teacher's question; Continuation (10') is to improve and use the built objects under the guidance of teachers, thus deepening the classroom impression.
To put it simply, the four parts are: introducing the theme-building by hand-reflecting on the problem-consolidating the harvest.
Look at a three-year course "Let's Go to the Zoo". The above four links are as follows:
Contact information: Ask if you have been to the zoo and what animals you have seen in the zoo. Watch pictures of various animals and their habitats, such as polar bears in the snow, crocodiles by the river and tigers on the mountain.
Construction: Let children choose one of many animals and combine the pictures and knowledge they just saw to build an area for them to live in.
Reflection: During and after the construction, the teacher asked, prompted and helped the children, and added appropriate zoo facilities.
Continuation: Let parents enter the classroom, and the children will take turns to explain the zoo area they have built and the functions of different facilities, and visit the achievements of other students.
