Most parents think that infants aged 0-3 don't understand the "world". As long as they are given enough nutrition and taught some basic common sense, their children's physical and mental development can be normal. In their view, what emotions children can have is nothing more than crying when their physical requirements are not met. As everyone knows, this completely ignores the existence of children's self-awareness, which will have a subtle influence on their physical and mental development and hinder the normal development of infants' emotional intelligence. Therefore, it is very necessary and urgent to popularize the parenting knowledge of prospective parents before their children are born. The prenatal education of children, the health of pregnant women during pregnancy and the upbringing of babies after birth are all inseparable from scientific and systematic knowledge. In cities, some young parents leave their children with grandparents because of their busy work. Although they have rich parenting experience, they don't understand scientific parenting knowledge, which often delays the development of children's ability in the "critical period". China is a big agricultural country, most of which are composed of farmers. Compared with cities, education in rural areas is relatively backward, mainly in parents' ideas and teachers. Parents in rural areas generally believe that children don't need to be literate, as long as they know a few words and can simply add and subtract. In the long run, coupled with the poor quality of teaching in rural areas and the high mobility of teachers, the education of rural children is a very headache. ?
Second, excessive early education, quick success, divorced from nature, contrary to the law of children's growth?
On the contrary, some parents begin to attach importance to early education, but it will inevitably bring some misunderstandings. Early education must conform to the age characteristics of children, and it is "teaching" rather than "cramming" and "irrigation". Many parents are eager to "make their children succeed" and often put too much pressure on their children too early, which not only fails to achieve the expected goals, but also makes them full of fear of learning. Forcing children to be "prodigies" is unscientific and is a narrow intellectual development of parents.
Third, the cost of early education institutions is high, the supervision is blind, and the curriculum model is unreasonable.
In 2003, I entered the Gymboree Early Childhood Education Center in China from the United States. The charge for a 45-minute class is between 150 ~ 250, and there are 1 ~ 2 classes a week. According to 24 classes a week, I need to pay 5000 ~ 6000 yuan in advance, which has caught up with the college tuition. At the same time, early education institutions are not regulated by the price bureau, but set their own prices according to industry standards. At present, early education institutions only need to register in the industrial and commercial departments, and do not need to file with the Ministry of Education, resulting in their unsupervised. At present, most of the theories used by domestic early education institutions are not specially constructed according to the social situation and cultural background of China, but simply imported from Europe and America. Such as the common Montessori model. Height/Range Based on Piaget Theory? Mode and Camii-Devries mode. Although these educational models have a reasonable theoretical basis and achieved good results in a certain range, direct quotation and complete copying can not achieve their effects. On the contrary, they may have a bad influence because of different cultural backgrounds. "Oranges born in Huainan are oranges, and oranges born in Huaibei are oranges", so the curriculum model must be carefully quoted after concrete analysis.
Fourth, the construction of teaching staff is lagging behind?
Due to the late development of preschool education in China, the curriculum of preschool education specialty is not sufficient, which leads to the low quality of teachers engaged in this industry, thus affecting the improvement of education quality. Therefore, teachers in early education centers should strictly screen enrollment, have good teacher conditions, provide in-service teachers with opportunities for further study, and improve teachers' salaries and necessary insurance benefits.
Fifth, the educational concept does not adapt?
The goal of early childhood education is not only to improve children's intelligence, but also to enhance children's physical quality and health care. No one can be ignored, and children should be fully developed and educated. The "child-centered" curriculum concept is one-sided in semantic expression. Therefore, many teachers often mistakenly believe that courses do not need to be planned in advance, and curriculum development only needs to be based on "children". There is no harm in not having a goal. This idea is easy to make one-sided mistakes in early childhood education, but simply teaching or paying attention to life can't meet the needs of children's development. If we don't pay attention to these problems all the time, children's education will be out of order and even lead to education failure.
In short, the importance of early education for children aged 0-3 is self-evident and should be fully supported by the government, society and parents. In addition, the early education of single-parent families, disabled children and children of migrant workers also needs people's attention. At present, there is a shortage of special education institutions for disabled children in China, and there is not enough capacity to accept these children. Normal preschool institutions can only accept normal children to enter school; Therefore, for the children of migrant workers, the government should establish some early education centers suitable for them, and the early education of these children needs the support of the whole society.
