Preschool education is one of the professions with the highest employment rate, which is almost in short supply. Many kindergartens need to "place orders" in advance. Because the society is not short of kindergarten teachers, but short of high-educated and high-quality kindergarten teachers.
Such a teacher should not only have certain artistic practice ability, but also have extensive cultural accomplishment and wisdom of understanding things and observing people, as well as keen scientific research consciousness and good scientific research ability. Childhood is an important period for the formation and development of personality, so preschool education plays an important role in children's growth.
Historical origin:
Preschool pedagogy has become an independent science, which was first put forward by German educator F.W.A. Froebel. Under the influence of Comenius and French Enlightenment thinker Rousseau, he also accepted the children's education thought of Swiss educator Pestalozzi.
1837 established an educational institution for children aged/0 ~ 6 in Blanckenburg, and 1840 named it kindergarten. Froebel systematically discussed the importance, contents and methods of kindergarten education. He believes that children's development is a gradual process, education should be suitable for children's development, and education should be based on children's independent activities.
He attaches great importance to the educational value of games, regards games as the main activity of kindergartens, and designs a set of games and teaching materials. His main works are: Human Education (1826), Mothers' Games and Children's Songs (1843) and Kindergarten Pedagogy (1862). Although there is an idealistic view in Froebel's educational theory, he has promoted the establishment of kindergartens and the research of preschool education in various countries in practice and theory.
