1, sequential relationship: refers to the fact that children can arrange or describe things in an orderly manner according to the order in which they appear, and understand the development process of events. For example, describe the time and order of social activities.
2. Spatial relationship: refers to children's understanding of the position of things in space, including the relationship between position, height, front and back, distance and left and right. For example, find the position of the object around the central object and describe the position of the invisible object in the space.
3. Orientation: refers to children's ability to describe orientation. For example, put things on the left side of the mountain, in front of the car, etc.
4. Direction relationship: refers to the direction that children can understand, including the moving direction of objects and the change of people's position. For example, describe someone's walking route and direction.
Generally speaking, in early childhood, the relationship between order and space developed earlier, while the relationship between orientation and direction developed later. Children need to observe and feel constantly through daily life and games, and gradually understand and master these spatial concepts, thus promoting the development of their orientation perception.
The importance of children's directional perception development;
1. Provide the foundation for children to take care of themselves: Orientation perception is the foundation for children to take care of themselves. For example, mastering orientation perception can help children better understand the spatial layout of their homes, the placement and direction of items in daily life, and make children more familiar with home life.
2. Cultivate children's adaptability to the environment: Orientation perception can help children better understand the surrounding environment and thus better adapt to different environments. This is very important for children's growth and development.
3. Promote children's all-round intellectual development: the sense of orientation is closely related to children's cognitive development. The correct development of orientation perception can promote children's all-round intellectual development and improve their cognitive ability and thinking ability.
4. Better achieve the goal of early childhood education: Orientation perception is an important part of early childhood mathematics teaching, which plays a very important role not only in mathematics, but also in all other disciplines.
The main characteristics of children's directional perception development;
1. Early childhood is an important period for the development of directional perception: early childhood is a sensitive period for the development of directional perception. At this time, children's brain neurons develop rapidly and their experience perception ability is stronger than that of adults. Therefore, it is very important to actively provide children with various perceptions and experiences.
2. The development of orientation perception is accompanied by the improvement of other cognitive abilities: the development of children's orientation perception is closely related to the development of other cognitive abilities (such as language, memory and thinking). While learning orientation perception, it can also promote the improvement of other cognitive abilities.
3. The development of directional perception has continuity and inheritance: the development of directional perception is a continuous and gradual process, that is, on the basis of the knowledge and skills that children have mastered before, they constantly expand and deepen their existing cognitive abilities.
4. The development of orientation perception depends on the environment: children gradually master and understand orientation perception through the experience and information of the environment. Therefore, it is very important to provide a high-quality and rich environment for the development of children's orientation perception.
