? Materials are the materialization of educational goals and contents. For young children, materials are the intermediary and bridge to actively construct experience and understand the world around them. Reasonable selection and delivery of materials is the premise and guarantee for developing regional activities. Teachers should understand materials, research materials and analysis materials, reduce the blindness of material transmission and ensure the effective development of regional activities.
I. Material category:
? The main materials needed to support the area, such as building blocks in the construction area, books in the reading area, dolls in the doll house, and materials that can play an auxiliary role in regional activities, enrich and improve activities. At the same time, many children's inquiry activities and operation activities are inseparable from the corresponding tools, such as scissors and tape in the art area of small shovel kettle in the planting area.
Second, put the appropriate materials:
What is suitable material means that the material should adapt to children's age characteristics, thinking characteristics and development level of hobbies, thus triggering children's efficient activities and positive development. For example, children in middle and large classes gradually transition from concrete thinking to abstract thinking, and their awareness of rules is gradually enhanced, and their ability to communicate with peers is further developed. Therefore, the materials provided by teachers should gradually increase the challenges and have certain rules. At the same time, natural materials can be more diverse and creative, and the types of materials can be increased, but the number of the same materials can be reduced.
1. Procurement: all kinds of building blocks and plastic toys in the construction area, pigments and color palette in the art area, puzzles and chess in the puzzle area.
Note: The materials in the activity area are different from toys. Teachers need to go through secondary selection and reprocessing before they can turn the bought toys into materials.
2. Teachers and children * * * collect together: art area-stone, waste created by the environment ... can be used as paste materials in the art field.
3. Please ask parents to help collect: cartons, toothpaste boxes, cosmetic boxes, shirt boxes and other items, old cloth, ropes, bottles and so on. Processed into rich materials.
4. Teachers and children make together: With the continuous improvement of children's ability, middle and large classes can also let children participate in the production. For example, practice the materials of decomposition and combination in the math area and the jigsaw puzzle in the jigsaw puzzle area.
The development of regional activities needs gradual research, exploration, delivery, implementation, tracking and observation. As teachers, we should keep learning and bring more things to our children. Keep moving!
