Preschool Education

As soon as the topic of "how to carry out forest education in kindergartens" was issued, we received letters from the principals and teachers. What we discussed was how to design and effectively implement the forest education curriculum.

Chen Li, founder of Andy Forest Education in 2021 China preschool education public welfare forum, brought a speech on "true forest and Zhen Education", sharing the growth point of Forest Education in kindergartens and the key of forest education curriculum design, so as to bring more ideas for kindergarten directors and teachers. Let's see.

Forest school is a kind of outdoor education, which emphasizes the children as the leading role and the children's interest as the starting point to carry out teaching activities. In the process of understanding the surrounding environment and the world, children perceive the characteristics of things through their vision, hearing, touch, smell, taste and so on, and construct the cognitive structure by personal experience.

There is no forest in kindergarten. Can forest education be carried out? What is the growth point of Forest Education in kindergarten?

Education is the transmission of knowledge. Children of different ages should have different education methods. For preschool children, education can not be completed by simple knowledge transfer.

Mr. Chen said that children need to grow up and face the future. Real education is not only the transfer of knowledge, but also more important for children to gain wisdom and have more courage to face the future and society. Therefore, in early childhood, teachers do not need to "package" the society very well, but should let children perceive and understand society in an intuitive way, which is forest education.

What is forest education? Taking tree climbing as an example, in simple climbing movements, children have the ability to coordinate movement and balance. Among them, children will gain self-confidence or frustration because they successfully climb or fail to climb the tree, which is difficult to experience through textbooks.

What are the growth points of Forest Education in kindergarten? How does it connect with exam oriented education? Mr. Chen listed the important factors for kindergarten to carry out forest Education: environment, curriculum, parents and safety.

   Environmental Science

Environment is an important part of the forest education curriculum. Teachers should be good at exploring and using the natural environment resources, historical and cultural resources and social resources around the kindergarten to design courses that are in line with the reality.

For example, Mr. Chen said that forest education does not have to go deep into nature. It can also be done by using natural factors such as weather. For example, in the course "rain", teachers can use the accumulated water after the rain as the material for education; For Museum theme courses, teachers can "move" the classroom directly to the museum; In the theme education of fire safety, teachers can organize the children to come to the fire brigade to experience the real fire fighting equipment and equipment and enrich the children's experience.

As for the feedback from parents that children are not attentive and easily distracted, Mr. Chen believes that it is not the children's lack of concentration, but that the children only focus on the things they are interested in. Therefore, in teaching, teachers should find out the children's interest points, so that children can develop their own concentration in teaching activities.

Education comes from life and should return to life. The residential areas, parks and supermarkets near kindergartens should become educational resources. Instead of letting children gain experience in imitation, it is better to let them get direct experience through real experience.

  curriculum

There are four important links in the development of forest activities: discovery, observation, exploration and cooperation.

The process of children's learning is the process of discovery, observation and exploration. When children walk into the forest and nature, they will develop good learning habits and living habits in the process of discovery, observation and exploration, which will lay a solid foundation for future primary school, junior high school and senior high school. It is also the connection point between Forest Education and exam oriented education.

In forest education, there will be a lot of cooperation between children, cooperative games and cooperative learning. In this process, children's communication ability, communication ability and reflection ability will also be significantly improved.

Four important links constitute the curriculum of forest education, namely, the learning course based on experience. For example, from the experience of snow courses, learn the knowledge of four seasons change; From the footprints of intangible cultural heritage, we can learn the knowledge of traditional culture

These experiences are good growth for children. It's like climbing a tree, you may fall down, you may also climb up quickly, but for children, whether it's success or failure, it's an experience, and it's a situation that they have to face when they grow up. Only by experiencing life and perceiving life in the real environment and accumulating experience and courage for future life can we go further.

  parent

Parents' work is an important part of kindergarten work, especially at present, compared with traditional education, forest education is still relatively small, how to let parents identify, support and cooperate with kindergarten work?

Mr. Chen believes that the relationship between kindergarten and parents should be "two-way rush". Parents choose kindergartens for their children, and kindergartens also have the right to choose parents. Both sides respect and understand each other and resonate with the concept of forest education, so that children can grow better in it. Before entering the kindergarten, teachers should interview with their parents to understand the basic situation; In the garden, teachers should communicate with their parents in time to establish a good home relationship; After children leave the kindergarten, the kindergarten should do a good job in tracking and feedback information.

  security

In forest education, safety is the top priority. In the process of education, teachers should combine theory with practice, implement safety awareness in all aspects, and let children improve their self-protection function in practice, so that they can avoid danger when they are in danger.

To carry out forest education, we should abide by the following safety principles: weather, site investigation, nearby resources, security guarantee. Before the activity, the teacher should check the weather condition of the day in advance, check the site condition in advance, and reduce the accident factors to a very low level. In addition. Teachers should know whether there are hospitals, rescue stations and other places near the activity site, so as to prepare for unexpected needs; During the activity, emergency materials such as first aid kit should be in place at all times.

Mr. Chen repeatedly mentioned that forest education does not have to be carried out in the forest. It is more a concept, which teaches us how to respect and accompany children, and provide children with a learning environment, so that children can grow up in the forest, in the city and in any corner. The purpose of forest education is not only to convey knowledge, but also to enable children to gain more wisdom and experience and have more courage when facing the world in the future.

For more forest education, sign up for 2022 China preschool education public welfare forum, and more than 100 famous teachers, experts and kindergarten directors share: natural education, kindergarten based curriculum, children's aesthetic education, kindergarten management, scientific education, environmental innovation, home co education, indoor and outdoor activities, brand building, integration of sports and education, and connection of kindergarten and primary schools.

At the same time, the 13th South China International Preschool Education Exhibition was held at the same time, with more than 500 brands and more than 10000 categories (Series) products, services and projects, providing support for kindergartens to carry out education and teaching in five major fields.
