Why can't kindergartens carry out primary education?
Children's learning style depends on their level of thinking development.
1~3-year-old babies are still in the stage of intuitive action thinking. Children of this age often think by actions, but they don't think about things other than actions. So 1~3-year-old children can't learn without their perception of objects and their own movements. The baby's sucking, crawling, playing and frolicking are all his ways to explore the unknown world. These activities are of great significance to the infant's brain development and intellectual development.
From 3 to 6 years old, children's development level is in the stage of concrete image thinking. Children of this age will think with concrete images, representations and associations of representations of things. In other words, without the image of concrete things, children can't learn and think, nor can they go deep into the internal characteristics of things. When children understand and master concepts, they are often associated with specific objects and specific situations.
For example, when we asked our children what "layman" meant, one child said, "It's just sweating." Other children explained, "It's Hercules standing outside the door." Another said, "There is a boy standing outside the door."
It is precisely because of the above characteristics of children's thinking development before the age of 6 that primary school methods like abstract knowledge explanation and written homework exercises should not be adopted in early childhood education. It is found that for preschool children, game activities are more effective than classroom teaching.
Children's learning is inseparable from concrete objects and vivid and concrete activity scenes. Because of this, kindergartens are different from primary education institutions, and adopt vivid and colorful games and activities to organize learning.
In fact, children in the lower grades of primary school are still in the transition stage from concrete thinking in images to abstract logical thinking, and enriching concrete activities will help to produce good learning results.
Introduction to pre-school primary education;
The primary school of early childhood education means that the management, teaching mode and content of early childhood education focus on the primary school stage, paying attention to the transfer of knowledge rather than the physical and mental development of children, and directly teaching children the specific textbook knowledge that should be accepted in the primary school stage.
It emphasizes "instilling" knowledge into children, ignoring children's active and exploratory learning in games, ignoring the all-round development of multiple intelligences such as language ability, mathematical logic ability, early music appreciation ability, body movement ability, interpersonal communication ability, self-evaluation ability, spatial imagination ability and natural observation ability.
This kind of education violates the characteristics of children's physical and mental development and brings great negative effects.
