Proposals for reform of the trend towards elementary school education in preschool education

1) The harm of the tendency of preschool education to be elementary school:

Affect the normal development of young children's bodies;

restricting the intellectual development of young children;

suppressing the formation of a good personality in young children;

It is not conducive to the formation of good learning habits after children enter school.

2) Reasons for the tendency of preschool education to be elementary school:

caters to the mentality of parents who "hope that their son will become a dragon";

weak faculty;

Poor school conditions.

3) The difference between preschool education and school education should put an end to the tendency of preschool "primary school", and the reform suggestions are as follows:

Establish the independent status and nature of pre-school education, and firmly establish the concept that pre-school education is not a preparatory education for primary school.

Pre-school education is the foundation stage of basic education, and its educational objectives, learning content, learning methods, teaching evaluation, teaching staff, management system, etc. have their own independent requirements and standards. Pre-school education is not an ancillary to primary school, nor is it preparatory education to primary school. The theory and argument that kindergarten education is carried out so that children can acquire the basic skills of elementary school is wrong.

Intensify the governance of "primary school" at all levels and educational administrative departments.

The education sector has an unshirkable responsibility for correcting the tendency of early childhood education to become elementary school. The attitude of the education sector determines to a large extent the orientation of the society towards the evaluation of kindergartens. It is necessary to fundamentally solve the problem of "elementary schooling."

Education departments at all levels must further strengthen the guidance, supervision and management of kindergartens. It is recommended that the Ministry of Education strengthen research, issue documents and regulations, clarify responsibilities, put forward requirements, formulate measures, increase governance nationwide, and standardize kindergarten school behavior. Strengthen the kindergarten evaluation mechanism and supervision and supervision, in the kindergarten annual assessment and inspection, adjust the assessment and evaluation standards for kindergartens, admonishment or warning for kindergartens with serious primary school tendencies in early childhood education, rectification within a time limit, rectification does not meet the requirements, should cancel its qualifications.

It is necessary to strengthen the supervision and inspection of kindergartens through open and secret visits, regular discussions, and accepting complaints. Education departments at all levels should often give operational guidance to the education and teaching work of kindergartens, correct the direction of kindergartens, and ensure the healthy growth of young children.

Strengthen the professional quality training of kindergarten principals and preschool teachers.

In the final analysis, the root cause of the tendency of elementary school education in early childhood education is the improper educational thinking and the low quality of kindergarten principals and teachers. Preschool teachers are the direct implementers of early childhood education, and it is particularly important to correct the educational thinking of kindergarten principals and preschool teachers, and improve their professional quality and ability to correct the tendency of early childhood education to be primary school. Therefore, the state and local governments should increase investment in the training of kindergarten principals and preschool teachers.

Change the thinking, improve the quality, so that all the principals and preschool teachers of the educational thinking completely reversed, so that their quality is more suitable for the needs of kindergarten quality education.

Pre-school education is an important stage in the growth and development of children, which not only has an important impact on children's intellectual, emotional, social and physical development, but also lays the foundation for subsequent learning and life. Therefore, the reform and development of pre-school education is very important.

Regarding the issue of the CPPCC National Committee members suggesting a lower age for kindergarten admission, I think it should be combined with the actual situation and the law of children's physical and mental development to carry out specific reforms. Here are some of my thoughts on preschool reform:

1. Improve the problem of insufficient preschool education resources: At present, the lack of preschool education resources is a common problem, and many families are difficult to provide good preschool education for their children. Therefore, we should increase the construction and investment of pre-university education resources, including strengthening the construction of public kindergartens and childcare institutions, encouraging and supporting the development of private kindergartens, and improving the popularity and quality of pre-school education.

2. Establish a scientific preschool education evaluation system: preschool education evaluation should not only assess students' cognitive and skill levels, but also evaluate students' physical and mental development, emotional and social conditions. This requires the establishment of a scientific evaluation system, including evaluation methods, evaluation criteria and evaluation tools.

3. Strengthen the construction of preschool education teachers: The quality and effect of preschool education largely depend on the level and quality of teachers. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of preschool teachers, including strengthening teacher training, improving teachers' salaries, establishing incentive mechanisms and strengthening teacher management.

4. Scientifically formulate the age standard for children to enter the kindergarten: The formulation of the age of children entering the kindergarten should be based on scientific research and the laws of children's physical and mental development, rather than simply according to the subjective opinions of some people. At the same time, factors such as the family environment, life experience and cultural background of young children should be taken into account to develop flexible age standards for kindergarten admission.
