科技与幼儿发育

儿童真正需要计算机吗?他们是否能在使用计算机的过程中获益?很多家长对这些问题给出了肯定的答案。但有关的专家对此并不认同,他们认为需要放缓将电脑等高科技产品置于幼儿与学龄前儿童学习生活的进程,需要进行一次广泛的公开讨论,探讨先进技术在幼儿生活中的作用与地位。他们认为,儿童真正需要的技能是在和他人直接交流和接触中获得的。1.幼儿的发展无需助推启动。未发育成熟的大脑既不需要也不能从“助推启动”(jum p-start)设备中获益,成功地向幼儿销售产品的事实表明我们对儿童早期发展的忽视。早期儿童教育正在经历一个激变过程。这种…

试论游戏在幼儿成长的作用

游戏是儿童的本能,是幼儿生活的基本活动.这是由幼儿身心发展规律、特点决定的.《幼儿园工作规程》中明确提出了"幼儿园应以游戏为基本活动,应根据幼儿的年龄特点选择和指导游戏,应因地制宜地为幼儿创设游戏环境……游戏是对幼儿进行全面教育的重要重要组成部分",因此,对游戏的利用也越来越充分.根据幼儿科学教育的要求,游戏应该成为学龄前儿童的主导活动.那么游戏究竟具有哪些特点,在幼儿成长中起到哪些作用呢?     

论游戏与幼儿发展

喜好游戏是幼儿的天性使然。幼儿的游戏对幼儿的身体、认知、社会性和情绪情感等的发展均具有特别重要的意义。幼儿的游戏需要能否得到满足,游戏能否真正成为幼儿的基本活动,取决于成人社会的支持与保障,但目前学前教育中有一种忽视游戏的倾向。承认游戏是幼儿身心发展的需要并保证这种需要能得到满足,要求我们树立科学的幼儿观和教育观,要求我们要恰当地运用教师的指导和成人干预的手段,要求我们要保障幼儿能有愉快而有益的自由活动,并使非游戏活动游戏化。     

浅论幼儿规则游戏下的幼儿发展

正幼儿早期游戏看似是玩耍,实则也是有规则存在的。正如维果茨基所说,规则就是游戏的本质特征。在儿童游戏中,都存在着一定的规则,只不过其表现的程度不同,有内隐性和外在虚拟性。没有游戏的情境性和秩序感,幼儿游戏就不能获得纪律性的保证,也就无法顺利开展。那么如何看待幼儿的规则游戏呢?这些规则游戏对幼儿发     

Active living: Physical activities for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers

Active Living is an approach that encourages people to be physically active every day. By targeting infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, early childhood educators will contribute to their lifestyles as Active Living Children. This article is designed as a framework for early childhood educators to support an active lifestyle among very young children. Various activities are described to promote active play for very young children and all of its associated benefits.     

The Home Play of Toddlers with Disabilities: Contexts and maternal perspectives

A multiple case‐study design was used to explore the spontaneous play of three toddlers with disabilities as it emerged in the course of everyday activity in the home. Children were observed at home playing independently and with their mothers. Data consist of videotaped naturalistic observations in the children’s homes and mothers’ perspectives of their child’s play obtained in semi‐structured interviews. There was a great deal of similarity in the playful behaviour of toddlers and their mothers. Toddlers were active players throughout all daily routines and their play reflected their developmental level. Mothers actively supported their children’s initiative and engagement in play and they spoke of play as a highly valued behaviour. Some qualitative differences were noted in child and mother–child play, which seemed to relate to the nature of the child’s disability and developmental level. Further study of the play of young children with disabilities in naturalistic settings and ways that mothers and other caregivers value and support child play is recommended.     

Technology as Play

The role of play in young children's learning has always been considered to be of primary importance. Thus, early childhood programs have been characterized by curricula that provide plenty of opportunity for young children to play and interact with materials, ideas, and people. As we approach the new millennium, the impact of the new information technologies on play and as play, for young children need to be conceptualized and discussed. This article begins that discussion. The view that there are opportunities for young children to play in technological environments as well as with traditional materials and contexts is presented.     

Block play: Building a foundation for literacy

The role of block play in the development of reading and writing is presented and discussed. A literacy-enriched block-play center is described, and accompanying tables identify books and additional literacy materials suggested for integration into a block-play area. Additionally, children's use of literacy props in a block-play area is presented through observations made in two preschool classrooms. Samples of children's writing produced during spontaneous block-play sessions are included to support examples given in the text.     

Routines That Build Emergent Literacy Skills in Infants, Toddlers, and Preschoolers

Many children lack adequate exposure to environments that promote emergent literacy. This limits brain stimulation and can have a life-long negative impact on one's knowledge and skills. Salient points relate to the healthy development of literacy, including practical information and applications. Emphasis is placed on strategies for motivating infants, toddlers, and preschoolers as they slowly and steadily build the competences that serve as the groundwork for reading, writing, speaking, viewing, and listening.     

Preschoolers' Funds of Knowledge Displayed Through Sociodramatic Play Episodes in a Bilingual Classroom

Funds of knowledge displayed by young children during sociodramatic play in a two-way bilingual preschool classroom are identified. Twelve preschoolers participated in a microethnographic study of children's language and culture in a small rural community of South Texas. The study sought to identify cultural elements or traits of Mexican American children exhibited during sociodramatic play. The cultural traits identified as funds of knowledge include language, values and beliefs, ways of discipline, and the value of education, among others. It is suggested for teachers to use sociodramatic play as a tool to observe children and learn about their funds of knowledge in order to implement a culturally reflective curriculum.

Educational television as mediated literacy environments for preschoolers

Research on children’s television suggests that preschool programs can facilitate literacy and language development. In 1998 Whitehurst and Lonigan described two interdependent sets of skills involved in literacy acquisition: ‘outside‐in’ or oral language skills and ‘inside‐out’ or code‐related skills. Outside‐in skills support children’s interpretation or understanding of print by placing written language into context through oral language. Inside‐out skills focus on those skills involved in the translation of print into sounds and sounds into print. This study describes the production techniques of Between the Lions that contributed to preschooler’s observed behaviors from the outside‐in and the inside‐out.
