幼儿园新任教师职业适应问题研究

对宁波市五所幼儿园30名新任教师调查的结果表明,幼儿园新任教师的职业适应问题主要表现在职业技能、人际关系、职业心理三方面存在一些不适应。造成不适应的因素主要包括职业憧憬、择业动机、个性特征在内的主观因素和传统观念、幼儿园教师的社会地位与待遇、家庭朋友的影响以及幼儿园管理在内的客观因素。新任教师自身、幼儿园和政府三方面都应努力积极应对,以期帮助幼儿园新任教师有效实现职业适应,促进新任教师自身的专业发展。

农村幼儿教师专业化发展探析——以课例研修为例

在农村幼儿教师专业化发展过程中,课例研修对教师教育观念的转变、教学设计与组织能力的提升起着至关重要的作用。本文以农村幼儿教师在国培"影子园"进行"一课三研"课例研修为例,分析教师如何在教学目标确定、教学方案设计、教学活动组织诸方面进行群体反思、研讨修正,以此促进他们专业化发展。     

论高师学前教育专业理论课程的设置

目前,幼儿园教师培养高等教育化已成为学前教育发展的必然趋势。办好学前教育专业的核心是课程方案的设置。其中,专业理论课程的设置尤为重要,它决定着学前教育专业的专业品位和受教育者的专业发展。我们应在突出其专业性的基础上,强化课程的实践性,并促进受教育者的终身学习。为此,学前教育专业理论课程需建立以专业性和解决现实问题为核心的课程目标,形成包含专业信念和情意培养、精选学前教育基础知识和技能、反映最新相关研究成果并有选择地综合的课程内容,构建实践取向的多样而开放的课程结构,共同促进课程的发展。     

1992～2012年中国大陆学前儿童性教育研究述评

1992 ～2012年中国大陆学前儿童性教育研究主要集中在性教育的必要性、目标、原则、内容、途径、方法、实施现状及原因等方面,但研究存在研究方法单一,对诸多问题的认识存在分歧,研究内容过浅过窄,研究思路缺乏变通等不足.未来研究需要采用多元化和科学化的研究方法,统一认识,澄清职责,拓展和深化研究内容,变革和更新研究思路,形成本土化的学前儿童性教育研究特色.     

甘肃农村学前教育事业发展中存在的问题与思考

对甘肃天水、定西、张掖、酒泉等地的农村学前教育现状进行抽样调查,发现该地区农村学前教育发展的问题有:地方幼教管理具有"少、偏、行政化和商业化"色彩;学前教育经费来源的异变;留守幼儿面临家庭教育的缺失;幼儿教师的专业性水平低而层次不齐;全教育环境中的潜在学前教育观念难以更新.基于此,应重视建立适宜于甘肃农村的幼教管理体制,重视培养与培训能够长期热爱、执行幼教工作的教师,并加强幼教舆论宣传,优质整合全教育环境等.     

Under-threes’ mathematical learning – teachers’ perspectives

This project highlights preschool teachers’ views of toddlers’ learning in mathematics. The Swedish national curriculum covers even the youngest children who are 1–3?years old. Interesting questions are thus: what should mathematics be for this age group and how should preschool teachers work with maths to achieve the curriculum objectives? Data were collected through interviews with six preschool teachers working in four different preschools. The data show that the teachers emphasize the body as very important for the learning process, which means that for these children, it is not a matter of simply talking about mathematical concepts, but experiencing them bodily. The teachers also report that they now pay more attention than previously to what material the children use and how they interact with it. They are more aware of how they organize and offer the various materials in the preschool and how this influences the way children use them and, consequently, their learning processes.     

Powerful teaching in preschool – a study of goal-oriented activities for conceptual learning

This article reports on a small-scale investigation of how teachers organise goal-oriented learning in Swedish preschools. The revised Swedish curriculum (National Agency for Education 2011) highlights the need for children to develop their mathematics skills through activities that integrate play and learning. This study investigates how different types of activities contribute to children developing their understanding of the concepts ‘half’ and ‘double’. Three preschool teachers participated in a developmental project in which they conduct teaching in accordance with the Variation Theory of Learning. The pedagogical contexts they bring into being reveal important insights for early childhood education. The pedagogical context that can be realised in the planned activities limits or favours the learning process and the success of the theoretical aspirations for the session. This article discusses the idea of ‘teaching’ and how to facilitate conceptual development in a goal-oriented but child-centred practice. The main results show that play is central in early childhood education, and that problem-solving as a means for mathematics education needs to be problematised and used with sensitivity to the children's intentions and perspectives.
