First, what is young convergence?
"Connecting young children" refers to the educational process of smooth transition from kindergarten to primary school. It has two meanings: first, the narrow sense of youth cohesion is concentrated in the big class next semester; Second, the broad sense of young convergence runs through the whole preschool stage of 3-6 years old.
3-6 years old is a sensitive period for children to learn gold. Parents are advised to have three years of quiet education in kindergarten, so that children can better master knowledge and adapt to primary schools more seamlessly, and gradually improve their abilities in a high-frequency and low-volume way, so that children can master their study habits unconsciously, instead of spending a year preparing for primary schools.
Second, the importance of young convergence
The connection between children is a major turning point in children's development. In kindergarten, games and ability development are the main educational methods, while primary education mainly focuses on formal schoolwork and static knowledge learning. The difference between the two educational methods requires children's physical and mental adjustment to adapt.
Because of the changes in educational conditions and living environment, children will inevitably face many new problems. They should try their best to adapt to the new environment and establish a new set of behaviors to meet the needs of adaptation. Therefore, effective child connection can help children adapt to primary school life better and faster, and make children develop well in physiology, psychology, emotion, social adaptation and learning adaptation after entering school, so as to smoothly realize the transition from kindergarten to primary school.
In April, 20021,the Ministry of Education issued "Guiding Opinions on Vigorously Promoting the Scientific Connection between Kindergartens and Primary Schools" (hereinafter referred to as "Guiding Opinions"), requiring kindergartens and primary schools to fully implement pre-school preparation and adaptation education in schools, slowing down the convergence gradient, and helping children to smoothly realize the transition from kindergarten to primary school, which pointed out the direction for a good connection between kindergartens and primary schools.
Third, the misunderstanding of young convergence.
Teach the contents of the lower grades of primary school directly, so that children can finish part of the contents of the first and second grades of primary school in kindergarten. Improper young connection such as transitional advanced learning will make children form bad study habits and attitudes. Because the contents of the first and second grades of primary school are basically mastered, children will feel that primary school learning is very easy after school and does not require too much effort or hard work.
Let children learn the contents corresponding to the main subjects of primary schools, such as increasing the proportion of mathematics, Chinese reading and writing, and English learning, and children's indoor and outdoor games and sports activities, social communication activities, and artistic creation activities will be reduced accordingly. This inappropriate young connection will make children feel tired of learning, and children will feel tired, afraid and tired of learning in kindergarten, which is very unfavorable for primary school and subsequent learning.
Education-related laws and policies clearly stipulate that it is strictly forbidden to hold any form of entrance examination in primary schools, and it is strictly forbidden to compress the curriculum or speed up the curriculum in the first grade of primary schools for any reason. Many training and education institutions, in order to gain profits, sell anxiety, violate the laws of children's physical and mental development, learn primary school knowledge in advance, and let parents pay the bill.
Therefore, it is very important to connect children scientifically, which is directly related to whether children can realize the smooth transition from kindergarten to primary school, and to their physical and mental health and lifelong development.
Fourth, young convergence, convergence of what?
The focus of children's bridging work is not the preparation of knowledge, but how to stimulate children's interest in learning, arouse children's curiosity about knowledge, cultivate children's active learning attitude, develop good study habits and establish the courage to overcome difficulties. Therefore, the relationship between children should be based on the development of children, follow the age and psychological characteristics of children, and pay attention to the cultivation of interests, habits and abilities.
