Cultural Critique Of Regular Education In Kindergarten

AbstractRegulars come along with the birth of kindergartens. With the popularization and normalization of kindergarten. Regular education, which is the most familiar conception of everyday life in the field of pre-school education, has aroused general concern. Just as Hegel said, familiar but not knowing. Regular has improved the life quality of children, at the same time it also has accelerated the alienation procedure of children's life, and the alienation follows the way of tacit and secret, which is quietly in progress.As far as the learning of life regular is concerned, children learn to get collective common life regular on their own initiative in the primitive society. However, as the emerging of family order, children have been transformed from public state in primitive society into private area of family life for the demanding of life. Compared to the initiative learning of collective common life regular, it was an unwilling process for children to learn family orders. Children life regular, namely children order, has close connection with "kindergarten", from then on, children's order established their basic status to the kindergarten education; When Frobel conceived of medium school, it is inevitable for children's life from kindergarten to school. This continuous chain have been accepted and confirmed naturally by constant spreading and advancing in the popularization of kindergarten movement. In fact, the unknowing meaning may be hiding behind this "process of complying".In the field of kindergarten regular education, regular has completed the administration and control to the children by some subtle ruling technique, and it also limited them under the regular life, Such as, define the children's body and their movement by tambourine, rhythm, demonstration and fixation; planning and define the children's life by seat, formation, seating and life schedule. At here, Due to the kindergarten regular, everyday life of children in kindergarten became a "regular life ", and then, " general order" of the children 's life comes into being by regular life. Under the controlling of general order, children have been seemed as an object of regular education, and their initiative has been constrained. Subjectivity nearly lost. Most important, life world of children tend to alienation. Regular life screens the varied meaning of everyday life on function and simple the life into some activities and definitions. Regular stem from the natural connection of children's body and cultural convention originally, and it aims to better children life. But now, it became a handcuff and constrained children freedom and activeness conversely.As we know, contradiction between freedom and control is the fundamental conflict in educational world. Regular education may be a dilemma question between freedom and control. It is a very complicated process to deal with them properly. It demands that we should reflect and criticize in theory, and awaken and transcend in practice.
