Enlightenment Of Modern Brain Science To Pre-primary Education

More and more knowledge about human beings, especially about the human brains, has been acquired, along with the rapid progressing of the science and technology. Just in the recent 30 years, many discoveries in the field of neuroscience come forth constantly, which will greatly influence our viewpoint of children and that of education so as to make the educational practice build on the scientific basis.Then how will the achievements in neuroscience study exert influence on the development of the pre-primary education in China? This thesis will discuss this theme from 3 aspects.In the first part, the actual studies in the pre-primary education don't pay enough attention to attaining forceful supports by adopting the newest discoveries in the neuroscience. Therefore, it is inevitable that many paradoxes emerge in the theories of pre-primary education and many mistakes have been made in the practice.Part two contains that the newest achievements related to education in the field of neuroscience in recent 30 years are introduced by reviewing the progress of the neuroscience studies related to education. These mainly include:1.The neuroscience studies have gone deep into the level of cell and molecule.2.The function of the brain is understood in the view of integration, rather than the view of the division of labour between the left and right brain.3.The key developing period of the brain can be scientifically monitored.4.The development of the function of the brain has got the more scientific meanings etc.What part three deals with is on the basis of the foregoing introduction, the author offers his opinions about how to reconstruct the pre-primary education in China by adopting the achievements of neuroscience studies. The author's opinions revolve around many aspects of the pre-primary education, such as its status and function, aims, contents, methods, evaluation, system and so on.
