Action Research On The Development And Utilization Of Local Curriculum Resources

"Guidelines for Kindergarten Education (On Trial)"promulgated in2001pointed out clearly that the kindergarten’s science education should closely contact with children’s real life and use the things and phenomenon around as the objects of the scientific exploration.This provides an opportunity for the development and utilization of local curriculum resources in the kindergarten’s science education. As a kind of resources that have extremely local characteristics,rich education significance and close relationship with the infant’s life and experience, The local curriculum resources’s development and utilization in the kindergarten’s science educations not only can enrich the science curriculum’s content, perfect the science curriculum’s structure,increase the selectivty of the science curriculum,but also can widen the teachers’scientific knowledge and promote the development of teachers’professional ability in science education activities and the role transition.More important is that it can effectively stimulate the young children’s exploring interest,develop their abilities on probing,and promote them to acquire more scientific knowledge, skills,emotions and attitudes.However, the development and utilization of the local curriculum resources in the kindergarten’s science education is insufficient at present. In view of the contradiction between the insufficient development and utilization of the local curriculum resources in the kindergarten’s science education and its value in all aspects,this study suggests that it is very inportant and necessary to disscusse this issue.This research mainly used the action research method,and supplemented by other methods such us interview,observation and collection of material objects to gather and analysis information and datas.Based on the investigation and analysis of the feasibility of developing and utilizing the local curriculum resources in the cooperative kindergarten’s science education,reseacher and cooperative teachers took eight representative local resources(bao feng wine,magic,zhai ji viegar) as example to do practical exploration about the development and utilization of the local curriculum resources in the kindergarten’s science education, and put forward some practical suggestions at the end.This study mainly includes four parts:1.An introduction.Elaborating the fundamental problem of the research,reviewing the literature of relevant research,putting forward the research purpose and significance, clarifing the research mentality and methods,and defining the core concepts.2.The analysis of the feasibility about the action research and the establishment of research plan.Investigating the feasibility of the development and utilization of local curriculum resources in A kindergarten’s science education with the method of interview and observation.Developing an action research plan with the cooperative teachers to prepare for the development of action research.3.The implementation of the action research plan and the reflection and discovery of its course.Firstly,implementing,reflecting and adjusting the plan in the first round.Then,implementing and reflecting the plan that was adjusted in the second round.Finally,summarizing the enlightenments and the deficiencies of the action research.4.Suggestions.According to the survey in the action research,the study put forward some suggestions that were admed at the kindergarten,the kindergarten teachers and the parents to make the local curriculum resources be developmented and utilized in the kindergarden’s science education more sufficient.
