Love Education:the Research On Implementation Of Developmentally Appropriate Kindergarten-based Curriculum

Love is closely related with education. Where there is love, there is love education. In this society, however, child abuse cases occur frequently in kindergarten, we began to think about what’s the matter with today’s education and where teachers’ love has been. In today’s families, rural stay-at-home children lack of parents’ care, while urban parents give excessive love. What kind of love we should give to our children? And what kind of love is suitable for them? In the society where love began to collapse gradually, we need one kind of notion for education on the premise of love. Thus to help children, teachers and parents understand and express love properly.In view of the current education situation of love absence, this study adopted action research, and involved in the love education curriculum construction in the Q kindergarten which has been rich of love for 80 years. The duration is more than five months. The curriculum situation of Q was understood deeply from the curriculum framework, curriculum goal, curriculum content, curriculum implementation and so on. Taking the curriculum implementation as the breakthrough point, we observed and recorded the five approach to the implementation course, including teaching and learning activities by love themes, love picture books’ performance, love games and life activities, love festival sharing activities, specific places education of love activities and the creation of love environment. Then the performance of teachers and children in the curriculum implementation was analyzed and summarized.Through the observed implementation of the love education curriculum in the Q kindergarten, three problems were further discussed——should love education curriculum implementation be scheduled or processed? Ordered or unordered? Should the curriculum implementation get into or out of the kindergarten? The basic view of this study is that the implementation should be the unification of scheduled curriculum and processed curriculum, should be coordinated with and without order, and should be in relation with kindergarten, family and community.Meanwhile, the implementation of the love education curriculum needs to start from two perspectives, which are "harmony in diversity" and "endless reproduction". Teachers should master thought of teaching with "harmony in diversity" and explore the curriculum resources of "harmony in diversity". Kindergarten should form a curriculum model of "endless reproduction" and anticipate a virtuous cooperation of family, kindergarten and community in the same time.
