As a kind of symbol mark, kindergarten teachers convey the information, requirements and specific cultural connotations that we are needed into images and texts, which indicates and internalized in the children's behavior in kindergarten. The marks as a carrier on behalf of the social norms, carry a large number of social contract, is the refraction of social order. Therefore, as teachers, the spokesmen of the mainstream culture, internalize the values, norms, beliefs that are expected in society into the marks and build the basic goal to guide children's actions. So, what forms do the marks exist in kindergarten? How does it work? Admittedly, under certain conditions,the existence of marks is appropriate and reasonable in kindergarten, but if teachers absolutize the marks, using the methods, such as words, practice, supervision to influence children's consciousness and cognition, as a tool which controls the children,the existent value and significance of the marks is worth doubting. On the other hand,children are not completely passive individual in the mark place of kindergarten. They ignore, revolt, or destruction the marks to express their needs and desires and strive for self activity space.Kindergarten marks itself are no right or wrong, it may guide the children's development, but also may have the opposite effect, the key is that marks represent which culture and reflect what ideas. Therefore, the value criterion of kindergarten marks is norm or discipline, control or guide, heteronomy or self-discipline? These decide the marks influence on children's thoughts and behaviors.In fact, about the investigation of kindergarten mark world, is not to delve into inherent logic between "mark- discipline" and predict whether there will be new discipline in kindergarten, but to observe teachers' reaction in mark field and the actual states of children, in order to explore the states in kindergarten mark world.Based on the above considerations, the author thinks that marks' existence is reasonable under a certain condition, however, teachers should grasp the degree which should be carried in the process of using the mark, adhere to the necessary andappropriate, interaction and compatibility, free but not longitudinal principle.
