A Research On Kindergarten Class Culture Construction Based On Spatial Production Theory

Space is an object carrier of human creative practical activity,but culture is the existence way of human essence.As a result,the space with people is endowed with "spatial property of culture" and "cultural property of space"."Spatial property of culture" means that space is not an objective physical space.People get involved in it and carry out free and conscious activities.It includes the meaning construction and emotional experience of people about space.Therefore,space is endowed with human nature."Cultural property of space" refers to the space endowed with the cultural connotation.The cultural symbol,meaning and metaphor in space shape the cognition,behavior and emotion of people.Space is endowed with cultural property.Class as a kind of "space existence",it is endowed with the function of cultivating people with culture.It is a well-designed "cultural space".Culture is integrated into the space of class.It plays a role in transmission and dissemination.It affects the ideology and behavior of the members of class space deeply.Kindergarten classes are regarded as the "humanized" and "cultural" space with the starting point of Spatial Production Theory.Kindergarten class culture is constructed with the logical starting point of "humanistic care".Firstly,it is based on Henri Lefebvre's Spatial Production Theory.This kind of theory is regarded as the ontological theory of the kindergarten class culture construction to explain the rational meaning of the kindergarten class culture construction from the four aspects of the value orientation of humanistic care,the children-oriented content choice,the trend of dynamic generation and the ultimate goal of cultivating people with culture.Firstly,for the value orientation of the humanistic care,the real existence of children is recovered,the people-oriented value is demonstrated in the humanistic care and justice is endowed with the same recognition to win the respect for diversity.Secondly,for the children-oriented content choice,the "children-oriented" concept and spirit are led to the core of the material,systematic and spiritual cultural space in kindergarten class space.Thirdly,for the trend of dynamic generation,it is consistent with the body energy and body rhythm of the class subject so as to realize the dynamic development in presupposition and production.Fourthly,for the ultimate goal of cultivating people with culture,it is aimed to make children "complete people" under the influence of class culture.On this basis,from the perspective of Spatial Production Theory,kindergarten class culture is taken as the breakthrough point to go deep into the kindergarten class scene.The three aspects of the material culture,systematic culture and spiritual culture of kindergarten class are studied thoroughly in the observation method and the interview method.It is found that kindergarten teachers have a profound understanding and rich practical experience in the class culture construction.There are some positive points.The goal of cultivating people with culture tends to be achieved in the construction process of content selection and dynamic representation which originates from the value orientation of children and conforms to their physical experience and rhythm.However,there is still a lack of the educational function in the kindergarten class culture construction.It is faced with the alienation problem of "not cultivating people with culture".It means that due to some alienation problems such as the value orientation of instrumental rationality,the content selection of children lack and the trend of the construction process of static representation,the cultural significance of class space is weakened and the natural rhythm of children is disturbed by the monotonous and repetitive mechanical rhythm.As a result,it fails to realize the educational function of class culture.According to the investigation results,some factors to influence the kindergarten class culture construction are analyzed from the three perspectives of teachers,kindergartens and society.The cognitive deviation of teachers about the class culture construction as well as their orientation dilemma of freedom and norm and limitation of professional ability can affect whether the value appeal of "cultivating people with culture" can be realized through the kindergarten class culture construction.In addition,class space exists in kindergarten space.In terms of kindergarten culture,the content,the process and the goal all play important roles in the class culture construction.The concept conflict of social environment,the social public opinion and the cultural atmosphere can also affect the class culture construction.In addition,they can affect the process and results of the kindergarten class culture construction subtly.Finally,according to the problems existing in the kindergarten class culture construction as well as some related influencing factors,some paths are put forward by combining the theoretical basis of this research.Firstly,under the perspective of Spatial Production Theory,it is necessary to reshape the cultural conscious role of teachers in the kindergarten class culture construction.The self-awareness and reflection of teachers are the starting point to reshape the cultural conscious role of teachers.The key to reshaping the cultural conscious role of teachers is to establish the concept of class management about "cultivating people with culture".The cultivation of the cultural conscious consciousness and the improvement of the cultural construction ability are the motivation to reshape the cultural conscious role of teachers.Secondly,teachers,children and parents establish a partnership in practice to form a community of the class culture construction.It is manifested in the concept guidance as the spiritual community,the internal promotion as the learning community and the behavior guidance as the practice community.Finally,in the kindergarten class culture construction,it is necessary to emphasize the horizontal construction on the relationship among various cultural elements in the class space as well as the generation of class culture always in the vertical time dimension.The class subject needs to construct the class culture in the factor dimension and the time dimension.
