Design And Practice Of Stem Education Curriculum In Kindergarten

With the arrival of a learning society in the 21 st century,the development of today's world is deeply affected by science and technology.A country that wants to stand on the stage of future international competition needs sufficient human resources,that is,high-quality scientific and technological personnel.STEM education was first proposed by the United States and is considered to be an important way to cultivate valuable scientific and technological talents and innovative capabilities in the future.STEM is the four-letter abbreviation of Science,Technology,Engineering,and Maths.Due to the importance of the disciplines and the inter-disciplinary links,these four disciplines are combined to form a new form of education.The education community has gradually discovered the value of STEM education,and it has quickly received strong government and school support abroad.The introduction of the STEM education concept in China is relatively late,and it really started to heat up in 2017.Compared with other countries,the research on STEM curriculum design and curriculum practice is still in its infancy.Through the literature analysis method,translating and collating the existing relevant domestic subject literature,collecting current STEM curriculum cases and analyzing them,it can be concluded that the number of studies carried out under the theme "STEM curriculum" or "STEAM curriculum" is very small,and concentrated analysis The content of the current implementation of STEM courses is lacking.STEM educators and related course researchers in China have not conducted more in-depth research on STEM education.It deserves more important attention and research.STEM education originally started in higher education,but it is now popular in preschool education.It must have its own unique features.How to implement ideas to promote kindergarten education and reform kindergarten curriculum is undoubtedly a hardship for educators.war.The STEM curriculum in the kindergarten integrates cross-disciplinary cross-disciplinary knowledge,cultivates children's STEM literacy,designs courses in the form of real problem situation reproduction,guides children at different ages to study independently,develops children's logical thinking ability andinnovative thinking;the value of the curriculum is reflected in Interdisciplinary knowledge,the connection and unity between society and individuals,the collision between science and daily life,and the combination of children's internal development and curriculum literacy.In the kindergarten practice STEM curriculum,the value of the STEM curriculum is fully reflected in the interactive cooperation between children and teachers,the teaching design of problem exploration and knowledge integration,the dynamic course process of personal operation and group communication learning,and the expression of children's autonomy and teachers Diversified and open evaluation.The main body of the thesis is divided into six chapters.The first part is an introduction,which completes the introduction of the background,research purpose,and research status of domestic and foreign research on STEM curriculum.It also outlines the main research methods adopted by this institute.The second part mainly uses literature analysis to sort out the relevant definitions of the content,which aims to explain the connotation and basic characteristics of STEM education,STEM courses,and summarizes the experience of some classic courses at home and abroad.The third part compares and analyzes the science education activities of kindergartens with the kindergarten STEM curriculum discussed in this study,and reveals the general problems of the kindergarten STEM curriculum currently underway.The fourth and fifth parts of the article are the main chapters of the dissertation.They mainly analyze the relevant elements of curriculum design based on the classic cases of domestic and foreign existing STEM courses,and draw the basic principles of curriculum design based on the characteristics of STEM courses.Design steps.Draw up the basic framework of curriculum practice,and cooperate with teachers in selected internship units to conduct a practical analysis of the STEM curriculum in the kindergarten.Finally,according to the teaching practice during and after the course practice,the basic conclusions of this course practice are drawn,and the experience of this study is summarized,and recommendations for developing STEM courses in kindergartens are given purposefully.This study demonstrates the effectiveness and feasibility of the STEM curriculum design framework proposed in the paper through the results of literature analysis,questionnaire surveys,teacher-student interviews,and classroom observations.Explain that the introduced educational concept can be better located in education through certain precipitation and practical teaching and research,and achieve the purpose of promoting education development,bringing great benefits to the majority of educators and educated people.Make achievements for the cultivation of competitive talents for the future society.
