Action Research On The Creation And Utilization Of Kindergarten Natural Experience Corner

The natural experience corner is the main place for children to participate in observation,planting and feeding activities,and its creation and utilization are of great value to children's growth.However,when writer diagnosed the current situation of the creation and utilization of the natural experience corner in the H kindergarten,I found there are some problems: the natural experience corner are identical at all ages;Lack of interaction between children and natural experience corner;Lack of rules and experience disordered;Lack of continuity and generation for Children's records;etc.The reasons behind these problems are that natural experience corner are relatively neglected,the materials within natural experience corner lack operability,and natural experience corner are isolated,etc.In view of the above problems and reasons,the research is based on the theme activity of “Great Me” of a top class in H kindergarten,writer adopted the action research paradigm and carried out the spiral action research of “plan-implement-observe-reflect” together with the cooperative teachers,in order to improve the problems in the creation and utilization of the natural experience corner,explore the methods for the design and generation of the natural experience corner activities,explore the appropriate supportive strategies for the teachers in the natural experience corner activities,and try to construct the connections inside and outside the natural experience corner.The research carried out three rounds of actions,corresponding to the planning and creation phase,the management and maintenance phase and the recording and harvesting phase of the natural experience corner respectively.In the first round of actions,the original experience of young children is analyzed according to the previous observation and interviews.Then the natural experience corner activities are designed based on the original experience of young children,to enable young children to explore and understand the characteristics of cherry radish and hamster through various senses,and lay an empirical foundation for subsequent formal planting and breeding;The second round of action,based on the reflection of the first round of action,designed and adjusted the action plan,the practice of “small housekeeping” in natural experience corner is carried out,and attention is paid to generating activities based on children's interests,needs and discoveries.combining preset activities with generating activities,highlighting children's autonomy and making children become “small housekeeper” and small masters of the natural experience corner;The third round of action mainly explored diversified recording methods,and based on the findings and problem-generating activities in the measurement of children's natural experience corner,the connection between natural experience corner and other areas and other activities was strengthened.After three rounds of actions,it is found that children's active participation is the key to the creation and use of natural experience corner.The creation and utilization of natural angle are two-way construction and equal symbiosis.The natural experience corner can establish ecological connection with other areas and other activities.The effective development of natural experience corner activities cannot be separated from the supportive strategies of teachers.
