Harmony And Conflict

The quality of school readiness will not only predict the academic performance of young children,but also affect the long-term development of young children.Kindergarten parents,kindergarten teachers,primary school parents and primary school teachers are the stakeholders of school readiness.This article discussed the group's Conceptions of school readiness by using the phenomenographic method,clarified the difficult problems in the current school readiness,and put forward some reasonable suggestions.The concept of school readiness was divided into three questions: “what to prepare”,“why to prepare” and “who will prepare”.The conclusions were as follows:First,in the understanding of “what to prepare”.The parent groups payed more attention to the preparation of “knowledge and skills”.Among them,elementary school parents payed the least attention to “learning quality preparation”.In addition,except for kindergarten parents,the other three groups hoped that children can be “psychologically prepared”.From the perspective of cities B and W,kindergarten teachers in city B payed more attention to “social preparation” than kindergarten teachers in city W;elementary school teachers in city B payed more attention to “psychological preparation” than elementary teachers in city W;Primary school parents in the city of B payed more attention to “social preparation” than primary school parents in the city of W;kindergarten parents in the city of W payed more attention to “healthy preparation” than parents in the city of B.Secondly,in the understanding of “why to prepare”.The vast majority of the four groups believed that the school readiness is “to adapt to primary school life”.But,compared with kindergarten teachers and elementary school teachers,more primary school parents thought that “no preparation is necessary” or that “My child is not prepared”,and many parents of young children did school readiness “because other children have prepared”.From the perspectives of cities B and W,there was no significant difference in the understanding of “why to prepare” among kindergarten teachers,kindergarten parents,and elementary school teachers,however,the elementary parents in city B had a significantly higher understanding of “in order to adapt to primary school life” than elementary school parents in City W.Third,in the understanding of “who will prepare”.More people thought that “parents” should prepare for school.Among them,kindergarten teachers attached more importance to “home-kindergarten cooperation preparation” and “home-kindergarten-children cooperation preparation”,and they did not want to rely solely on “parent preparation”;elementary school teachers payed more attention to “home-school cooperation preparation” and “home-kindergarten-school cooperation preparation” than other groups,but only 1/3 of the primary school teachers in the survey.The parent groups regarded school readiness as their own business and did not “rely on” and “expect” kindergarten or elementary school.From the perspectives of cities B and W,Kindergarten teachers in city B had a significantly higher understanding of “home-kindergarten cooperation” than kindergarten teachers in city W.This was because nearly one-third of the kindergarten teachers in city W mentioned that they should “home-kindergarten-children cooperation preparation” for school readiness.W city kindergarten parents attached more importance to “parent preparation” than B city kindergarten parents,but B city elementary school teachers attached more importance to “parent preparation” than W city elementary school teachers.Based on the above conclusions,we made a few suggestions: First,we should increase government policy support,formulate policy texts,and guide primary schools and kindergartens to jointly school readiness;second,actively promote the scientific concept of school readiness education,so that each group forms a scientific and consistent concept of school readiness.In addition,it is necessary to strengthen communication between various groups,coordinate the organization of the responsibilities of each group,and jointly school readiness.
