Research On The Cultivation Of Scientific Inquiry Ability Of Large-class Children Based On Forest Education

In the history of human development,forest environment has promoted human evolution,but influenced by many factors,nowadays children are more and more used to indoor environment,gradually losing the instinctive purport of being close to nature,and there is a more obvious "natural deficiency syndrome".The guide to learning and development for children aged 3-6(2012)points out that inquiry is not only the goal of scientific learning for children,but also the way of scientific learning for children.The real things and phenomena in nature and life are the vivid contents of children's scientific exploration.It is the core of children's scientific learning to stimulate their interest in inquiry,experience the process of inquiry and develop their preliminary inquiry ability.However,in the current practice of preschool education and teaching,children's access to nature is significantly insufficient,and the scientific inquiry activities carried out by kindergartens also seem to be mere formality.This study aims to cultivate the scientific inquiry ability of large class children through forest education activities,based on the educational theories of "constructivism theory","Recent Development Zone and Scaffolding Teaching","learning from doing",etc.,with action research as the main research method,goes deep into B kindergarten of Luoyang city,selects 12 large class children as research objects,and cooperates with kindergarten teachers to design and organize Carry out four forest education activities,observe,record,discuss and reflect on the knowledge,performance and perception of children and teachers in the activities,improve and perfect the research design accordingly,and test the effectiveness of the activities circularly.The results of this study provide examples and evidence for the effective implementation of forest education activities to cultivate the scientific inquiry ability of large class children,in order to arouse the attention of the majority of preschool education workers on Forest Education,and continue to explore the positive significance and practical ways of Forest Education for children's development.
