Reviewing activity points to the children's early experience.It is an activity type that can help children understand their own experiences,so that the experience can be continuously developed.It is an important way to promote children's development.Information technology has the characteristics of not being limited by time and space and being highly interactive.It is a way to improve early childhood education.Literature analysis based on the two clues of "Application of Information Technology in Kindergartens" and "Kindergarten Reviewing Activities" shows that domestic and foreign studies have recognized the operability and important value of information technology in the field of preschool education.Under the “plan-do-review” system,review activities were conducted.However,the study of the combination of information technology with the kindergarten day-to-day life and the review activities not under the High/Scope curriculum system in kindergartens should be further deepened.the theory of "living education" and constructivism can be used as an important theoretical basis for the conduct of review activities.The analysis of the characteristics and value of review activities and the purpose of applying information technology in them is helpful for the subsequent research.The questionnaire,based on a sample of 633,showed that,overall,98 percent of teachers considered review activities to be at least important,with 89.7percent of teachers conducting review activities,but they were not conducted frequently and generally lasted 10 minutes.Based on interviews and non-participatory observations,it was found that in addition to the above,there was a lack of reflection on the part of teachers,teachers' perceptions that the review was optional,too much teacher ownership and a lack of teacher to child and child to child interaction.Among them,the application of information technology has the monotony of the class information environment and the ineffective application.In addition,there are inconsistencies in teachers' attitudes towards the use of information technology and its infrequency in cooperative classes.Based on the survey results,combined with the specific problems of the cooperating class and the characteristics of information technology,an action research on the application of information technology in the review activities of 5-6 years old children was explored and carried out.The results showed that the use of information technology improved the problems in the review activities,among which,more importantly,promoted the social development of young children and the awakening and development of self-awareness,and promoted the improvement of information literacy of teachers.In addition to this,the way in which information technology is used in different types of review activities is also analysed.Overall,it needs to be emphasized that information technology should be used as an adjunct to support children in integrating their experiences and constructing meaning in their lives,whether they are actively reviewed by young children or appropriately guided by teachers.In order to better use information technology to improve the review activities of 5-6years old children,first of all,we need to improve the information environment of the class and enhance the information literacy among teachers of 5-6 years old.In the process of application,we must pay attention to grasping three principles,namely the principle of auxiliaryness,the principle of flexibility,and the suitability In principle,the most fundamental thing is to pay full attention to children's learning and development.
