The importance of learning for young children is self-evident.Previous studies mainly understood the learning of young children from the perspective of adults,and believed that games were the main way for young children to learn.However,how do young children understand their own learning? Are the games created by teachers for young children regarded by young children as learning? How do young children distinguish between learning and playing? Thinking about these issues makes the author want to listen to children's views on their own learning and understand children's learning perspectives from the perspective of young children.This study adopted the observation method,interview method,photo introduction method,work analysis method,etc.Taking 26 children in Class C,J Park,N City as the research object,we will understand the children's understanding of their learning in kindergarten.The study found the following conclusions:1.Young children already have a basic understanding of their learning in kindergarten.Understanding of learning connotation mainly points to specific learning activities,learning content,and own learning status.In terms of learning activities,the main focus is on collective teaching activities.In terms of learning content,they attach importance to learning knowledge and skills,and emphasize that they must "use their brains" and "sit well" when studying.The learning methods in children's understanding are mainly "observation" and "listening".2.When recognizing specific learning behaviors,young children mainly use “learning gains”,“ Learning status”,and “learning for teachers” as the reference standards,emphasizing the results of learning,the status of learning and the importance of teachers in learning effect.3.When faced with the relationship between playing and learning,on the one hand,young children think that play and learning are "split","play and learning are two different things";on the other hand,when faced with specific play behaviors,some children It is believed that playing and learning can also be "fused",and playing can also be learning under certain conditions.4.Young children generally recognize the importance of learning,and some young children have also germinated the concept of lifelong learning.However,when children express their learning motivations,they include both spontaneously generated motivations that point to their own interests and growth expectations.They also include learning motivations under the influence of adult superposition,which points to preparation for the future and submission to external intervention.5.This study uses Vygotsky 's social and cultural theory to analyze the factors that affect children 's perspectives on learning.They are the adjustment of the object environment,that is,the daily life and rest system,the introduction of game materials and the application of multimedia technologies;The adjustment of important others,that is,the words and deeds of kindergarten teachers,parents and peers;the adjustment of one's own experience,including the existing life experience and existing cognitive experience.Based on the above conclusions,the author makes suggestions from three levels.First,for the object environment,promoting flexible work and rest,providing rich levels of game materials,and scientifically using multimedia.Second,for kindergarten teachers,it is necessary to enrich the form of activity organization,pay attention to process evaluation,pay attention to the children 's existing experience and individual differences,and develop the child 's meta cognitive ability.Third,for parents of young children,it is necessary to update their educational concepts and improve their own parenting methods.
