Action Research On How Traditional Handicraft Activities Can Promote Children's Learning Qualit

Traditional handicrafts is an important part of China’s excellent traditional culture,and are cultural symbols and crystallized wisdom that carry the emotions and beliefs of working people in the long history,with distinct operability and liveliness,which can easily trigger children’s interest in inquiry.Through traditional handicraft activities,kindergartens allow children to appreciate,feel,express and create,which have an important impact on cultivating children’s curiosity,willpower,creativity and other learning qualities.However,in the educational reality,there are problems that the design and promotion of traditional handicraft education activities in kindergartens are not deep enough,and the impact on children’s learning quality development is still shallow.For this reason,it is necessary to study the integration of traditional handicrafts into kindergarten educational activities to promote the development of children’s learning qualities in various aspects.In this study,32 children in the kindergarten class of Qingdao G Kindergarten were used as the subjects of this study,and the traditional handicraft education activities represented by tie-dye handicraft were studied for four months.The study attempted to find out the problems of the current traditional handicraft activities in kindergarten through observation and investigation in the pre-action,and to discuss with the action group teachers about the plan to carry out the activities in depth,following the idea of "planning-implementation-observation-reflection-replan".Finally,we summarized and analyzed the effective implementation of traditional handicraft activities in kindergartens by combining specific design and implementation cases.The study is divided into four main parts as follows.First,in the pre-action stage,we learned about the development of traditional handicraft activities in kindergartens through observation and interviews,and found that teachers’ ability to create handicraft activities was insufficient and the activities did not have enough influence on children’s learning quality development.After conferring and discussing with the cooperating teachers,the core issue to be addressed in this action was determined: to stimulate children’s emotions towards traditional handicrafts and to promote the development of their learning qualities.Secondly,according to the core issues to be addressed by the actions and the actual findings in the course of the actions,three rounds of actions focusing on and cultivating children’s learning qualities in the dimensions of curiosity and interest,persistence and concentration,reflection and explanation,and imagination and creativity were carried out in turn.In the three rounds of a total of nine activities that were continuously planned,implemented,reflected on and adjusted,the actions were gradually revised and improved to promote the development of children’s learning qualities.Once again,after three months of action,the results of the study showed that traditional craft activities had a catalytic effect on the development of learning qualities in young children.The children had a significant overall development of learning qualities;they were more curious,enthusiastically engaged and proactive in exploring the activities;they were more focused in the activities and made a conscious effort to persevere;they were happy to explain their creations and took the initiative to reflect on adjustments;they were good at overcoming setbacks,their imagination and creativity improved and their work was unique.Finally,we summarize and reflect on the study based on the results of the action and make educational suggestions: Create a "prepared environment" to stimulate children’s curiosity about traditional handicrafts;Always pay attention to and follow children’s interest points,protect children’s problem awareness;In the rich activities and scientific guidance to cultivate children’s persistence and concentration;Fully infiltrate and promote handicraft activities,have a profound impact on the development of children’s learning quality;Guide children to conduct self-reflection and evaluation on handmade behaviors and works;Enrich children’s knowledge and experience,set up problem situations to encourage children’s imagination and creation.
