| In March 2019,the Ministry of Education issued the Notice on the Pilot Work of Kindergartens with Football Characteristics(hereinafter referred to as the Notice),which states that it is expected that through the national selection of kindergartens with football characteristics,the leading and exemplary role of kindergartens with characteristics will be brought into play to drive the development of the cause of early childhood football,marking the official step towards the substantive development of early childhood football in China.The development of football activities in the widely established kindergartens with football characteristics requires the guidance of a systematic and scientific curriculum.At present,China still lacks a systematic and holistic study on the construction of football for young children,and has not yet formed a complete curriculum teaching and corresponding guidance supporting teaching materials system,so the scientific development of football for young children is not basically guaranteed.In the course of the development of early childhood football,the government,kindergartens,families and social organisations in China’s urban areas have all begun to realise the unique significance of early childhood football,presenting a situation in which multiple subjects are developing side by side.In Chengdu,there are many practices and experiences of integrating the resources of kindergartens,families and social organisations at the educational level.However,in the process of building a football programme for young children,these resources are still isolated and developed separately.Therefore,it is worth studying how to transfer the experience of integrating resources at the educational level to the development of early childhood football,integrate the resources of the government,kindergartens,social organisations and families,and make use of the advantages of each body to build a scientific early childhood football curriculum.In this paper,we take the integration of the resources of government,kindergarten,society and family as the object of this study.By integrating the resources of government,kindergarten,society and family in the early childhood football curriculum education,we build a complete early childhood football curriculum in collaboration with the four parties to meet the curriculum guidance needs of kindergarten football activities.This study adopted research methods such as literature,questionnaires,interviews,fieldwork and mathematical statistics to draw the following conclusions.(1)Government: The policy support for the development of early childhood football is in place,and it is committed to the widespread development of early childhood football,but there is a lack of detailed policies to guide the early childhood football curriculum.(2)In schools,there is a lack of teachers who are knowledgeable about early childhood football;teachers are not yet well aware of the basic concepts and objectives of the early childhood football curriculum,and are unable to form a systematic and scientific system of content,implementation and evaluation of the early childhood football curriculum.(3)Social aspect: the community can only provide football coaches as human resources,and the use of community resources and social media resources is not yet complete.(4)Family: Parents are more supportive of their children’s participation in the football programme,but are more concerned about safety issues in the process of participation.Second,combining the advantages of the resources provided by the government,kindergartens,society and families in the early childhood football education in Chengdu,and integrating the existing resources of the four parties,we propose that in the construction of the early childhood football curriculum,the basic collaborative path should be led by government resources,kindergarten resources to implement the football curriculum,family resources to participate in the practice of early childhood football curriculum and social resources to supplement and assist.The basic collaborative pathway should be led by government resources,kindergarten resources to implement the football curriculum,family resources to participate in the practice of the football curriculum and social resources to supplement.Combining the theoretical foundations of pedagogy,early childhood psychology and early childhood sport theory,and following the laws of physical and mental development and needs of early childhood,the researcher constructs an early childhood football curriculum,the core elements of which include curriculum philosophy,curriculum objectives,curriculum content,curriculum implementation and evaluation.Fourth,through two rounds of practical action,the early childhood football curriculum initiative has been further updated and improved,while kindergartens,parents and experts have a high degree of acceptance of the curriculum,in line with the overall demand for the early childhood football curriculum,and the early childhood football curriculum is suitable for implementation in kindergartens.At the same time,the concept of early childhood football has been further disseminated through extensive publicity on the Internet. |
