Briefly describe the concept of kindergarten curriculum

First, the meaning of kindergarten curriculum

At present, the dominant definition of kindergarten curriculum in China is activity theory, that is, "kindergarten curriculum is a means to achieve the goal of kindergarten education, and it is the sum of various activities to help children gain beneficial learning experience and promote their all-round and harmonious development of body and mind." This definition shows the whole content of kindergarten curriculum in a broad sense, that is, all activities of children in the park belong to the category of kindergarten curriculum.

Second, the characteristics of kindergarten curriculum

(1) Kindergarten curriculum is integrated into daily life. The object of kindergarten education is preschool children over 3 years old. At this stage, children begin to learn to take care of themselves, learn to develop good living and hygiene habits, and learn to take care of themselves. But they can't do without the care of adults, especially children in small classes, and they need to rely on adults in their lives. Therefore, children's eating, washing and taking a nap in the garden has become an important part of kindergarten teachers' work, and the care of children has also become an important part of kindergarten curriculum. The activities carried out by children in the park include the objectives and contents of the curriculum, and the kindergarten curriculum is integrated into various activities and links in daily life, including group activities, group activities, optional activities, transition and finishing, eating, washing, taking a nap, entering (leaving) the park, etc.

(2) Games are the basic form of kindergarten curriculum, and games are the basic activities in kindergarten education. Therefore, games are the basic form of kindergarten curriculum, and kindergartens comprehensively educate children through games. The basic form of education and teaching in primary and secondary schools is attending classes, and classroom teaching is the main channel to implement all-round quality education for students, which is another feature that distinguishes kindergarten courses from primary and secondary schools.

(3) Based on children's direct experience Kindergarten curriculum is based on children's direct experience, so that children can gain direct experience. This is because children's understanding of things in the environment is mainly through the senses, that is, they see the shape of objects with their eyes, listen to sounds with their ears, taste with their tongues, smell with their noses, and feel the temperature and texture of their skin. The way of thinking is mainly the concrete thinking of images. Therefore, it is easier for children to really understand things only by touching things and operating them through their senses. Kindergarten curriculum should actively play the role of children's senses, so that they can learn correctly by using vision, feeling, taste, smell and touch.
