The commonly used methods in kindergarten science education are

The commonly used methods in kindergarten science education are:

(A) observation method

1. Connotation

Observation refers to children's use of various senses in the process of direct contact with things, to understand things intuitively, vividly and concretely, to improve their comprehensive activity ability and to cultivate the habit of exploring the surrounding environment with their senses.

2. Type

(1) Observation of individual objects and phenomena

The observation of a single object and phenomenon means that children observe a specific natural object, natural phenomenon or scientific and technological product, and purposefully use a variety of senses to make direct contact with something or phenomenon around them. Understand its shape, characteristics, attributes and habits.

(2) Comparative observation

Comparative observation refers to children's observation and comparison of two or more natural objects or natural phenomena and scientific and technological products, so that children can understand natural objects more correctly, analyze and compare them, and lay the foundation for general classification.

(3) Long-term systematic observation

Long-term systematic observation refers to children's long-term observation of a natural object or natural phenomenon, which is characterized by long observation time and high requirements for the durability of children's observation.

Problems needing attention in children's science education

1, cultivate children's scientific emotion and ability to explore science. Teachers should not only look at the results, but also pay attention to the process of children's scientific exploration.

In other words, to enrich children's shallow scientific knowledge, we should pay more attention to cultivating children's love for science, stimulating children's interest in science, and exploring scientific abilities (observation ability, comparative ability, thinking ability, practical ability, innovation ability, cooperation ability, etc.). ), and cultivate children who are not afraid of difficulties and failure. The scientific quality of daring to challenge.

2. Cultivate children's expression and communication skills. Children's language expression ability determines their level of thinking development. exist

In kindergarten science education activities, teachers should not only guide children to feel the fun of science through practical operation, but also guide children to express the process and results of scientific practice in language, so that children's thinking can develop from concrete image thinking to abstract logical thinking, and practical experience can be transformed into language in children's consciousness, thus promoting the improvement of children's intelligence.

When children explore, think and try a problem in depth, and have a profound understanding and experience, they will have a desire to express and communicate. Children will express their exploration process and discovery through thinking and appropriate language, which not only increases their understanding of things, but also experiences the joy of success.

Because children have language communication with their peers, they will share and be inspired. In the affirmation, questioning, discussion and controversy of others, children keep thinking and gradually move towards correct cognition. Therefore, teachers should give children a free and relaxed language environment when implementing science education, which is an important part of science education.
