Advantages and disadvantages of children's nursery rhymes

Nursery rhymes are the voice of nature and the soul of the nation. They have been handed down from generation to generation for thousands of years and are the summary of people's production and life experience. Its manifestations are various, such as cross talk, tongue twister, counting songs, quiz songs and so on. , which mainly reflects children's life and interests. Every sentence rhymes and is very popular with children. 1999 version of Ci Hai explains nursery rhymes as follows: "A kind of children's literature, which is generally called children's ballads together with nursery rhymes. Short form, concise language and clear meaning. Suitable for children to recite, some children write and sing, and some adults intend to make them. " Therefore, nursery rhymes have important inheritance from the historical perspective and the form of formation, as well as from its literary orientation and value.

In 2004, China Private Education Preschool was investigated in Zhejiang. It asked two questions in writing: "Children's songs in modern children's minds" and "Children's songs with the deepest memory in adults", and found that the answers were almost the same. Speaking of children's songs, children are still talking about classic old songs from more than 30 years ago, such as "Little Swallow", "Let's Paddle" and "Listen to Mom's Memories". The children are at a loss about the latest works. The long and familiar singing seems to have opened the distance between contemporary children and real life, and the classic nursery rhymes have a fault. Children's nursery rhymes should be at least easy to understand, so that children can get knowledge education, interest education, literature education, aesthetic education and moral education in beautiful melody. Obviously, this is an unbearable outdated old ballad, not to mention any aesthetic or emotional voice. Therefore, calling for new nursery rhymes to replace these "eternal classics" has become the common hope of society, schools and even families, a possibility for our children to grow up healthily, and a need for teachers and students to develop themselves.

"Chinese New Curriculum Standard" points out: "Chinese curriculum should pay attention to interdisciplinary learning, so that students can broaden their horizons, improve their learning efficiency, and initially acquire the Chinese practical ability needed for modernization." With the deepening of the new curriculum reform, people pay more and more attention to the influence of traditional culture on students and the cultivation of students' Chinese literacy. "Chinese New Curriculum Standard" also points out: "Read nursery rhymes, nursery rhymes and simple ancient poems, expand your imagination, get a preliminary emotional experience and feel the beauty of language." Therefore, we believe that the combination of Chinese and nursery rhymes teaching in primary schools can make Chinese more interesting, make students more nervous, make teachers more knowledgeable and better promote students of Chinese and nursery rhymes.

In 2006, our school launched a national moral education project "Let healthy nursery rhymes grow up with children", which built a nursery rhyme sky for teachers and students, especially in the combination of Chinese and nursery rhymes. Based on the concept of inheriting and developing, innovating and improving, we take "curriculum reform" as the direction, "Chinese teaching" as the standard, and "developing nursery rhymes" as our responsibility.

1, definition of related concepts

2. Definition of this topic.

The construction and practice of integrating nursery rhymes into Chinese teaching: based on the nature of the subject, students' needs and the development of teachers and students, relying on teachers in our school to carry out practical research in school and implement specific methods, forms and strategies to achieve the purpose of inheriting excellent culture, cultivating students' Chinese literacy, improving students' spiritual realm and optimizing humanistic quality, creating a growing space for children with "diversified development, distinctive personality, happiness and harmony" and constructing "practical reflection, effective exploration and harmonious coexistence" for teachers.

Third, the theoretical basis

(A) children's cognitive law

According to Piaget's theory, cognitive development can be divided into four stages: perceptual movement, pre-operation, concrete operation and formal operation. Primary school students are in the transition stage from the previous operation stage to the specific operation stage. At this stage, students' perceptions begin to be internalized into representations or images, especially with the development of language, representations are used to replace external things more and more frequently, and an abstract concept is initially formed. However, words cannot represent abstract concepts, and thinking cannot be separated from the perception of specific things. Students feel every novel discovery with great interest, but often they can only express their curiosity about the world in a few words. At this stage, students' thinking changes from one-way thinking to multi-dimensional thinking, from irreversible thinking to reversible thinking, no longer limited to static appearances, and begins to realize the transformation action; Consider the problem from self-centered to self-centered; Non-logical reasoning has become more and more concrete, and this transitional stage is the latest development field of psychology. Nursery rhymes are short and charming, which not only conforms to students' cognitive rules, but also adapts to the recent development area of language, making them walk in front of language development and finally reach a new development level by crossing the recent development area.

(B) children's psychological theory

Children in primary school are naive and imaginative, which is the basis of nursery rhymes teaching. In fact, it is in line with children's psychological characteristics to read the texts of primary school Chinese textbooks with nursery rhymes: First, children are naturally curious. Children's nursery rhyme education can appeal to their own interests to the greatest extent and stimulate their interest in learning. Second, children's imagination develops earlier. Nursery rhyme education can make use of its advantages to develop children's potential imagination into creative thinking ability. Thirdly, the language of nursery rhymes is refined and beautiful, which plays an irreplaceable role in standardizing children's language, purifying students' language environment and promoting primary school students' Chinese learning.

Plato, an ancient Greek scholar, said that "beauty is good". It can turn beauty into beauty, cultivate noble sentiment, cultivate sentiment with emotion, stimulate moral emotion, unify literature and morality, and shape a sound personality. Aesthetic education in China is the education of culture and visual emotion.

Fourth, the research status of similar topics at home and abroad

Liu Xiaodong, a famous preschool education expert, once said: Children's songs (also known as nursery rhymes) are children's "spiritual games". Foreign countries have always attached great importance to the inheritance and cultivation of nursery rhymes and adopted various measures to carry out nursery rhymes teaching. Japan's kindergartens and primary schools specially organize children to learn to sing ancient nursery rhymes, while Britain has incorporated nursery rhymes as a formal knowledge into enlightenment textbooks. In 200 1 year, China issued the Outline of Citizen's Moral Construction, which clearly put forward that national culture should be the content of youth education. In 2006, the Ministry of Education issued a document asking primary and secondary schools to learn from Beijing's experience and actively carry out activities to popularize new nursery rhymes and children's poems. The above activities reflect that all countries and all walks of life in our country can realize the important role of nursery rhymes in students' growth, and can take appropriate measures to mobilize learners' enthusiasm for entering nursery rhymes, stimulate their understanding and interest in nursery rhymes, not only promote the development of learners' language, but also promote the cultivation of civilized manners, give children a healthy childhood and promote the inheritance of national culture.

We have adopted the method of combining Chinese teaching with vivid nursery rhymes to fully mobilize students' learning enthusiasm and effectively improve Chinese literacy.

Jin Bo, a famous writer of children's literature, believes that the new nursery rhymes respect children's aesthetic laws, open up their artistic creativity and give them a sense of accomplishment. Children's art writers should be aware of their responsibilities, educate children imperceptibly, and make this education popular.
