What is the connection between \”young and young\”?

Currently, the enrollment process for kindergarten to primary school has ended. During this time, some parents have reported that they have received advertisements for transition from “younger to primary school” in many parenting groups, such as “keep up on first-grade knowledge points and easily enter school”, easily learn 2000+ Chinese characters, etc. As children grow up, will they fall behind if they don’t jump ahead? This has confused many parents. In the parenting group of parents from kindergarten to primary school, it is not uncommon to see links to advertisements for admission from kindergarten to primary school. In an advertisement, one organization did not hesitate to distort the facts to create anxiety about \”Why do we need to connect kindergarten to primary school?\” by claiming, \”First-grade teachers no longer read the questions. Do you dare to let your children run into school naked?\” The purpose is to promote their kindergarten connection class. . The reporter found that in these summer kindergarten bridging classes, the learning projects cover the main knowledge points of the first grade of primary school such as arithmetic, pinyin, literacy, writing, etc., and some are even equipped with comprehensive subject tests. On some shopping websites, marketing slogans such as \”A must-have for the summer transition from kindergarten to primary school – 9 weeks to lead the first grade\” and \”Countdown to kindergarten transition to 99 days\” also stimulate the nerves of parents. Whether it is an official account or website, slogans such as \”Prepare early for transition from kindergarten to primary school, and the stress of starting school will be twice as low\” has given parents a sense of urgency from kindergarten to primary school. Ms. Zhu, a parent in Huai\’an, Jiangsu: When picking up her children after school, she receives many flyers for transition to \”younger primary school\”. If they are not admitted to transition classes, their children will not be able to keep up with the rhythm of the class, and they will feel a little panicked. Ms. Zhang, a parent in Pingxiang, Jiangxi: On many live broadcast platforms, including some public accounts, it is often said that the transition stage from early childhood to primary school is the most critical. If you don’t study in advance, you will be left behind by other children, and you will inevitably worry. Ms. Han, a parent in Nanjing, Jiangsu: Our child will enter the first grade in September, and I am already applying for him to be admitted to the \”Young Primary School\” transition, because many parents are applying, so I want to buy myself some peace of mind. Zhou Yushu, a parent in Dezhou, Shandong: Many children around me have now finished learning Pinyin, and their literacy skills are quite high in all aspects, including math addition and subtraction. Ms. Feng, a parent in Taiyuan, Shanxi: When your child reaches first grade, other children will be able to do it but your own child will not. There will definitely be a sense of gap. The teaching methods for the connection between kindergarten and primary school are inappropriate or counterproductive. As early as 2021, the Ministry of Education issued the \”Guidance on Vigorously Promoting the Scientific Connection between Kindergartens and Primary Schools\”, proposing that off-campus training institutions shall not train preschool children in violation of regulations, and primary schools must adhere to the curriculum Standard zero-start teaching. But some parents are still worried. The saying \”Don\’t let your children lose at the starting line\” makes many parents extremely anxious. So, will \”getting started early\” help their children when they enter primary school? Tian Guoying, the principal of the Primary School Affiliated to the Medical University, told reporters that over the years, they have been exploring connections with kindergartens. In addition to kindergarten study tours, they also often conduct teaching research with kindergarten teachers and hold discussions and exchanges with kindergarten parents, with the purpose of unifying their understanding of Beijing. Tian Guoying, Principal of the Primary School Affiliated to the Medical University: We start from scratch (teaching) from the first grade. The first-grade teachers may also have such troubles. There are various \”papers\” between parents, for example, asking him to write the first-grade things. Finish studying (in advance),He thinks that I have already learned this, so I don’t need to listen carefully. But starting from the first grade, children\’s study habits, especially listening habits, are very important. For example, in mathematics, the teacher will teach him arithmetic. The teaching design of each lesson taught by the teacher has a knowledge system structure. If the child is raised too high, it may cause the child to \”stupid\”. What needs to be \”connected\” for \”young-to-young\” connection? In fact, letting children \”jump ahead\” in kindergarten is not conducive to cultivating children\’s listening habits after they enter elementary school. So why do so many parents sign up their children for relevant courses? Some teachers reported that some parents\’ anxiety was exacerbated because they did not understand the actual teaching situation in first grade or heard about it from hearsay. Li Aitong, a Chinese teacher at the primary school affiliated to Beijing Medical University: Many parents think that after these few classes, Pinyin will no longer be taught. However, after the first semester is completed, and even by the end of the second semester, every Chinese class will Review and correct without being particularly anxious. During the interview, some experts who have long studied children\’s learning and development also said that according to the layout of the teaching materials, by the end of the first semester of first grade, one can only learn addition and subtraction within 20 in mathematics. As a result, some training institutions, in order to attract attention, claim that one month of lessons can For students to be proficient in addition and subtraction within 100, this is obviously contrary to the rules of children\’s acceptance of knowledge. In addition, under the zero-start teaching in primary school, early advancement means repetitive learning, which undoubtedly squeezes out the time that children should have free exploration. In fact, after entering primary school, children’s habits, interests, and emotional development needs are much higher than those in advance. Knowledge reserve is more important. Liang Huijuan, a professor at Tianjin Normal University: When entering primary school, basically the end of November and no later than December at most, the scores of these children (who learned in advance) have already been evened out. For normal children, those who have not learned first grade textbook knowledge in advance are very willing to listen and follow the teacher, so their learning engagement, concentration, listening ability, task awareness, and learning quality are better than those who have learned in advance. of. Most educators actually do not approve of parents “jumping the gun” on knowledge in advance. What do children need to connect with more? Li Yan, Vice Principal of the Guiyang Branch of Beijing No. 2 Experimental Primary School: Because classes in primary schools last for 40 minutes, during the holidays, parents (should) do some training to accompany their children, such as attention and concentration training. Li Aitong, Chinese teacher at the Primary School Affiliated to Beijing Medical University: We should pay more attention to the cultivation of children\’s comprehensive abilities, such as how to communicate with others, how to express one\’s thoughts, and how to share one\’s emotions. I think these are also very important in collective life. Wang Xin, a kindergarten teacher in Chishui City, Guizhou: Let him have a desire to go to elementary school, have a basic social common sense and rules and etiquette, including organizing his personal belongings, be able to act independently, and have early writing skills Pen holding posture. \”Kindergarten\” joint teaching and research to help scientific connection. As educators say, scientific connection between kindergarten and primary school is actually more about the connection of good behavioral habits, psychological quality, learning ability and other qualities. And in order to help children become moreTo adapt well to primary school life, the Ministry of Education issued guidance in 2021. In response to the long-standing problems of separation of kindergarten and primary school education, weak connection awareness, excessive emphasis on knowledge preparation, and imperfect connection mechanisms, the role of kindergartens and primary schools was put forward. A series of targeted and important measures. At the same time, a pilot program for linking kindergarten to primary school was launched. Walking into the Fangzhuang No. 1 Kindergarten in Fengtai District, Beijing, the reporter noticed that from the calendar wall, weather forecast statistics table, attendance sign-in book, monthly event records, to independent game representation records, etc., the environment creation of the kindergarten contains A lot of content that connects young children to primary school. He Yanhua, principal of Fangzhuang No. 1 Kindergarten in Fengtai District, Beijing: Preschool writing preparation, this kind of bridging education from early childhood to primary school, is essential for children, but we don’t teach it rigidly. The Tianzi grid book is used as a sign in This tool allows children to record dates and names every day, develop their pen control skills, and tell the story of the game they draw every day to the teacher, which can exercise their oral expression skills, including their thinking skills. Director He introduced that in July 2018, the Ministry of Education issued the \”Notice on Carrying out Special Management Work on the \”Primary Schoolization\” of Kindergartens\” to launch a special management of the issue of \”primary schoolization\” in kindergartens. However, some kindergartens not only avoid pinyin and Chinese characters when creating their environment, they also dare not show up the grid notebooks and pencils needed for pre-writing preparation, let alone active connection between young and primary school students. In her view, this is also a misunderstanding of the policy. He Yanhua, director of Fangzhuang No. 1 Kindergarten in Fengtai District, Beijing: It is to prohibit the kind of educational methods and educational behaviors that encourage children to learn multiplication and division, such as asking children to learn multiplication and division. These are definitely not successful, but I think it cannot be absolute, like There is a child in our class who feels that mathematics is a kind of fun for him, and our teachers also need to support him. In addition to Beijing, many places are also actively exploring ways to connect young children with practical science. In Luxi County, Jiangxi Province, the Education Bureau regularly organizes parents to visit kindergartens to observe children\’s games, and organizes experts to educate parents about the dangers of \”primary school-style teaching\” so that parents can understand and recognize the value of games. In Guiyang, the Third Experimental Kindergarten of Nanming District and the Guiyang branch of Beijing Second Experimental Primary School have paired up to carry out \”two-way teaching and research on kindergarten-to-primary connection\”, which not only allows the kindergarten to better understand the needs of primary schools, but also allows the primary school to combine game activities familiar to the kindergarten with Integration of lower grade teaching plans. Xu Jue, a teacher at the Guiyang branch of Beijing No. 2 Experimental Primary School: Our primary school also advocates game-based teaching, so that they can have hands-on skills, play games, and do rhythmic exercises in class, and learn knowledge easily. He Li, principal of the No. 3 Experimental Kindergarten in Nanming District, Guiyang City: We use relatively unified music during a 40-minute class period in primary schools to create environment and hints for children. In addition, we visited primary schools twice and invited first-grade brothers and sisters to kindergarten to answer questions for the children in the upper class and help them make a smooth transition. \”Young Xiao\” effectively connects children from kindergarten to elementary school without restricting their growth. It is a natural extension and transition of growth. Effective kindergarten-to-school connection can build a bridge between kindergarten and primary school, helping childrenGet through it more smoothly. Starting in 2021, the Ministry of Education has begun to deploy a mechanism to build a scientific connection between kindergarten and primary school. Primary schools and kindergartens in some places have also begun two-way exploration. We hope that more and more schools will take action. The scientific transition from kindergarten to elementary school is an organic integration of many aspects such as body and mind, life, society and learning. As parents, in the process of children transitioning from kindergarten to elementary school, we should pay more attention to the development of children\’s habits and psychological preparation, and It does not simply emphasize early learning and intensive training of primary school knowledge and skills, nor should it disrupt the pace of children\’s growth because of adult anxiety or external interference.
