Zhenfang Liu, Dan Suen · 2016
Preschool education is an important part of basic education, the problem of preschool education informationization should be taken into account by educators.This article aims to investigate and research whether learning or growth should be the orientation of preschool education, thus to explore the problem of preschool education based on children's growth and information technology applications based on the orientation of children's growth. Dilemma facing preschool Education in China: Orientation of Learning or GrowthGame-playing is the basic orientation in traditional preschool education, which is similar to growth orientation and later transformed into learning orientation with the wave of examination-oriented education, and now preschool education in China is learning-oriented.However, findings of recent preschool research support the orientation of growth.Chinese preschool education requires a revolutionary change to follow up with the pattern of growth of child and to wisely choose the orientation of growth and development for children [1].It is worrying that the amount of learning-oriented kindergarten can be said to be overwhelming in China.This kind of preschool education will inevitably pursue so-called good grades at the cost of growth and living of children, which obviously has the order reversed.Is it worthwhile for preschool education to get the good results but abandon the healthy growth of preschool children?Therefore, growth orientation should be replaced by learning orientation.The growth orientation takes children's daily life as a way to conduct education, and takes the growth of children as its main educational purpose and task.Although preschool learning still exists in preschool education and even a lot of learning contents are similar with learning orientation, there are major differences in their status and proportion.The growth orientation of preschool education is the root way to promote the growth and cultivation of human, which pays much attention to the inside growth of children, namely physical and mental development of children.So there is a significant divergence between learning orientation and growth orientation in learning objectives, educational content, educational methods and educational evaluation. Growth Orientation: The Direction of Preschool Education Reform in ChinaGame-playing is the Fundamental Form of Kindergarten Curriculum.Main purpose of preschool education is to provide a healthy growth for children, game is the basic form and main content of kindergarten curriculum.It is children's nature to play and playing is their original form of life.The so-called generative teaching as its essence is to respect and consciously use the original lives of children, in which children themselves are unaware, free and addicted into self-exploration activities.In fact, it is precisely what teachers should do to transform children's desire of self-activity to educational mission, not allowing unrestrained freedom.So it is bound to be a higher requirement for preschool education.Kindergarten Curriculum should be integrated into Daily Life among Children.Life is an education, education is life itself.Kindergarten curriculum should be integrated in children's daily life.Consciously respect the lives of children in the natural state is a premise of the original ecology of 4th International Conference on Sensors, Measurement and Intelligent Materials (ICSMIM 2015)
