The Present Situation Analysis and Optimization Measures of Kindergarten Labor Education from the Perspective of Returning to Life
Abstract
This study is guided by the Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Comprehensively Strengthening Labor Education in Primary and Secondary Schools in the New Era, combined with the relevant requirements of the Guidelines for Kindergarten Education (Trial), from the perspective of returning to life. The status quo of kindergarten labor education was analyzed in depth. Through systematic review and practical observation, it is found that there are some problems in the implementation of kindergarten labor education, which are mainly manifested in the lack of policy basis, the lack of professional teachers, the imperfect curriculum system, and the low support of parents. This study believes that labor is an integral part of life. Labor education should return to life, guide children to understand the world with its practicality, foundation, and comprehensiveness, form a positive labor quality, improve aesthetic ability, and lay a good foundation for the connection between preschool children. Based on this, this paper puts forward the strategy of optimizing kindergarten labor education, including integrating kindergarten labor education into life to cultivate children’s labor habits, combining family life to expand children’s labor experience, and connecting community life to enhance labor cognition, so as to provide operable ideas and suggestions for the development of kindergarten labor education.
