1, which created a brand-new learning environment and activity atmosphere and improved children's interest in learning.
The "Outline" clearly stipulates that "the teaching activities in kindergartens should pay attention to comprehensiveness, interest and activity, and integrate education into life and games." Traditional teaching activities Although our teachers can also do a lot of pre-class preparation, show children pictures, photos, objects and other teaching tools, and deepen children's knowledge and understanding of various things, things and phenomena, the application of multimedia courseware brings more profound sensory stimulation to children with its unique expressive force and appeal, and opens up a broader space for kindergartens to implement centralized teaching activities. Bright and vivid pictures, soft and pleasant music and timely and appropriate language tips help children to concretize, visualize and dynamically abstract concepts in pleasant operation and learning activities. For example, the rainbow is a natural phenomenon that children love to see, but this natural phenomenon can only be produced under certain weather conditions, and it can't be seen at any time. Before this teaching activity, our teacher used the computer network to inquire about videos related to rainbows, and showed them to the children through the projector during the activity, which increased the children's intuitive feelings and made the real rainbow phenomenon leave the most beautiful first impression in their minds. In the expansion activities, the teacher made a rainbow bridge, allowing the children to arrange the seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple smoothly, so that the children not only knew the colors, but also deepened their impression of the rainbow. Teachers in each class keep teaching AIDS (pictures, cartoons, video clips, courseware, etc. ) All kinds of teaching activities are collected, arranged and produced in a unified way, so as to accumulate the educational resources that can be enjoyed by kindergarten teaching activities, and ensure that our teachers can use information technology to break through the limitations of time and space and successfully complete various teaching tasks.
2. Meet the needs of children's independent learning and cultivate their innovative spirit.
Kindergarten children's self-regulated learning is very difficult, which is restricted by age characteristics and understanding ability. The effective integration of information technology education and kindergarten teaching activities provides a good learning interface for children. Animation, sound and images stimulate children's senses and stimulate their interest and desire for active learning. Our teacher has also changed the previous practice that computers are concentrated in the computer room and only accessible to children during computer activities, and distributed small computers operated by children to every class in kindergarten and put them in the activity area. Teachers arrange different computer game activities according to the different contents of teaching activities, so as to facilitate children to operate freely on the computer during regional activities, better do the expansion exercises of concentrated teaching activities, and make it possible for people to interact freely. 3-6 years old is a critical period for children's intellectual development. Children's imagination is extremely rich, and they have strong innovation and creative potential. The application of information technology education means conforms to the requirements of children's growth and provides them with opportunities for thinking, operation and innovation. For example, the game operation "Home of the Little Mouse", children need to design and build different shapes of homes for the little mouse with various graphics. Children can not stick to the traditional concept of architectural modeling, but combine and superimpose various graphics to create a unique new home for the mouse.
3. Cultivate children's good personality characteristics and promote the healthy development of children's sociality.
When children with childlike designs were assigned to classes by computers for the first time, children flocked to them and the normal order of activities was completely disrupted. Teachers in each class can discuss solutions to problems with children and sign an agreement to protect the computers in the class. For the activity time in the centralized area, according to the list of personnel on duty, two people will board the computer each time, and each operation will take 15 minutes. Free activities in the morning and evening, each time 1 people on the computer, each operation 10 minutes. Although there were some disputes between children during the period when the regulations were just implemented, with the reasonable adjustment and timely guidance of teachers, the phenomenon of grabbing seats and delaying time has disappeared. Children can consciously restrain themselves, supervise others and obey the rules, which has become the knowledge of class children. Even if there is a little friction occasionally, the child can solve it smoothly. Secondly, some learning contents taught by teachers to children can always be vividly displayed on the big TV screen, and children are instantly attracted, and their learning concentration is constantly improved invisibly. Thirdly, teachers should adjust the process of teaching activities for individual children at any time according to their own development level and ability, and teach students in accordance with their aptitude, so that every child can feel the joy of success and enhance their self-confidence in learning. It is in the learning process of multimedia information technology education that children learn how to communicate with others, unite and cooperate, and wait in turn, and gradually form a lively, cheerful, healthy and harmonious personality.
Second, the integration of information technology education and kindergarten education and teaching activities
Under the guidance of the spirit of "Guidelines for Kindergarten Education" and under the influence of advanced educational concepts at home and abroad, our teachers gradually realize that kindergarten education and teaching is not limited to the teaching activities of 1 2 that children concentrate on every morning, but should take advantage of every favorable opportunity of children's daily life to carry out educational and teaching activities at any time and establish the great educational concept of "education is life and life is education". The education and teaching work in kindergartens is not only the unilateral work of kindergarten teachers, but also the work jointly undertaken by families and kindergartens.
1, the integration of multimedia courseware and centralized education teaching content
The teaching content of kindergarten education is comprehensive and enlightening, covering five fields: health, language, society, science and art (art and music). The contents of various fields permeate each other and promote the development of children's emotions, attitudes, abilities, knowledge and skills from different angles. Because children are young and have little life experience, their physiological and psychological characteristics determine that the content of centralized teaching activities in kindergartens can not be completed simply by teachers' preaching, but must present children with richer intuitive images to help them understand and master the learning content. With its unique educational functions, multimedia courseware (video images, computer animation) turns static into dynamic, difficult into easy, virtual into real, far from near, vividly and concretely displays educational content, enhances the interest of concentrated educational activities, stimulates children's interest in exploration and learning, and greatly improves the quality of teaching activities. For example: learn about China's famous mountains and rivers and feel the vast territory of the great motherland; Appreciating the exotic scenery of all countries in the world and the colorful family in the world is one of the social experience activities of the children in large classes. However, thousands of miles away in Qian Shan, don't say that children don't have the opportunity to experience it, and even our teachers rarely have the conditions to visit it in person. With the help of the "space mouse" in the teaching software "Judy Time and Space House", children can only know a few places of interest, which is far from satisfying their interest in this activity. Therefore, our teachers should first strengthen their own learning, grasp relevant information and knowledge through reading books and online search, and build a theme network for children's learning. Then, they give full play to the strength of their children and parents, collect and sort out postcards of various places of interest, photos, videos and online videos of children's sightseeing activities under the leadership of their parents, and lead their children to sort out the materials and carry out "I love my hometown-Dalian" and "Great" in the form of information education. The theme wall such as "Our Common Home-Earth" enriches and perfects the theme education activity curriculum in our garden.
With the continuous development of children's body and mind, children have a strong interest in the characteristics of surrounding environment, things and phenomena, and have a desire to explore, especially all kinds of small animals are deeply loved by children. In order to cultivate children's feelings of being close to nature and loving small animals, the kindergarten has specially opened up a small animal paradise. Xiaohua Mall, puppy, rabbit, tortoise, squirrel and pigeon have all become children's good friends. In the process of seeing, touching, listening and feeding small animals, children understand their living habits and establish good emotional ties with them. But after a long time, the existing small animals in kindergartens can no longer meet the development needs of children. Our teacher combined the four seasons education theme activity-winter, and used the "Four Seasons in Oak Pool" to let children know more about animals. Molas, raccoons-not to mention that children have never seen these animals, and some have never even heard of them. So with the help of teachers and parents, they help children know and understand these lovely animals by looking up books, surfing the Internet and calling parents in the zoo. Now if you ask the children in the big class, do they know raccoons? They will proudly tell you: "Of course, it is an animal in North America. Because it washes food in water before eating, it is called raccoon. Although it is called raccoon, it is not a bear, because bears hibernate in winter, but it doesn't have to hibernate! " After three years of continuous exploration and accumulation, the kindergarten-based teaching activity course in our garden is organically combined with the teaching software provided by IBM in the United States, forming a more intuitive, vivid, colorful and distinctive teaching course.
Our garden can also invite parents to directly participate in children's computer operation activities, so that parents can become supporters and collaborators of children's operation activities. In the process of exploring and learning with children, parents feel the superiority of computer-assisted instruction, and gradually understand that it is very necessary and possible to organize children to use computers in a timely and moderate manner in early childhood, stimulate children's interest in computer activities, and cultivate their initiative and creativity in learning.
Three. Matters needing attention in the effective integration of information technology education and kindergarten education and teaching activities
As one of the educational means of kindergarten education and teaching activities, information technology education has advantages and disadvantages. Teachers must pay attention to the following items in the implementation process:
1. The first and most important thing is to maintain a balanced relationship between information technology education and traditional kindergarten teaching activities. Even the best information technology equipment and educational software can only be the means and auxiliary tools of education and teaching, and can never be used to replace traditional education and teaching activities, especially those classic and excellent activities that meet the needs of children's growth, such as role games, performing games, building games, playing with sand and water. They can't be abandoned because of more advanced information technology teaching.
2. Teachers play a very important role in choosing software for information education activities. First of all, teachers should be familiar with the content and educational function of each software, and compare and choose various teaching courseware, which one is more suitable for children in this class, so as to better help children achieve the goal of teaching activities. Secondly, different children have different learning styles and different learning needs. Teachers should provide children with activity software with flexible practice space according to their different development levels to ensure that children's activities are gradually improved from easy to difficult. Thirdly, teachers should pay special attention to screening when choosing information technology education activity software to prevent violent content from flooding children's young hearts, such as "bomb explosion" when doing wrong exercises-to prevent children's bad emotional state and abnormal psychology from forming imperceptibly for a long time.
3. Pay attention to controlling the time and way for children to use information technology educational tools to ensure the healthy development of children's body and mind. For example, teachers should always guide children to operate computers to prevent children from using computers for a long time and causing shoulder and arm muscle fatigue; Prevent the influence of staring at the computer screen for a long time on children's vision and hearing.
Information technology education activities may not only bring adverse effects on children's physical development, but also cause irreparable losses to children's other aspects of development through long-term improper use of information technology teaching equipment such as computers. For example, a person's language development level determines his intellectual development level and social communication ability, while children's oral expression ability is exercised and developed in the process of communication with peers and adults. If a child spends a lot of time on computer operation too early, he may lose many opportunities to communicate with peers and adults, and his language development level will be hindered and his normal development will not be achieved.
In a word, advanced information technology education means is of great significance to assist kindergarten education and teaching activities. It can help children break through the difficulties of knowledge and enjoy the fun of learning happily. At the same time, it also puts forward higher requirements for our teachers. Only by integrating information technology education into the overall optimization of quality education in kindergartens, arranging educational contents scientifically and reasonably, and giving full play to the special educational functions and artistic charm of various electronic devices, can kindergarten education and teaching work be more powerful and get twice the result with half the effort, so that children can gain more experience beneficial to physical and mental development in their happy childhood and lay a good foundation for their lifelong development.
