Research On Development And Cultivation Of Young Children's Self-control

Self-control reflects one's ability to control mental and action initiatively, and it is one of the significant aims of children's socialization for us to cultivate children's self-control .It is not only important in children's early development, but influences the latter development deeply, so it is theoretically and educational meaningful to study in a systematical way on the characters of the development of children's self-control and the educational intervention ways.Through experimental methods, the thesis investigates the influences of inhibitory control and outside situations on the development of children's self-control. Through single case method, this research takes educational intervention on normal children's lack of self-control. Through practical inspect and interview in kindergartens, this thesis investigates problems of routine education, which do harm to the development of children's self-control, and analyzes the relative problems deeply. Based on these researches, this thesis raises appropriate educational advices on how to implement routine education and cultivate children's self-control.Part One, through stating on the connotation and development of self-control, as well as the research orientation, this thesis points out the problems to be solved in this research, study methods and the overall research frame.Part two. through three research programs; this thesis inspects the characters of the development of the inhibitory control of children of 3 to 6 years old. Comparing the characters of the development of self-control of children with different inhibitory control in different situations, and testing the effectiveness of educational intervention on normal children's lack of self-control in classes.Part Three, from the direction of the relationship between routine education in kindergartens and the development of children's self-control, this part analyzes the phenomena and reasons that does not benefit for the cultivation of children's self-control in the routine education in kindergartens, and points out that routine education is a significant channel for fostering children's self-control. Hence, routine education needs follow the character of the development of children's self-control in order to achieve the short-time aim of keeping educational order, meanwhile needs to use proper educational methods to improve the development of children's self-control ability in order to achieve the final goal of routine education. In conclusion,(1) Inhibitory control is the prerequisite of the development of children's self control, so that it is necessary to point out appropriate educational goals and requirements according to the development and individual difference of children's inhibitory control.(2) The development of self-control is not very stable in pre-school period, and without stability cross-situation, so the environment in kindergartens should be in order and consistency.(3) Self control in classes of children lack of that can be improved through comprehensive intervention, so it is necessary to make comprehensive educational intervention to improve them.Taking inhibitory control as the variation of individual character, this research program inspects the character of the development of self control among children with different inhibitory control, as well as the stability of self control in different situations, which remedies the defect in the past research that we seldom considered the factor of individual characters. This research program also treats peer as a social element and compares the difference of children's self control in different social situation, which remedies the defect in the past research that we seldom took social elements into consideration.Through discussing how to intervene normal children lacking of self control in routine education, as well as treating routine education in kindergartens as a significant route to foster children's self control, this thesis has made up the deficit in the past research that we seldom discussed how to foster children's self control.This research enriches the studies on children's self control in China, provides theoretical basis for the later research on fostering children's self control, as well as provides effective advice on creating better educational environment to foster children's self control.
