On The Return To Childhood Education Of Children

When the childhood goes away in one's life process, it will never return, and it will become a holy and pure dream at the bottom of one's heart. When the child lives in his world, running, jumping, playing, as if being lively and joyful forever. However, the childhood actually is in a crisis of disappearance. This crisis urges people to study childhood and child education.What is the childhood? How does the childhood originate? Why does the childhood exist? These questions lead us to think deeply about the origin and value of the childhood. Based on the perspectives from relative disciplines of anthropology, using embryologic methods, the paper examines the origin of childhood from human's evolution process. It confirms that the childhood is an anthropological phenomenon. Its value both lies in biological adaptation and cultural adaptation. This provides the premise for the occurrence of education. In this sense, the childhood will not disappear or be exceeded.The childhood does not only give a sense of age, it is a special world in fact. Furthermore, the child is an existence independently, and his essence cannot be debussed by adult's. Tn order to explore the essential characteristic of the human childhood, the paper examines human's childhood experience and explains the characteristics of children's world in trying to apply the phenomenological methodology. The paper suggests that child is a lifer, a player and a learner. The children's world is a happy and pure one, which is a three-dimensional network,Does the childhood disappear? What is the manifestation of childhood crisis in China? The paper suggests that the basic problem lies in that the child is alienated as "pseudo-adult ", and its intrinsic reason is the "survival education" caused by social competition, and still its exterior manifestations is the "curriculum growth". This is the occurrence mechanism of the current childhood crisis in China.How to solve the current crisis of child education in China? To answer this question, based on a new understanding of childhood, crisis of childhood and reasons for deviation of child education from the childhood, the paper maintains that the primary point is to follow the rules of kids development, respect their life styles, play styles and study styles to promote their sound development and gear child education to characteristics of the childhood, during which we should make full use of children's intern growing ability. The basic rule is to combine education activities with living activities, playing activities and study activities. Meanwhile, to avoid the "guiding-dissevering" teaching methodology which leads to the deviation of child education from objective rules in their childhood, the paper proposes "participating-blending" teaching methodology as a feasible measure to make our child education adapt to features of the childhood.
