Equal Opportunity Of Interaction Between Teacher And Children In The Kindergarten

To equalize the educational opportunity is one of the major tasks in education democratization. At present, the inequality of educational opportunity exists not only on macroscopic level such as the opportunity of being admitted into kindergarten but also on microscopic level of the inner educational activities such as interaction between teacher and child. The teacher as the controllers and distributors have absolute power in the allocation of resources in the kindergarten. So it becomes very important for the teacher to treat the children without discrimination so as to let the child obtain the education resources equally.This research is focused on everyday interactions between teacher and child by equal opportunity angle of view and a middle class in the kindergarten of Shanghai was selected as my research case. The composition used observation, interview and document to review how the teacher and the child have interacted in educational activities everyday. Analysis and explorations were carried out from the data collected to see if there existed different treatment of children by the teacher in their daily interactions, whether children in the same condition enjoyed equal opportunities in the activities.My research showed that the opportunity to participate in educational interaction between teacher and child could be divided into one of visible and of invisible. Visible opportunity to participate referred to the differences or gaps in the time, frequency, quomodo, content of interactions that were obvious and visible ;Invisible opportunity to participate referred to the types, quantity and affect characteristic of interactions which were not easy to see about. Both visible opportunities and invisible opportunities to participate were all different and more or less unequal. These phenomena were mainly caused by many aspects: running the school by model of incorporating; the manager lacking of the power of supervising kindergarten independently; the teacher uncultured educational conception; the whole low quality of the parents; the less cooperation between kindergarten and homestead. These factors all affect equal opportunity of interaction between teacher and child. So The research gives some suggestions: we should improve the managers' competence of kindergarten by themselves and fair consciousness, transform teachers and parents lagging educational conception in order to form a safe and a free environment for children, correctly deal with the relations between equal and difference in the interactions of teacher-child, establish teachers evaluating mechanism in visual angle of child and mutual multi-interaction, In these ways the children have developed healthy and harmoniously.
