The Environmental Design for Kindergarten is an important part of kindergarten curriculum system.It is of great significance to study the environmental design for children's learning and the development of children's education.At present,there are abundant researches on the environmental design for kindergarten.On the basis of existing researches,this essay examines the the environmental design for kindergarten from a new perspective,that is,the perspective of children's culture.After reading relevant periodicals,books and other contents,it processes thinking and puts forward three changes to restore the essence of the environmental design for kindergarten.The following is a brief overview of each part of this thesis:In the introduction part,the author first expounds the basis of the topic selection,and explains the significance of this research on the basis of reviewing and summarizing the existing relevant research.For a long time,the environmental design for kindergarten has been regarded as providing a kind of external living and learning conditions.Even though it is recognized that the environmental design for kindergarten should be based on children,it is also stressed that the environmental design for should be based on the characteristics of children's physical and mental development.Generally speaking,the environmental design should be set in the perspective of adults.The environmental design for kindergarten is mainly carried out as the work of adults.The participation of children is just a small part of it.Little consideration is given to children's own spiritual characteristics and learning characteristics,and the environmental design for kindergarten is viewed according to children's unique life style and spiritual world.Therefore,this thesis proposes toexamine the environmental design for kindergarten from the perspective of children's culture,aiming to explore the transformation of the environmental design for kindergarten from the perspective of children's culture.The second part mainly discusses the purpose of the environmental design for kindergarten,which is also the main basis of the thesis.In this part,firstly,the author combs the attention in the educational practice of some children educators in history,reflecting their deep understanding of the environment for children's education.On this basis,the purpose of setting up kindergarten environment is to meet children's learning needs and promote children's growth.Its essence is based on children,around children,everything is for children's growth and development.The environmental design for kindergarten should always grasp this essential purpose.The third part mainly analyzes the misunderstandings existing in the environmental design for kindergarten under the perspective of adult culture.The root cause of these misunderstandings is that the kindergarten ignored the purpose of environmental design in the process of creating the environment.And the kindergarten did not take the environment as the environment to promote the growth of children and the educational events,but took the design of kindergarten environment as one of the teachers' work.Taking the environment as one of the environment design and child development are regarded as the second thing to be done rather than the first.Adults regard the process of the environmental design for kindergarten as an activity unrelated to children from their point of view.To isolate children and make the kindergarten environment separated from children is to view the environmental design for kindergarten under the perspective of adult culture.There is a long distance between the perspective of adult culture and that of children's culture.The environmental design for kindergarten should return to children and emphasize children's participation.Children can get internalgrowth through the interaction between the process of environment design and environment.The fourth part discusses three changes that should be realized in the environmental design for kindergarten under the perspective of children's culture.The first is the transformation of the environmental design for kindergarten from providing learning conditions to generating learning process;the second is the transformation of the environmental design for kindergarten from static presentation to dynamic generation;the third is the transformation of teachers ' roles from the environment preparation to the environment education to the environmental education promoter,re-examining teachers' professional value,and clarifying teachers' role in environmental design.To realize the three major changes in the environmental design for kindergarten is the embodiment of children's cultural perspective in the creation of kindergarten environment.The environmental design for kindergarten is regarded as a kind of curriculum,a process of children's learning and a space for children's growth to the maximum extent.The conclusion makes a brief summary of the whole thesis,explains the limitations of this thesis,and makes a prospect for the future.
