The arrival of the era of artificial intelligence has set new requirements for education development and talent cultivation.Cooperation ability,critical thinking,NES creative creativity and communication skills have become the basic qualities of today's students.At the same time,the future-oriented STEM education has set off a wave in primary and secondary schools.Nowadays,people gradually realize that Early STEM education will have a profound impact on children's development in critical thinking,hands-on skills,problem-solving skills,etc.,and early childhood experience in science,technology,engineering and mathematics will be for them in the future.The development in many aspects has an important impact.Therefore,the rise of kindergarten STEM education is brewing.There is a close relationship between kindergarten science education and STEM education.The development and implementation of science education based on STEM concept is not only the hot spot of kindergarten teachers,but also the focus of the current preschool field.This study takes the STEM concept as the entry point and conducts an in-depth discussion on the relationship between STEM education and kindergarten science education,and conducts case study on the problems of STEM-based science education and its influencing factors.A more in-depth analysis,and ultimately settled on the effective promotion of science education strategy of L kindergarten.The introduction mainly expounds the reasons for the topic selection,the related research summary,the research purpose,the research significance,the main content,the research methods,the research content and the research innovation points.The first part,STEM education and kindergarten science education overview.On the basis of previous studies,the author analyzes the meaning of STEM education and kindergarten science education,analyzes the fit between STEM and kindergarten science education.The second part is the analysis of the problems and causes of science education under the STEM concept in L kindergarten.The author takes L kindergarten in LinyiCity,Shandong Province as the research object,and conducts an in-depth investigation of the science education based on STEM concept carried out by L kindergarten by case study method,observation method,interview method and case analysis method,and the results of the investigation are from science education.The integration status,the child's subjectivity,the scientific problem itself,the guidance of the child's inquiry,the critical reflection and the flexible transfer of experience are analyzed.Based on the investigation and analysis of the current situation,the author analyzes the reasons that affect science education through data review,field observation and interviews,mainly government and social support,relevant existing research,science curriculum of L kindergarten,teachers themselves and scientific activities.Time and so on.The third part is the strategy of effective promotion of science education under the STEM concept in L kindergarten.This department starts from the basic status,problems and influencing factors of L kindergarten science education,and strives to propose an effective strategy to improve the science education under the STEM concept of L kindergarten.The specific strategies include: creating a development environment: creating a good environment conducive to the development of science education;improving teacher literacy: creating a good environment for the implementation of science education under the STEM concept;cultivating teachers' STEM literacy and scientific literacy;constructing an integrated science curriculum system based on STEM concept;creating appropriate and diverse problem situations;supporting children's independent inquiry and give appropriate guidance;and practicing,cultivating children's awareness and ability to reflect on migration.In today's urgent need for innovative talents,the implementation of science education based on the STEM concept is an inevitable trend,but in the initial exploration stage,it will bring many challenges to the traditional teaching mode or mode of thinking.However,we believe that with the joint efforts of society,parents,teachers,government and other parties,science education based on the STEM concept will finally play its due value.
