| Preschool education is the foundation project of education,the quality of preschool education will make a big difference to the growth of the educate and the development of the country.As the contradiction between people’s ever-growing needs for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development has become the main contradiction in China in the new era,the social demand and quality improvement of preschool education professionals has become a hot issue that social field and education field in our country pay attention to together.As an important part of preschool education,art education plays an irreplaceable role in "educating people with aesthetics","beautifying people" and "cultivating people based on beauty".Dance course is an important carrier of art education and a compulsory course for students majoring in preschool education.A systematic review of the current status of dance courses and teaching in preschool education in domestic colleges and universities is not only conducive to guiding the construction and development of professional dance education in preschool education at the present stage,but also conducive to exploring the construction of an educational ecological system of dance courses and teaching in preschool education in the new era.This paper focuses on the theme of dance curriculum and teaching for preschool education majors in domestic colleges and universities,and demonstrates it from two clues.The first is to further clarify the relevant policies of preschool education majors and the research status of art courses of preschool education majors,especially dance courses and teaching,through a large number of literature combing.Through the study,the author fully grasps the construction concept and development trend of dance curriculum of preschool education professional and lays the theoretical foundation for the research.The second is to construct the logical framework of the research based on the research topic,and take five universities in Sichuan Province as examples to conduct in-depth questionnaire survey and in-depth interview to further collect data on the dance courses and teaching status of preschool education majors.On the basis of summarizing,analyzing and discussing the survey data,this paper puts forward the new goal of dance curriculum and teaching development of preschool education in colleges and universities in the new era.The research found that our country has issued a series of policy for preschool education and the training of preschool teachers,and has put forward a lot of strong operational policies for the training of preschool education professionals from the macro and micro perspectives.At the same time,the existing research on the dance curriculum and teaching of preschool education is relatively lack of systematicness and academic rationality,and the research on the professional dance curriculum and teaching of preschool education from the macro strategic level is even less.The results show that dance courses in preschool education play an irreplaceable role in enhancing students’ aesthetic ability and core competitiveness.However,some students are still ill-equipped to teach.The actual deviation between the curriculum content and the demand of preschool education still exists;The proportion of theoretical curriculum and practical curriculum is out of balance;The curriculum and teaching are not strongly related to other disciplines,especially arts majors;the practicability of using modern information technology to integrate teaching is weak,and so on.All of these have become the practical difficulties and challenges faced by the dance course and teaching of the preschool education in colleges and universities.Based on the concept of ecology of education,this paper suggests that the construction of dance curriculum and teaching ecological system of preschool education is the inevitable consequence to promote the current dance curriculum and teaching innovation,coordination,and sustainable development.The concept of ecology of education is taken as the theoretical basis and innovative element for the reconstruction of various elements in the field of education,to gradually build "six integration education ecological model" that education goals and integrates policy concept,curriculum and teaching management,curriculum structure and theory practice,the course content and interdisciplinary,teaching process and teaching technics,curriculum evaluation and external environment integration.It can make the education elements form an organic whole of mutual coordination,mutual promotion and mutual dependence to further promote the overall quality of dance curriculum and teaching quality of preschool education as a whole. |
