Thepresent Situation Research On Science Inquiry Activityin Kindergarten

Kindergarten science inquiry activities,which belong to the category of kindergarten science education,are also the main form of science education and teaching for children.It is of great significance to stimulate children’s interest in science,to experience scientific inquiry process,and to develop a preliminary inquiry into scientific ability.Under the background of increasing the construction of kindergartens and attaching importance to children’s science education,it is particularly urgent and important to study the scientific inquiry activities in kindergartens.Based on Piaget’s activity theory,cooperative teaching theory and constructivism theory,and supported by field research,this study conducted in-depth research on children’s scientific inquiry activities in three kindergartens in Nanchang City by means of questionnaire survey,field consultation and classroom observation,This paper analyzes the current situation,existing problems and causes of scientific inquiry activities in kindergartens,probes into the paths and methods to solve the problems,and gives some opinions on improving the teaching of scientific inquiry activities in kindergartens.According to the statistics,there are four common problems in the scientific inquiry activities of the three kindergartens,namely,the "fuzziness" of the activity goal design,the "one sidedness" of the activity organization content,the "formalization" of the activity implementation process,and the "simplification" of the activity evaluation path.In view of the different nature of kindergartens,different regions,different teachers,different guarantee conditions of scientific inquiry facilities and materials,different number and scale of classes,the analysis shows that the scientific literacy of teachers in the three kindergartens needs to be improved,the activity objectives are not clear enough,the activity content is relatively simple,the material is single,and the activity links are reduced.Based on the objective problems and the influence of society,kindergartens,teachers and other factors,this paper explores the corresponding solutions,and forms the social level to improve the collaborative system and strengthen the activity hardware;the kindergarten level to improve the teacher evaluation system,strengthen the construction of science and culture,strengthen the home contact,and increase the strength of Kindergarten Based Research;the teacher level to grasp the early preparation,organization and implementation,and expansion.The conclusion of three links is extended.Through the research,we can adapt to the process of attaching importance to the kindergarten education and improving the quality of the kindergarten science education,and provide some referential suggestions for improving the actual effect of the scientific inquiry in the kindergarten,so as to achieve the effect of "making a mountain out of a molehill".
