Application Research Of Curriculum Gamification In Rural Kindergarten Theme Activities

Preschool education is an important part of basic education,and it is the foundation of school education and lifelong education.In order to improve the quality of kindergarten care and education,the State Council issued Several Opinions on Deepening Reform and Standardizing Development of Preschool Education in November 2018,which mentioned that kindergartens should follow the rules of children's physical and mental development,adhere to games as the basic activities,and resolutely overcome and correct the tendency of "primary school".Therefore,kindergarten curriculum should follow the principles of adaptability,interest and life.Based on the practical perspective and from the theoretical perspectives of pedagogy and psychology,this paper takes the kindergarten theme activity "Batik in Hometown" as an example to explore the methods and strategies of gamification of rural kindergarten curriculum,in order to provide reference for further orderly promotion of gamification of rural kindergarten curriculum.First of all,by referring to a large number of materials and previous research results,the internal logic of gamification of rural kindergarten curriculum is rationally examined.The study believes that gamification of curriculum is an important part of kindergarten curriculum practice with games as the basic activity.In essence,gamification activities of kindergarten curriculum are not game activities,but use games and game elements to permeate the game spirit of freedom,autonomy,pleasure,cooperation and creation into kindergarten curriculum activities.The main purpose is to arouse children's curiosity and interest and enhance the subjectivity of learning.Secondly,carry out field investigation and research in kindergartens.Taking rural kindergartens in D City as the survey object,this paper conducted a questionnaire survey from three aspects: the basic situation of kindergarten teachers,their understanding of curriculum gamification and the practice of curriculum gamification education.Combined with the observation method and interview method,this paper analyzed the application status and existing problems of curriculum gamification in rural kindergartens.The survey found that there are three problems in rural kindergartens: teachers' wrong understanding of curriculum gamification,teachers' limited implementation of curriculum gamification,and kindergarten curriculum gamification support conditions.Thirdly,a large class in S Kindergarten,a rural kindergarten in D City,was selected as the research object.According to the characteristics of children's physical and mental development,the application research of theme activities is carried out under the concept of gamification of batik in curriculum.Taking "Batik in Hometown" as an example,games or game elements are applied in non-game links to carry out activities.The activities are divided into three parts: I make friends with batik,I am a batik designer and I am a batik publicist.Each activity is carried out through planning,implementation,reflection,implementation and reflection.Research shows that the practice of gamification of "Hometown Batik" themed activity course improves children's aesthetic ability and operational ability,improves teachers' ability to implement gamification of curriculum,and enriches the content and form of kindergarten curriculum.In order to further promote the practice of gamification of theme activities in rural kindergartens,it is suggested to improve teachers' professional quality and provide basic conditions for gamification of curriculum.Strengthen the construction of curriculum mechanism to provide organizational guarantee for gamification of curriculum.
