Literature review
I. Overview of the study
Knowledge of nature teaching in kindergartens can't meet the requirements and needs of the times. In the mid-1980s, the introduction of foreign theories of early childhood education and developmental psychology enlivened the thinking of preschool education. Paying attention to the intellectual development of early children became the need at that time. The education in knowledge of nature in this period basically served for intelligence, and its content was limited to natural phenomena. The teaching method still has not got rid of the mode of teacher speaking, children observing and children listening. At the beginning of 1990s, with the deepening of education reform, preschool education circles made scientific research and comprehensive reform on children's science education on the basis of the original educational experience in knowledge of nature, drawing on the useful experience of modern children's science education abroad.
The purpose of kindergarten science education is to cultivate children's comprehensive quality and preliminary quality. This quality is not simply reflected in the number of scientific knowledge that individuals have mastered, nor is it simply reflected in the ability of individuals to learn knowledge. It is an individual's inherent comprehensive quality of loving science, understanding science and creatively solving problems by using scientific knowledge and methods. The experimental research of this topic aims to promote the development and improvement of teachers and students' scientific quality by carrying out scientific education activities in the form of scientific and technological activities in kindergartens.
