Activity reflection:
In the eyes of children, small animals are their closest friends. Middle class children have a special feeling for imitation, and they will show great care and curiosity no matter where and when. At the same time, the "New Outline" clearly points out: children's language ability is developed in the process of using it. The key to developing children's language is to create a place where they can say what they want to say, dare to speak, like to speak, have the opportunity to speak, and receive positive responses. environment. So how to create a positive language expression environment for young children, so that children can learn language easily and without pressure in games, transfer language experience, and develop children's language ability? Therefore, I organized a middle class language activity based on the "354 Game Teaching Model" of our kindergarten.
During the activity, I was surprised to find that the children were very interested in this activity and accomplished my expected activity goals well. However, it also caused some reflections on my part:
The merits of the activity design and coaching process are:
1. It can better create a positive language environment for young children. In the activities, in line with the characteristics of the teaching materials, I mainly organized the activities through the "comparison" game, creating a situation for the children that the Tiger King wanted to invite the children to serve as judges for the ear-comparing competition held in the Forest Kingdom. The children were extremely happy, eager to try, and naturally entered activity.
2. Able to successfully guide children to transfer language experience and create children's songs.
In the third session of "Transferring Experience and Creating Children's Songs", I provided materials for the children and asked the children to create children's songs based on their language experience gained in the children's song learning session. The whole classroom was boiling. Everyone rushed to raise their hands to say their own children's songs. I asked a child to come up and say, "Whose ears_? The children would eagerly rush to say the second half of the sentence: _'s ears_. This not only allowed the children to further consolidate their mastery of key sentence patterns, but also transferred the children's Language experience, self-composed children's songs, developed children's language ability.
3. The teacher pays attention to the difficulty of the whole activity and the clear level. In the activity, I then simulated the ear competition scene, allowing the children to unknowingly familiarize themselves with the language and learn children's songs through reporting contestants, reporting competition events, and announcing the results of the competition. ——Whoever responds quickly helps children consolidate the content of children's songs and gain language experience. At this point in the activity, the children are still unfinished and have a desire to create children's songs. At this time, I strike while the iron is hot, provide materials for children, transfer language experience, and create children's songs. Finally, I ended the activity by inviting us to the forest to participate in the award ceremony of the ear-bidding competition. The entire activity was organized with a clear beginning and end.
4. The design of the game session paid attention to the alternation of movement and silence. , prevent children from being too tired, and cater to children's playful nature. It fully utilizes the enduring charm of games and upgrades the pure "entertainment" function of games to "educational function", effectively consolidating the role of children's songs.
However, from the overall activity design and process, there are also many practical problems:
1. Some links such as "simulating competitions and learning children's songs" , a little rough. It does not give children enough time and space to think, experience, and comprehend, but ends with "the teacher asks and the children answer"
2. The game session can be more hands-on. The most exciting part of the entire activity, which can arouse children's interest the most, is a flash. It can provide children with more teaching aids and time for creating. At the same time, the organization of the mini-game - "Who has the fastest reaction" is also a bit hasty. , you can provide more headwear for children and increase the number of children playing games to mobilize the enthusiasm of children to participate in activities and further expand the content of activities.
In short, kindergarten language teaching materials are very flexible and require teachers to be able to do so. To improve one's own quality faster, we must not only keep up with the pace of the times, but also adapt to the characteristics of young children. According to the development of young children, we should constantly improve teaching methods in practice and gradually form a teaching method with our own characteristics. This public teaching activity has taught me. It brings some new thinking and inspiration. I firmly believe that this will be a good start in my future career in early childhood education. I am determined to be a learning and research-based teacher, reflecting on activities and growing in reflection. Find the joy of life in the vast world of early childhood education!
Little Encyclopedia: The ear is located behind the eye. It has the function of distinguishing vibrations, converting the sounds emitted by vibrations into nerve signals, and then transmitting them to the brain. In the brain, these signals are translated into words, music, and other sounds that we can understand.
