“教学相长”一直是PICLC教师团队教研活动中坚守的信念。当孩子们在探索世界之时,老师们也在专业学习道路上不断钻研。唯有与时俱进,不断更新和完善我们的教学技能和理念,才能满足日新月异时代下幼儿的不同发展需求。

本学期中文教师团队坚持每两周一次的集体教研,从与日常教学活动有关的教学主题研讨到如何进行幼儿观察与记录,集体教研更像是一场教师团队思想碰撞不同火花的旅程。

“Learning while Teaching”is the belief for Teachers Training and Development in PICLC. Teachers are indulging in improving themselves while the kids are investigating the world. The unique development of each child can be promoted efficiently if teachers keep updating and renewing their teaching skills and theory. That’s why, in this semester, we have scheduled consistent and regular training every two weeks.

而近期在区域活动的研讨中,在教学助理MS Eva的组织下,一系列的教研活动使教师们更全面且深度地看待区域活动在幼儿园一日活动中的作用和角色,以及对区域的基本设置包括材料的基本设计有了新的认知。

Recently, there has been a series of training conducted by teaching assistant MS Eva, which encouraged the teachers to value the function of learning centers in a deeper way. Meanwhile, they have new insight into the setup of centers and materials design.


区域活动为幼儿提供系统、适宜的区域材料,使幼儿在自主选择和主动学习的过程中,通过与环境的有效互动获得个性化的发展。

Learning centers are areas within the classroom where students learn about specific subjects by playing and engaging in activities. Play is an active form of learning that involves the whole self.

它能充分关注并尊重每个幼儿的不同个性让他们的兴趣爱好、擅长领域、活动风格、学习节奏、发展水平得到充分的展示和发挥能培养幼儿的探究问题、解决问题的能力,以及开放的思维能力、创造能力。区域活动是实现幼儿多方面发展的最好载体,是一种促进幼儿全面发展的适宜性课程。

正是由于区域活动在教学活动中提供于幼儿的自主性,让老师们更加重视这一活动的有效开展。

The primary focus in today’s kindergarten, is achieved through child-initiated exploration and discovery. Since mature, well-rounded growth must include the whole self, children should be encouraged to play and explore their environment for personal developmental and social reasons as well as academic ones. When used for all of these purposes, learning centers are an important part of a balanced kindergarten.

温故而知新 Gaining New Insights through Review

 

区域的基本设置与规划对于老师们并不陌生,在绘制班级区域图以及“大家来找茬”中老师们又一次反思了自己班级区域的布置,也在与团队的交流中收获了很多有效的调整意见。

正如我们一位老师的感慨:这间教室我待过,但从未想过居然可以这样去规划。一千个老师里有一千个设计师。对于区域活动的开展流程,在实例视频中我们进行了更直观的学习。

Layout and setup of learning centers are a piece of cake for all the teachers. Designing a center map and figuring out the problem of each design made the teachers reflect the setup of their own design and gain some new thoughts as well. They even learned the procedure of center time by watching different demo videos.

以材料为本 Materials-centered

 

好的区域材料是区域活动的灵魂。老师们从区域材料的基本特性、基本原则到材料的设计步骤,层层抽丝剥茧,又再从各个区域的材料结合多种案例进行剖析。

其中不仅有实际材料的现场分析与改造,更有每次教研活动结束后老师们对单份区域材料的分析心得。从理论到实操练习,在多维度模式上老师们不断打磨对于区域材料设计的技能,精益求精。

The spirit of learning centers is materials. We investigated the characteristic and principle of center materials as well as the steps of designing the materials. Analyzing, remaking real materials and writing analysis reports after every training, teachers improved their design skills in a multimodal way.

创意无限 匠心DIY Designing Competition

 

纸上谈兵终觉浅,教研活动的学习只有真正回归到我们的教学活动中,应用到孩子们的一日活动与课堂中才是高效的。因此,我们中文教师团队展开了一场“创意无限 匠心DIY”自制区域材料的比赛。教师们各自发挥创意,利用各种材料设计区域材料并完成材料的分析说明。

Theories should always be integrated into reality. What we have learned during training must be applied into our class and daily activities. Hence, Chinese teachers organized the materials designing competition to see how well they have improved after training, and taken further steps towards mastering their skills as teachers.

在比赛当中老师们一一对作品进行展示和解说,教师团队和行政团队根据区域材料的特性和设计原则进行点评。而这场比赛最大的收获莫过于总有让人眼前一亮的设计和想法,让老师们醍醐灌顶。它山之石可以攻玉,老师之间互相学习到的优秀材料也将运用到全园的区域活动中。

They spent their spare time creating their own toys and writing a report. After their demonstration, the administrative staff evaluated all the work. During the competition we have seen so many new ideas and designs which can be absorbed by all the teachers.

教研之路漫漫长,在每天繁忙的教学与带班工作中,中文教师们依然坚持利用午休时间进行充电。教研的一切都是为了高质量的教学活动服务,高质量的教学活动则是能满足孩子们发展的需求。在孩子们的学习成长道路上,老师们也要不断学习提升自我,去迎接每一个不同的孩子。

Teachers Training and Development is a lifelong road. The Chinese teachers are fulfilling themselves during their break time even though they are busy with daily teaching. Teacher training is to teaching activities as sun to flowers. We do believe that teachers in PICLC keep learning to meet different needs of our kids.
