幼儿教育是什么?幼儿接受与不接受教育区别又如何?怎样正确教育幼儿?科普来咯: 幼儿教育,主要指的是对3-6岁年龄阶段的幼儿所实施的教育,是学前教育或说早期教育的后半阶段,前面与0-3岁的婴儿教育衔接,后面与初等教育衔接,是一个人教育与发展的重要而特殊的阶段。“重要”指的是它是一个人发展的奠基时期,许多品质、能力在这个时期形成基本特点,“特殊”指的是这个阶段是儿童身心发展从最初的不定型到基本定型。 所以,是不是熊孩子很大程度上取决于大人们对孩子的教育。 英国历来有重视学前教育的传统,围绕政府颁布的《基础阶段课程指南》,英国学前教育界探索并设置了相应的课程。借鉴其成功经验,我国学前教育课程以爱为基础,重视幼儿表达与交往能力的培养,将数学问题与生活相结合,让幼儿亲近自然和锻炼身体,重视幼儿创造力的培养。 那么,英国的幼儿教育都有什么选择呢?(排名不分先后) 1.伦敦大学国王学院 MA Child Studies 幼儿研究 伦敦大学国王学院,简称King’s或KCL,世界20强顶尖名校,伦敦大学的创校学院,世界著名研究型大学,英国金三角名校。2017QS综合排名世界第21位。 入学要求:You will normally be required to have a 2:1 honours degree (or overseas equivalent) or an equivalent qualification in a subject relevant to work with children and/or substantial professional work experience in a relevant field. 接下来,我们看看KCL的课程设置: 必修课: Children’s Rights Child Protection Dissertation Child Studies Dissertation 选修课: Child Health and Development Global Childhoods Multi-disciplinary Practice with Children and Young People Research Methods Internship Module Psychology & Learning The Social Context of Schooling Social Justice and Education Policy 2.伦敦大学学院 MSc Child Development 幼儿发展学 (属于心理学与特殊教育需求交叉的一门课程) 伦敦大学学院简称UCL,与牛津大学、剑桥大学、帝国理工和伦敦政经并称为G5超级精英大学,是英国规模最大、学科最广的综合研究型大学。2018年QS世界大学排名中位列世界第7名。 入学要求: A minimum of a second-class Bachelor’s degree from a UK university, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard, either in psychology or a related subject, that has been accredited by the British Psychological Society.
