儿童自然教育：价值追寻、现实困境、路径探索

Children’s Natural Education: Value Pursuit, Realistic Dilemmas, and Path Exploration

摘要: 在现代化的进程中，教育大环境也与时俱进，教育与自然之间的鸿沟越来越大，这提醒我们教育工作需亦步亦趋。自然教育是亟待有效落实到学前教育中的，进行自然教育有利于拓展儿童的认知经验、丰富幼儿的感官体验、培养幼儿的创造思维、增强幼儿的动手能力。当前幼儿园自然教育现状表现为环境中缺乏自然元素、风险规避过剩、自然教育流于形式化三种，从教师、环创、资源、方式四个方面探索儿童本真的自然教育方法，有助于激发儿童的探索欲和求知欲，进一步发展自身的自然性，同时也有助于培养亲自然的儿童和萌发儿童对自然的敬畏之心。

Abstract: In the process of modernization, the educational environment has also kept pace with the times. The gap between education and nature is growing wider and wider, which reminds us that educational work needs to keep up. Natural education is urgently needed to be effectively implemented in preschool education. Conducting natural education is conducive to expanding children’s cognitive experience, enriching their sensory experience, cultivating their creative thinking, and enhancing their hands-on ability. The current situation of natural education in kindergartens is manifested in three aspects: lack of natural elements in the environment, excessive risk aversion, and formalization of natural education. Exploring the natural education methods that are true to children from the four aspects of teachers, environmental creation, resources, and methods can help stimulate children’s curiosity and thirst for knowledge, further develop their naturalness, and also help cultivate children who are close to nature and develop their sense of awe towards nature.
