皮亚杰“守恒”概念及其对我国幼儿园开展数学活动的启示

Piaget’s Concept of “Conservation” and Its Implications for Mathematics Activities in Chinese Kindergartens

摘要: 瑞士著名心理学家皮亚杰的认知发展理论对全球儿童教育产生了深远影响。其中，“守恒”概念是其理论的核心之一，它揭示了儿童逻辑思维发展的关键里程碑。本文首先阐述了皮亚杰守恒概念的基本内涵及其在儿童认知发展中的重要地位。随后，深入分析了当前我国幼儿园数学活动中存在的普遍问题。在此基础上，重点探讨了皮亚杰守恒概念对我国幼儿园数学活动在活动目标、教学形式及教学评估等方面的具体启示，旨在倡导一种尊重儿童认知发展规律、以培养逻辑思维和解决问题能力为核心的数学教育模式。

Abstract: Jean Piaget, the renowned Swiss psychologist, has profoundly influenced global early childhood education through his theory of cognitive development. Among its core concepts, “conservation” represents a key milestone in children’s logical thinking development. This paper first outlines the fundamental meaning of Piaget’s conservation concept and its significant role in children’s cognitive development. It then critically examines common issues present in current mathematics activities in Chinese kindergartens. Building on this analysis, the paper focuses on the specific implications of Piaget’s conservation concept for kindergarten mathematics instruction, particularly regarding activity objectives, teaching methods, and assessment practices. The aim is to promote a mathematics education model that respects the natural patterns of children’s cognitive development and emphasizes the cultivation of logical reasoning and problem-solving abilities.
