城乡家长对幼儿园期望的比较

Comparative Research on Urban and Rural Parents' Expectations of Kindergartens

本研究对来自山西省5个地区11所幼儿园的412位家长对幼儿园教育的理解与期望进行了问卷调查,研究结果显示:城乡家长均肯定幼儿园教育的价值,并都希望幼儿园能在促进幼儿发展上发挥更大的作用,但受城乡家长文化水平、职业地位与家庭经济收入等背景因素的影响,城市家长对幼儿园教育价值的理解更多看重儿童的全面发展,而乡镇家长更希望借助教育改变孩子的命运,因此更希望幼儿园多教知识与技能。针对城乡家长的不同理解与期望,城乡幼儿园应有针对性地开展家长工作,以保证城乡幼儿都能获得全面和谐健康的发展。

412 parents from urban and rural areas in Shanxi province were investigated, and the results showed that their understandings and expectations of kindergarten education have similarity and difference. On the one hand, they both agree on the values of kindergarten education. On the other hand, parents from rural areas pay more attention to children＇s acquiring practical knowledge and skills while parents from urban areas give more hope to children＇s whole development.
