幼儿探究学习研究综述

Review of Research on Exploring Learning of Young Children

1999～2006年这八年间关于幼儿探究学习的研究可归纳为四个方面:教师引导下的幼儿探究学习过程的研究,幼儿探究学习的教师指导策略研究,幼儿探究学习中教师角色的研究以及对幼儿探究学习评价问题的研究。通过对以往研究的梳理和评述,我们可以发现这一领域研究中存在的不足:(1)研究内容多聚焦于科学领域及主题活动,不够全面。(2)研究方法多侧重于实证研究,且内容较为粗浅,缺乏理论的提升。这是我们今后在研究中需要注意的问题。

The research on exploring learning of young children during 1999-2006 can be divided into four categories: research on the process of young children’s exploring learning under the guidance of teachers; research on teaching strategies; research on teachers’ role and research on assessment. By reviewing the research in the past, we may find some shortcomings in the research: (1) from the perspective of content, the research focuses more on the scientific subjects and related theme activities only; (2) from the perspective of methods, the research focuses more case studies rather than theory improvement. They are the areas we need to pay more attention to in our future research.
