英国BEAM幼儿数学:操作性学习及其具体实践

British BEAM Child Math: Operating Study and Teaching Practice

数学是幼儿园课程的重要领域。如何在培养儿童数学兴趣的基础上,训练儿童的思维,提高儿童的数学知识是全球面临的一个教育难题。英国的BEAM数学突破传统课程开发的技术理性,改变枯燥的数学学习,寓教于乐,不仅让儿童在操作性学习中获得了大量的数学知识,而且促进了儿童数学思维和情感的积极发展。基于我国幼儿园数学教育现状的思考,应从以下几个角度重建我国学前幼儿数学教育:注重幼儿学习的主体建构、创设丰富的操作环境、关注数学教育生活化等。

Mathematics is an important subject of preschool education. How to train the children＇s thinking and improve their mathematical knowledge on the basis of developing the children＇s interest is a educational problem facing all the world. The BEAM math in Britain has broken mathematical technology of the traditional course development, which has changed the boring study of math and put games into study. BEAM math can not only make children gain plenty of mathematical knowledge by operating study, but also stimulate the development of children mathematical thinking and emotion. Considering the present situation of preschool math in China, we should reconstruct it from the following aspects; paying attention to children＇s self - construction, creating rich operating environment, and noticing math education in our life etc.
