学前儿童经济素养教育:价值、内容与途径

Exploration on the Value,Content and Approach of Economic Literacy Education for Preschoolers

学前儿童经济素养教育属于幼儿园社会领域教育内容,目前许多国家已形成完整的学前儿童经济素养教育体系,但在我国尚未引起学界足够重视。培养学前儿童的经济素养,有利于帮助其萌发正确的金钱观、消费观和人生价值观,从儿童终身发展的角度而言既是必要的也是可行的。本研究在借鉴国外学前儿童经济素养教育理论与实践的基础上,考虑我国学前儿童身心发展、生活与成长的实际情况,构建了包括"一个中心、两个背景、三个方面"的学前儿童经济素养教育模型,提出经济素养教育应坚持以儿童为中心,体现以儿童为本的思想;经济素养教育内容的设定应以儿童日常生活、社会经济发展为背景,从实际出发、与时俱进,包含货币及其使用、商品(或服务)、资源的稀缺性三个方面的具体内容。幼儿园可以利用社会领域综合主题活动、区域活动、全园图书漂流活动、节假日活动,以及借助家长资源等多种途径与方法对学前儿童进行经济素养教育。
