中国近代乡村幼儿教育的起步与发展

The Beginning and Development of Rural Preschool Education in Modern China

近代中国乡村学前教育的发展大体分为三个时期。清末时期，学前教育机构首次出现在学校系统中，但尚未涉及到乡村。北京政府时期，尤其是五四运动及1922年新学制的颁布，乡村学前教育兴起，并取得较大发展。南京国民政府时期，乡村学前教育获得较好的外部环境支持，发展较迅速。回顾这一历程，政府的政策与财政支持、教育家办学及注重教育科学实验是乡村学前教育得以发展的重要因素。

The development of rural preschool education in modem China is roughly divided into three periods. At the end of Qing Dynasty, preschool education institutions first appeared in the school system, but did not extend to the countryside; during the period of the Beijing Government, especially after the May Fourth Movement and the promulgation of the new academic system in 1922, rural preschool education had a great development; during the period of the Nanjing National Government, rural preschool education gained a better external environment and developed rapidly. Looking back at this process, we can find that government＇s financial support, educators running schools and focus on educational scientific experiments are three important factors in the development of rural preschool education.
