中国小学教育亟待战略转型——兼论“幼小衔接”应向“小幼衔接”翻转

China’s Primary Education Urgently Needs Strategic Transition——On the Conversion of “the Connection of Kindergarten-Primary School” to “the Connection of Primary School-Kindergarten”

幼儿园与小学的衔接,不能只靠幼儿园来解决.小学教育界应当高度重视小学与幼儿园的衔接问题,主动地去衔接幼儿园,这是考验小学教育界是否具有儿童本位的教育观念的重要尺度之一.真正实现从“幼小衔接”到“小幼衔接”的战略转向,需要确立儿童在教育中的中心地位,需要率先实现另“两个衔接”,即小学界与幼教界的衔接、“大教育学界”与学前教育学界的衔接.如果“大教育学界”能主动对接学前教育界,主动介入学前教育的基础问题研究,那么在当下中国,不仅会有益于学前教育学界的发展,有益于教育原理、教育哲学、课程论的发展,甚或能引起教育学范式的改进.小学教育不惜牺牲儿童的内在发展而追求学业成就,是对童年生活的破坏.中国当前的小学教育学、小学教育制度、小学教育文化亟待现代转型.

The connection between kindergarten and primary school cannot be solved by kindergarten alone. The circle of primary education should attach great importance to the connection of primary schools to kindergartens and take the initiative to connect kindergartens. This is one of the important criteria to test whether primary school education has a children-oriented education concept. In order to realize the strategic shift from “the connection of kindergarten to primary school” to “the connection of primary school to kindergarten”,We need to establish children’s centrality in education and to take the lead in realizing another “two connections”, that is the connection between primary school and kindergarten and the connection between the academic circle of pan-education and the academic circle of pre-school education. If the academic circle of pan-education can actively connect with the academic circle of preschool education and get involved actively in the research of fundamental issues of preschool education, it will not only benefit the development of preschool education circle in China, but also improve the principles of education, the philosophy of education and the theory of curriculum, or even cause the improvement of pedagogical paradigm. The pursuit of academic achievement at the expense of children’s inner development is the destruction of childhood. China’s current primary education ideas, primary education system, primary education culture urgently need modern transformation.
