理解儿童的前提：承认儿童的不可完全被理解

Acknowledging Children Cannot Be Understood Thoroughly Before and During Teachers Understand Children

从学前教育鲜明的儿童中心主义立场出发,教师应尽力理解儿童,然而儿童作为人的无限复杂性及其发展阶段的尚未展开与发展水平的限制决定了儿童不可能被教师完全理解,同时教师作为人的有限性也决定了教师无法达到对儿童的完全理解,这意味着教师理解儿童是一个只有起点而无终点的过程,需要教师克服懈怠,持续努力,并对理解结果持审慎态度,对可能出现理解错误或偏差,陷入以熟悉为理解、以有关儿童发展的科学理论为依据的盲目自信保持高度警觉。只有承认儿童不可被完全理解,教师关于儿童的理解才有可能是完整的,并沿着符合儿童真实的正确方向真正推进。儿童非任何科学理论与教师理解可以完全限定,教师应始终关注真实的儿童,而不是在儿童身上验证科学理论与教师理解及教育的科学性与有效性。

Teachers should do their efforts to understand children in their class,which is the re-quirement based on the educational concept that children are the sun of the education system. But because of children’s unfinished developmental status and the limits from themselves,teachers cannot arrive at the complete understanding of children. Although teachers begin to understand children since they meet the first time,there is no end for teachers’ understanding of children. It’s a long process that need teachers’ sustained efforts and keeping aware of possible faults and blind self-confidence about children.Only acknowledging children cannot be understood fully,would teachers’ understandings of children be improved in accordance with the reality of children. As children cannot be explained and understood thoroughly by any theory about them,teachers should focus on children’s real world rather than prove any theory and education by children.
