幼儿园教师的科学精神与科学教育意识

On Kindergarten Teachers’ Scientific Spirit and Science Education Consciousness

科学精神是现代人应当具备的基本品格,是儿童必须发展的基本素养。儿童科学精神的形成有赖于教师的引导,这使得科学精神必然是幼儿园教师专业素养的重要组成部分。具体来说,幼儿园教师应当具有求真精神、质疑与批判精神、探究精神。在开展科学教育活动的过程中,幼儿园教师应善于将自身的科学精神转化为有效的科学教育意识,将自己对科学价值的理解与认同转化为推动幼儿科学活动开展的精神动力,支持幼儿自由、自主、自在地进行科学体验和科学探索,使幼儿在教师科学精神潜移默化的影响下,逐渐养成敢于求真、勇于探索的科学精神。

Scientific spirit is the character that children should have.Children need teachers’guidance and education to have such character,which means that kindergarten teachers themselves should have scientific spirit.To teachers,seeking truth,questioning and criticizing,and inquiry are the necessary ingredients of scientific spirit.When organizing science education in kindergarten,teachers should be good at turning their scientific spirit into a kind of science education consciousness that can make teachers support children’s free exploration and experience,from which children’s scientific spirit originates.
