复杂动态系统模型:幼小衔接期儿童学习与发展问题研究的新路径

Model of Complex Dynamic System:A New Approach to Studying Children’s Learning and Development During the Transition from Kindergarten to School

当前幼小衔接领域的研究和实践有明显不足:研究层面缺少复杂性和动态性的深层次探索,实践层面常将幼小衔接问题简化为幼儿园和小学间的差异问题。针对这些不足,通过融合生态系统理论、文化历史理论、以及发展动态系统理论,建立了“复杂动态系统模型”作为一条研究幼小衔接期儿童学习与发展问题复杂性和动态性的新路径,这条路径共分四步走,包括:以复杂动态系统观为认识论基础、确定某一视角或层面的具体研究问题、基于复杂动态系统模型明确思路、以及模型指导下收集和分析数据并回答研究问题。

At present,there are insufficient researches and practice in children’s learning and development during the transition from kindergarten to school.In the research level,few complex dynamic in-depth inquires have been done in this area,while in the practice level,the transition from kindergarten to school is often simplified into the difference between kindergarten and primary school.In view of these insufficiencies,incorporating the ecosystem theory,the cultural-historical theory and the developmental dynamic system theory,this paper puts forward a“model of complex dynamic system”as a new approach to studying the complexity and dynamics of children’s learning and development in the transitional period.The approach consists of four steps,namely taking the complex dynamic system view as the epistemological basis,identifying specific research questions from a certain perspective or level,clarifying ideas based on the complex dynamic system model,and collecting and analyzing data and answering research questions under the guidance of the model.
