基于儿童立场的早期STEAM教育模式本土化探究

Localization Improvement Strategies of Early STEAM Education Model Based on a Child-Centered Approach

本研究基于美国早期STEAM教育模式,结合中国幼儿园STEAM教育活动实际境遇,从儿童立场出发,将原模式从四个阶段嬗变为五个阶段:激发与探索、协作探究、动手实验、设计思维与原型制作、反思与实际应用。这个本土化后的理想模式涵盖了从兴趣激发到实际应用的整个学习过程。案例研究表明,STEAM教育新模式不仅升华了教育实践价值,还为幼儿的自主探究能力、社会情感发展、迭代学习发生、个性化发展以及自我效能感的提升提供机会。

This study is based on the early STEAM education model in the United States and adapts it to the actual circumstances of STEAM education activities in Chinese kindergartens.From the perspective of the child,the original model has been transformed from four stages to five stages:Provocations and Exploration,Collaborative Inquiry,Hands-on Experimentation,Design Thinking and Proto⁃typing,and Reflection and Real-World Application.This localized ideal model encompasses the entire learning process from interest stimulation to real-world application.Case studies indicate that the new STEAM education model not only enhances the educational practice value but also provides opportunities for children’s autonomous inquiry,socio-emotional development,personalized develop⁃ment,iterative learning,and the enhancement of self-efficacy.
