幼儿教师和学前教育师范生对幼教情怀的认知:基于词语联想测验的分析

Early Childhood Teachers'and Preschool Education Teacher Trainees'Cognition of Early Childhood Education Sentiments:An Analysis Based on the Word Association Test

教育情怀是教师的核心素养,了解幼儿教师和学前教育师范生对幼教情怀的认知,有助于教育者对幼教情怀的共同理解以及在幼教师资培养培训中科学地培育幼教情怀。借鉴心理词汇研究范式,对521名幼儿教师和529名学前教育师范生进行“与幼教情怀相关”和“与幼教情怀无关”的词语联想测验,获取相应的特征词;对两类特征词分别归类,构建网络关系图,直观呈现其中心节点和典型关联。经卡方检验,两类研究对象对幼教情怀的认知总体趋于一致。研究结果表明,研究对象对幼教情怀的认知体现了幼教情怀的多维结构,以“关爱”为中心的情感支持是幼教情怀的核心心理成分,但研究对象对幼教情怀的认知存在一定的局限和偏差,需通过培养培训强化幼儿教师和学前教育师范生对幼教情怀的理性认知,引导其在积极的情感体验中领悟幼教情怀的真谛,通过实践修习和交流反思涵养幼教情怀,在尊师重教的环境氛围中升华幼教情怀。
