Side Effects of Gamifying Environmental Education Activities in Chinese Kindergartens

Environmental education is an effective approach to addressing environmental issues,and incorporating environmental education into kindergarten through gamified activities aligns with the concept of gamifying teaching and provides the optimal pathway for implementing environmental education.The purpose of this study is to investigate the specific processes involved in determining the objectives,themes,and content of gamified environmental education activities,as well as the organization,implementation,and evaluation of these activities in kindergarten settings.Five classes from Class G in Xining City Kindergarten were selected as the observational subjects for this study.Interviews were conducted with the teaching staff and the head of the kindergarten.The data obtained from observations and interviews served as the primary data for this research.The results indicate that the activity objectives formulated by teachers lack scientific basis and operability,with limited incorporation of gaming elements.The activity themes and content are narrow in scope and primarily determined by teachers and kindergarten administrators.The organization and implementation of activities often neglect the playful experiences of children,and activity evaluation is not given sufficient attention.

Development of a Suitable,Cultural,and Life-Oriented Kindergarten Curriculum

The technological revolution and the explosion of information have created a diverse world.More and more so-called advanced cultures are entering kindergartens,prompting us to think about how to correctly develop the existing local cultures in the cultural context,while simultaneously accepting and absorbing the appropriate parts of foreign cultures.It is also necessary to maintain a balance between diversity and localization to prevent kindergartens from becoming a“colony”of foreign cultures.The development of suitable,cultural,and life-oriented kindergarten curricula from different perspectives is the focus of such a balance.Only in this way can kindergartens truly fulfill their educational functions and provide a vibrant and colorful environment for children.

Integration of Red Aesthetic Education into Kindergarten and its Practical Paths

Red culture has important educational value.The integration of red aesthetics into the kindergarten provides strong support for children to establish correct values and historical views in the multi-cultural environment,and cultivate their creativity and aesthetic consciousness.Red aesthetic education activities should pay attention to the real embodiment of children’s subjectivity and the deep integration of application and practice.Practical paths of red aesthetic education in kindergarten include art activities,multi-field penetration,traditional festivals,and red aesthetic education environment infiltration.

Discussion on the Construction and Application of Virtual Reality-Based Curriculum Resources for Kindergarten Education

The construction of early childhood curriculum resources serves as a vital vehicle and precondition for the implementation of collective teaching activities in kindergartens.However,traditional curriculum resources based on graphic language or the linguistic descriptions of early childhood educators often fail to provide children with an immersive experience during collective teaching activities,leading to a lack of initiative and interest in learning.This paper discusses the methods for building a kindergarten curriculum resource library and,based on this foundation,employs virtual reality technology for three-dimensional modeling of the library to enrich the curriculum resources in kindergartens.Furthermore,this paper proposes to train early childhood educators in virtual reality technology to enhance their abilities to operate and utilize virtual reality equipment,which can emphasize the children’s central role in the learning process,better achieve educational goals,and improve teaching outcomes.

Reflections on Conducting Kindergarten Language Education Activities Based on Children’s Literature

Chinese Anti-Cancer Association as a non-governmental organization undertakes systematic cancer prevention work in China

Cancer has become the first leading cause of death in the world, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Facing the increasing trend of cancer incidence and mortality, China issued and implemented ＂three-early（early prevention, early diagnosis and early treatment）＂ national cancer prevention plan. As the main body and dependence of social governance, non-governmental organizations（NGOs） take over the role of government in the field of cancer prevention and treatment. American Cancer Society（ACS） made a research on cancer NGOs and civil society in cancer control and found that cancer NGOs in developing countries mobilize civil society to work together and advocate governments in their countries to develop policies to address the growing cancer burden. Union for International Cancer Control（UICC）, Cancer Council Australia（CCA）, and Malaysian cancer NGOs are the representatives of cancer NGOs in promoting cancer control. Selecting Chinese Anti-Cancer Association（CACA） as an example in China, this article is to investigate how NGOs undertake systematic cancer prevention work in China. By conducting real case study, we found that, as a NGO, CACA plays a significant role in intensifying the leading role of government in cancer control, optimizing cancer outcomes, decreasing cancer incidence and mortality rates and improving public health.

The survey of Cryptosporidium infection among young children in kindergartens in Anhui province

Objective：To study the Cryptosporidium infection among young children in Anhui province, and to explore the best way to diagnose the disease. Methods： Stool specimens of 1 204 children were collected; oocysts of Cryptosporidium were identified with auramine O- modified staining, acid-fast staining, safranine T and methylene blue staining, and auramine O-modified acid-fast staining. Results： The detectable rate of Cryptosporidium in four stainings were respectively 2.46%, 1.50%, 1.98% and 3.46%, and there was a higher significant difference in the rate between auramine O-modified acid-fast staining and the others（P 〈 0.005）. The detectable rate was significantly lower in urban children（2.14%, 15/684） than in rural ones（5,19%, 27/520）. Boys and girls had similar detectable rate （1.99%, 24/1 204 vs. 1.50%, 18/1 204）. Cryptosporidium infection was usually subclinical, and its major clinical features included benign diarrhea, mild abdominal pain and nausea. Conclusion：Cryptosporidium infection was relatively common in kindergartens and a higher infection rate was found in rural children. As the majority of the Cryptosporidium infections were subclinical, diagnosis is important although difficult.

Indoor Radon （^222Rn） Concentration Level Study in Child Care Centers and Kindergartens, Using Nuclear Track Methodology （NTM）

As it is known, staying for long periods of time in a place with high concentration of radon is a health hazard. This health risk can be increased into adulthood, if at infant ages the young people grow inside places with important indoor radon levels. Causal associations between exposure level and lung cancer have been demonstrated in epidemiological studies around the world, suggesting that for younger age children groups, the risk coefficient of lung cancer for inhaled radon and their daughters is about a factor of 4 on children from recent born to 10 years old, and 2 for ages between 10 to 20 years old. The aim of this work is to determine the indoor radon levels where infants, from 3 months to 6 years old, remain long times in child care centers and kindergartens. Indoor radon （222Rn） concentration levels were measured in the child care centers and kindergartens of the 16 political administrative regions, covering 5% of the total in Mexico City. This study was conducted over a one-year period, divided into four three-month periods coinciding with the seasons. Nuclear Track Methodology was selected for the measurements, and a passive close-end-cup-device was designed specifically to be used in children places. In this study, the results of measurements of indoor radon concentration in child care centers and kindergartens in Mexico City are encouraging, finding indoor radon levels between 26 Bq/m^3 and 75 Bq/m^3 with an average value of 51 Bq/m^3. It can be considered that the indoor radon concentration levels are low in this type of buildings, due to the benign climate in the city, the architecture design of the constructions, and the ventilation habits of the population.
