Comment On The Evolution of Preschool Education
Nursery schools were born with purely welfare purposes and their evolution has
been slow until reaching the current educational kindergartens.
Its evolution was carried out through stages, each of them very well defined.
Care Instructional Stage.- Here the first schools flourished in the middle of
the 18th century, with the “Darmen Schools”, the “Children's Homes” and
the “Playful Schools”, all of these institutions were intended to collect
children from the most vulnerable families. humble This stage had a double
purpose to protect children from vagrancy and begging. Its merely assistive
nature was, therefore, very marked.
Educational Stage.- In 1837 Federico Froebel opened his first kindergarten
in Blankenburg, Turgia, so pre-school education itself began. From this
moment on, a true revolution begins that pursues educational purposes
through play, the education of the senses.
Currently: This education is the fruit of the teamwork of various professionals for
the well-being of pre-school education.
Preschool education as a problem that concerns all governments has become
internationalized.
We can say that children born in the last decade of the 20th century are the first
generations born and socialized under the idiosyncratic cultural forms arising
from the omnipresence of digital technologies.
For this reason, an important educational goal should be the training of users who
are aware of the use of technology.
DEFINE THE CONCEPT OF PRE-SCHOOL EDUCATION.
It is the set of actions that the adult exercises to contribute to the development of
the child, creating necessary conditions for their well-being until they achieve
independence and their own identity.
Social Reasons: In a large number of cases, the family today has fewer and
fewer possibilities to adequately attend to the education of their children. The
incorporation of women into professional life, the physical and cultural
conditions in which many families operate, are factors that require centers that
welcome children from an early age and replace to a certain extent the family
function.
Four essential learning and competencies are specified for the education of the
future.
1. Learn to know : Oriented towards the fact that education should enable
each person, from childhood, to learn to understand the world around
them, to live with others. The pleasure that being able to understand,
know and discover produces in every human being is justified.
For the diagnosis of the child's personality, there are techniques that have been
studied that gave optimal results:
The interview technique: This technique will be used directly on the child, but
accompanied by his mother.
This technique will help us collect not only psychological but also
chronological data. For the interview to be satisfactory, language
appropriate to the child's age must be used and the interview will be
carried out following a guide of questions for the child.
The program has a national character, which means that in all preschools it must
be carried out either in public or private institutions.
In each grade, activities with different levels will be designed and the
achievements achieved by the children will be considered.
The relationship life that surrounds the child begins through the senses, since from
the sensations the child begins to build his or her own ideas; That is why, from the
beginning, guidance is necessary in the interpretation of sensory impressions.
Like, the child from a very young age feels attraction for everything that is close to
him and has enough sensory stimulation to capture attention and stimulate the
corresponding sensory organ. He sees the objects, he wants to pick them up, put
them in his mouth, hit them, examine them, drop them...
At the age corresponding to preschool education, the child is already in a position
to process information, this capacity being essential for adaptation and survival.
The educator is obliged to put the greatest effort into the orderly and coordinated
presentation of everything that children can perceive, making sensory education
the most important part of the curriculum at this pre-basic level.
Provide contact with nature, with plants, animals, teach them and see their
evolution.
Teach them to become independent.
Play mini chef with them.
Use buttons, bottles, cubes of different shapes and sizes for him to classify.
Carry out small experiments where they participate very actively.
Let them use their creativity with paints and brushes.
Let them feel the materials before using them.
To play outdoors.
Encourage him and value his work.
Let them build towers of different sizes.
Taking into account that all our senses are very important for the development of
our daily lives, especially in children who are in school, that is why we teachers are
called to teach children the care and hygiene of all our senses, so that children
receive quality learning.
