Nature Corner Activities in Kindergartens under the Background of Preschool Education Law of the People’s Republic of China: Value, Bias and Optimization

幼儿园自然角作为幼儿园环境中的重要组成部分，对幼儿的身心发展具有重要价值，规范和保障幼儿的现实需要极为重要。但在当前幼儿园自然角活动中存在环境创设浮于表面，活动囿于自然角本身、教育主体内生动力缺失，实践活动单一化等现实问题，以致幼儿园自然角活动功能日趋式微。在学前教育法背景下，幼儿园自然角活动的开展应基于幼儿发展需要，彰显出活动内在价值、融合五大领域，创设适宜的教育生态环境、加强家园社联动机制，激发教育的生长点等策略予以优化。The nature corner in kindergartens, as an important component of the kindergarten environment, is of great value to the physical and mental development of children. It is extremely important to regulate and guarantee the actual needs of children. However, in the current nature corner activities in kindergartens, there exist practical problems such as superficial environmental creation, activities being confined to the nature corner itself, the lack of intrinsic motivation among educational subjects, and the singularity of practical activities, which have led to the gradual decline of the functions of nature corner activities in kindergartens. Under the background of the Preschool Education Law of the People’s Republic of China, the implementation of nature corner activities in kindergartens should be optimized based on the development needs of children, highlighting the intrinsic value of the activities, integrating the five major fields, creating a suitable educational ecological environment, strengthening the linkage mechanism between home, kindergarten and community, and stimulating the growth points of education.
