Play and Child Autonomy: From Motivation to Teaching Strategies
by 郑婉妮博士 Dr Cheng Wan-ni
讲师:程婉妮博士
讲师简介
郑博士现任新加坡华文中心(SCCL)幼儿教育学院院长兼高级讲师。她专长于绘本创作、教学资源本地化以及亲子阅读推广。凭借其深厚的研究背景和对幼儿教育理论的精辟见解,她经常发表前沿主题演讲。她的工作重点在于推广基于游戏的自主学习,鼓励儿童通过探索建构知识,从而提升幼儿华文教育的参与度和影响力。
课程概述
本课程旨在解决现代幼儿教育中最根本的挑战。通过整合心理学中的自我决定理论(SDT)、认知科学中的6C技能框架以及引导式游戏理论,本工作坊将促进教育工作者进行深刻的“教学法转变”。
我们邀请教师们超越传统的管教思维模式,学习如何通过有意识的观察来解读儿童的行为。参与者将掌握“支持性非干预”的艺术——学习特定的支架式教学技巧,从而在有效识别和记录儿童在游戏中展现的高阶能力的同时,保护他们的自主性。
课程目标
1.内化核心理论
深入理解自我决定理论(SDT)、6C技能框架和引导式游戏的核心概念。
2.解码自主行为
学习使用专业工具来观察和解读儿童在游戏中表现出的动机和高水平能力。
3.优化引导技术
认识并减少过度干扰,掌握“支持而不控制”的语言技巧和支架策略。
4. 加强叙述性文档
将观察片段转化为以教育理论为支撑的专业发展档案。
课程特色
1. Professionalization: Making implicit teaching experiences explicit and establishing a professional, shared language.
2. Stress Reduction:Stress Reduction: By understanding child autonomy, teachers learn to release unnecessary power control, lowering professional burnout.
3. Practicality:Practicality: Providing concrete observation tools and guided conversation templates for immediate classroom readiness.
Foundations of Research and Development
The design of this workshop is rooted in three mutually supporting theoretical models, facilitating the transition for educators from "philosophical mindset" to "practical application":
1. Intrinsic Motivation: Self-Determination Theory (SDT)
° Core Concept: Learning stems from the fulfillment of three basic psychological needs: Autonomy, Competence, and Relatedness. When guidance shifts toward "control," a child's intrinsic motivational engine stalls.
° Practical Application: Empowering teachers to reduce reliance on external rewards and instead foster the child's internal drive, enabling them to become self-motivated learners.
2. The Competency Ladder: The 6C’s Framework
° Core Concept: Play is more than just fun; it is a progressive process of skill evolution, ranging from Collaboration to Confidence.
° Practical Application: Providing a professional vocabulary that allows teachers to precisely articulate to school leadership and parents how children develop critical thinking and creative innovation through autonomous play.
3. The Art of Guidance: Guided Play & Scaffolding
° Core Concept: The teacher's role is that of an "environment designer." The essence of guidance lies in building the "scaffolding" and knowing when to step back.
° Practical Application: Exploring the boundaries of intervention. By utilizing "optimal challenge" and "the value of errors," teachers enable children to update their cognitive models through autonomous exploration, leading to deep learning.
