What's the full name of the tour guide?

A guide to learning and development for children aged 3-6.

The full name of the guide is a guide to learning and development for children aged 3-6. The Guide to Learning and Development for Children Aged 3-6 was promulgated on 20 12, aiming at laying a good quality foundation for children's follow-up learning and lifelong development, focusing on promoting the coordinated development of children's physical, intellectual, moral and aesthetic aspects, helping kindergarten teachers and parents understand the basic laws and characteristics of children's learning and development at all ages of 3-6, and laying a foundation for children's learning and development.

The Guide aims to guide the learning and development direction of children aged 3-6 in China, and its essential attribute is guidance and guidance. That is to say, the Guide expresses the country's requirements for early childhood education by guiding the direction of children's learning and development, and prevents incorrect education from leading children's learning and development astray, rather than making uniform provisions or quantitative requirements for the specific level or development mode and speed of early childhood development.

Of course, it would be a good thing if there is a national "standard" suitable for the development of children of all regions and nationalities in China, and all children's learning and development levels are uniformly required and stipulated. However, this is impossible. If this is the case, it means that the development of every child in China should be managed in a standardized way like the production of auto parts. Children who "produce" in both developed and underdeveloped areas must abide by the same standards, otherwise they will be "unqualified products" and "waste products". Education does not mean industry, and the development of children does not mean the production of material products. Mr. Ye Shengtao said long ago: "Education is agriculture, not industry." The growth of each child is just like the growth of different plants, and there are various growth and development trends due to different regions, climates and their own conditions.

The present situation of preschool education in China shows that social development is still in the primary stage of socialism, and the economic, cultural and educational levels vary greatly from place to place, which leads to great differences in the conditions and levels of children's learning and development in different places, and also makes the regional differences of children's development in China far exceed those in developed countries in the world. Therefore, under the current conditions, it is unreasonable and impossible to implement nationwide unified management of children's learning and development with unified specifications. At the same time, we must also see that even in the same area or even in the same kindergarten, the individual development of children will show great differences due to the influence of various factors. If we use the same "standard" to drive all children to "reach the standard", the consequences will be very harmful.

Simplified and modular "standard education" and "people-oriented" preschool education run counter to each other. In addition, under the influence of the one-child family's strong desire for success, the misunderstanding of "standards" is likely to bring great pressure to young children. It is based on a careful analysis of the current situation and problems of preschool education in China, and taking full account of the cultural psychology and thinking habits of the public in China, we decided not to use the word "standard", but to use the name "guide" cautiously to highlight its functions of "guidance" and "guidance".

The difference between "guide" and "standard"

We can analyze it literally in an image way. First, find an object to replace these two words and visualize it.

"Guide" makes it easy to think of "compass"; "Standard" will remind people of a standard ruler with accurate scale and fixed scale. What did these two things give people? Compass, pointing to the south, can let you know the general direction and which direction to go; Ruler, with this strict standard, one centimeter is one centimeter, two centimeters is two centimeters, even if the difference is one millimeter, it is not standard and different. I believe that through the comparison of these two items, everyone should intuitively feel the difference between "guide" and "standard".

"Guidance" emphasizes guidance and guidance; The Code emphasizes unity and stipulation.
