近年来,早期教育愈来愈受到幼儿家长的重视,各种各样的做法相继出现,如教幼儿背诗、识字、数数、弹钢琴、绘画等,期望子女早点走上成才之路。这其中有的初见成效,但是也有不少事违人愿。失败的原因固然很多,但其中有一点十分突出,即教育者没有考虑到儿童心理发展的成熟程度——机体(特别是神经系统和内分泌系统)生长发育的情况,对儿童实施的是不适时、不适宜的早期教育。早期教育必须考虑到儿童心理发展的成熟,这样教育效果才会显著。著名心理学家格塞尔曾做过爬梯实验。他训练双生子C和T爬梯子,T从出生后第四十八周起每日作十分钟的爬梯训练,这样连续六周。在这期间,C不作爬梯训练,直到出生后第五十三周才开始接受同样的训练。结果C只接受两周的爬梯训练,就达到了T的水平。据此,格塞尔认为,不成熟就无从学习。他还说,我们不应该强迫儿童进入我们预先决定的设计,而应该遵循成长所表现的基本生物 In recent years, early education is increasingly valued by parents of young children. A variety of practices have emerged, such as teaching young children’s poems, reading words, counting numbers, playing the piano and painting, and expecting their children to embark on the road to success sooner. Some of these have achieved initial success, but there are many things that are contrary to human wishes. Although there are many reasons for the failure, one of the highlights is that educators did not take into account the degree of maturity of children’s psychological development - the growth and development of the body (especially the nervous system and endocrine system) are not implemented in children Timely, inappropriate early education. Early education must take into account the psychological development of children mature, so the effect of education will be significant. Gesell, a famous psychologist has done a ladder experiment. He trained twins C and T to climb ladders, and T exercised ten minutes a day of ladder training from the fortieth week after birth for six weeks in a row. During this period, C did not exercise as a ladder and did not begin to receive the same training until the 53rd week of life. Results C only received two weeks of training ladder, reached the level of T. Accordingly, Gesell believes that immature can not learn. He also said that we should not force children into our pre-determined design, but instead should follow the basic creatures that growth shows
