美国最大的儿童早期教育家协会,最近在芝加哥举行了一次年度记者招待会,会上许多从事儿童早期教育研究的专家纷纷发表讲话,对美国儿童早期教育的现状表示不安并提出异议。美国儿童心理学家、全国儿童教育协会主席戴维埃尔金德指出,那些渴望把孩子培养成为“神童”的家长往往对学前儿童施以填鸭式的强制教育,这种做法对儿童在德智体三方面的健康发展极为有害。他说,20年前美国人普遍认为早慧并非是好事,理由是“早慧早衰”。20年后的今天,美国人时这个问题的看法来个180度大转弯。当年那句人人皆知的格言如今改成了“早慧旱惠”其实,这种理论的根据很不充足,实践的结果往往是适得其反。
The largest association of early childhood educators in the United States recently held an annual press conference in Chicago where many experts in early childhood education spoke in succession and expressed their unease about and raised objections to the status of American children’s early education. David Elkind, the American children’s psychologist and chairman of the National Association of Children’s Education, pointed out that parents who crave their children as “prodigy” tend to impose preschool-based compulsory education on preschool children, The healthy development of the three aspects of the body is extremely harmful. He said that 20 years ago, Americans generally believed that early wisdom is not a good thing on the grounds that “premature death is premature.” Today, 20 years after the Americans took a 180-degree turn around the issue. At that time, the well-known aphorism of the year was changed to “early wisdom and unequal benefits.” In fact, the basis of this theory is not sufficient, and the result of practice is often counterproductive.
