ABSTRACT

The importance of a Piagetian approach is recognized in South African early childhood educational practices and teacher training, but the reality of the implementation of teaching and learning in the domain of early years opposes his philosophy in many ways. Our Early Childhood Education policies strongly advocate a Piagetian approach such as the emphasis on cognitive development, play-based learning, placing the child at the centre of learning and recognizing the holistic child. However, South African schools are contextually challenged with a disconnect between teacher training, policy and practice.

重温皮亚杰，他对南非幼儿教育的贡献

摘要

南非幼儿教育实践和教师培训都承认皮亚杰方法的重要性，但在幼儿领域实施教与学的现实在许多方面与他的哲学背道而驰。我们的幼儿教育政策强烈提倡采用皮亚杰方法，例如强调认知发展、基于游戏的学习、将孩子置于学习的中心以及认识全面的孩子。然而，南非学校面临教师培训、政策和实践脱节的背景挑战。
