【摘 要】陈鹤琴先生指出:“幼稚园需布置一个科学环境,尽可能地领导儿童栽培植物(花卉、菜蔬),布置园庭,从事浇水、除草、收获种子等工作,并饲养动物等……”自然角恰是这样的一个科学环境, 它所摆设的物品不仅有生命力,还具有多样性和变化性,给幼儿带来的是直接刺激感官的体验,为幼儿提供自主观察和不断探索的机会,弥补平时集体活动和其他区域活动中观察、探索不足的缺憾;让幼儿足不出户就能感受到大自然的魅力,充分运用他们的感官看一看、闻一闻、听一听、摸一摸,引发他们探寻科学的兴趣。

【Abstract】Mr. Chen Heqin pointed out: "Kindergartens need to set up a scientific environment, as far as possible to lead children to cultivate plants (flowers, vegetables), arrange gardens, watering, weeding, harvesting seeds, etc., and raising animals..." Nature Corner it is just such a scientific environment. The objects it displays are not only vital, but also diverse and changeable. It brings children an experience that directly stimulates the senses, provides children with opportunities for independent observation and continuous exploration, and makes up for the usual the shortcomings of insufficient observation and exploration in group activities and other regional activities; let young children feel the charm of nature without leaving the house, and make full use of their senses to see, smell, listen, and touch. Arouse their interest in exploring science.

《幼儿园教育指导纲要》(以下简称《纲要》)中指出:“尽量为幼儿创设探索和学习的环境,有效地促进幼儿的发展。”当代的幼儿教育一直在强调环境教育的意义和重要性,让更多的教育工作者意识到:环境对幼儿的成长和发展有着极其重要的影响,年龄与环境的影响成反比,也就是说年龄越小影响会越深刻。因此,怎样为幼儿创造一个符合其身心发展需求的自然角环境,让幼儿能在其中发挥最大的探索性,实现自然角的教育价值,最终达到探索活动与教学活动的整合,成为我们关注的问题。
一、師幼共同创设便于观察、探索的自然角
笔者所在的教室在中间、前后都没有空余的地方给幼儿种植,幼儿开始出谋划策,纷纷提出自己的建议,最后达成共识,将我们的种植区从窗户上垂到窗台上,就跟动画片《哆啦A梦》中的空中花园一样。
