Countermeasures for Teachers Under the Forest Kindergarten Model

Yuanqi Wang, Yuteng Wang

Abstract


With the popularization of the education concept of forest kindergarten in China, more and more teachers and parents recognize
this education model. The forest kindergarten education model is based on nature. Children can release their nature in the outdoor forest, especially in the wild forest, and cultivate their leadership, independence, problem-solving ability and other abilities. In this education mode,
preschool teachers play an important role. They no longer blindly impart professional knowledge, but hope to give full play to the autonomy
of children, so they change from leading to auxiliary people. However, the responsibility of teachers is more significant, and they need to have
more relevant knowledge to play the biggest role of nature for young children. This paper mainly discusses how preschool teachers should
deal with the development model of forest kindergarten.
