作为教育一环的学前教育体现着一个社会的文化价值观。日本是一个既善于吸收外来文化,又长于创造性地继承传统文化的民族,这一特性使其自身文化与外来文化相融并存。日本的学前教育在这种文化背景中也呈现出自身的特点,其价值取向上的显著特征就是让日本儿童保持日本人的品质特征。本文基于《三种文化下的幼儿园》的视角,分析日本学前教育的特点,有助于形成对日本学前教育的准确认识,从而避免对其盲目地模仿和排斥,为我国学前教育发展带来启迪。 Preschool education as a part of education embodies the social values ​​of a society. Japan is a nation that is both adept at absorbing foreign cultures and is longer than creatively inheriting traditional cultures. This feature makes its own culture co-exist with foreign cultures. Japan’s pre-school education also shows its own characteristics in this cultural background. The notable feature of its value orientation is that it allows Japanese children to maintain the quality characteristics of Japanese people. Based on the perspective of “kindergarten in three cultures”, this paper analyzes the characteristics of pre-school education in Japan and helps to form an accurate understanding of pre-school education in Japan so as to avoid blind imitation and exclusion and bring inspiration to the development of preschool education in our country .
