Organization of civic education in preschool education institutions in China
Abstract
Civic education in the preschool education system helps children to realize their place in the world, develop respect for other people and the basics of responsible behavior, which is the key to successful socialization in the future. In addition, civic education contributes to strengthening the unity and integrity of a country’s society, its success and prosperity. The value of organizing civic education in the world’s leading countries lies in the fact that studying and adopting its best practices contributes to mutual enrichment of experience and improvement of international relations between states. Among such countries, China is of interest, where civic education is given a significant place through all levels of education, from kindergartens to adult education in the informal sector.
In China, there are three types of kindergartens: private, public, and publicly funded. The latter depend on the communities and their geographical distance from large cities. In private institutions, preschool education and upbringing is of a fairly high standard; potential teachers have to go through numerous introductory interviews to get a job in such kindergartens. In other types of kindergartens, there is a shortage of teaching staff.
All types of kindergartens provide civic education at the appropriate level. Cooperation with parents and the public, as well as collaborative education, is actively developing. A five-in-one strategy is being implemented in China’s kindergarten educational spaces, which aims to raise awareness of collaborative education, strengthen the management of collaborative education policies, expand methods for organizing preschoolers’ cooperation, optimize the allocation of resources in education, and improve practical guidelines for collaborative learning..
Civic education is carried out through “immersion education” and “hidden education”. Immersion education involves the development of children’s cognitive abilities, knowledge about the community and its activities. Immersion education is carried out through implicit civic education.
