1
The Prussian government In 1851,
2
a Prussian government feared that Friedrich Froebel's scandalous new approach to education might teach disobedience and lead to peasant rebellion.
3
The name of Froebel's school?
4
Kindergarten.
5
Its controversial curriculum included singing and dancing, gardening, painting and playing.
6
Prussia banned kindergarten, enforcing a strict system of supervised classrooms and government-approved lessons that clearly separated learning time from playtime.
7
And over the next century,
8
the Prussian model inspired public school systems around the world.
9
But while it might seem traditional now,
10
the belief that play and learning are at odds with each other is a relatively new idea.
11
Before the last few centuries,
12
children around the world spent most of their time learning through play,
13
observing and mimicking adults, roaming their surroundings,
14
and sharing what they learn with friends and family.
15
Many communities and educators still believe play is one of the best teachers we have,
16
and they've taken a variety of approaches to keep this kind of self-directed learning alive.
17
In his kindergartens, Froebel provided specially designed toys to help kids learn concepts like volume,
18
density, and even the principles of geometry.
19
And today, Montessori schools continue to embrace toy-based learning.
20
Montessori toys, or materials as they call them,
21
are rigorously designed to isolate and teach specific concepts concepts.
22
For example, to learn math,
23
babies and toddlers might explore dimension with fat wooden cylinders,
24
then unlock more spatial reasoning with a set of pink stackable blocks.
25
Older children tackle a set of brown stairs to learn about height,
26
while a series of red rods reveals the secrets of length and balance.
27
Teachers gently guide this exploration by asking students questions and suggesting material-specific activities,
28
like arranging the rods in order of size.
29
But Montessori classrooms also have a range of ages
30
and low teacher-to-student ratios to encourage students to explore the materials together and learn from each other.
31
Reggio Emilia schools also give students sensory objects to explore together,
32
but they're especially focused on letting the students direct their learning.
33
Every corner of a Reggio classroom is designed to reward curiosity,
34
allowing students to follow their interests and express themselves with a variety of artistic tools.
35
Even when Reggio teachers do assign formal projects,
36
they start by asking students open-ended questions,
37
from how to make a model ship float or sink,
38
to how they should decorate an art studio.
39
Then they design the project to explore the students' assumptions and interests,
40
weaving in their curriculum along the way.
41
Skeptics might argue that self-directed learning lets kids avoid the subjects they're not as interested in,
42
leading some students to fall behind.
43
But most of these schools use an interdisciplinary approach to ensure no subject is left behind.
44
For example, in project-based laboratory schools,
45
the day might start by solving a number puzzle,
46
then using the answers to compose a piece of music or three-dimensional art.
47
By choosing to explore overlapping concepts through multiple projects,
48
teachers can show different practical applications that make abstract ideas feel concrete and useful.
49
In all these models, giving students more agency comes with challenges.
50
Different kids have different needs,
51
so educators have to be sensitive and able to adapt.
52
From rearranging the room to redirecting attention,
53
teachers need to respond to each student while maintaining a safe,
54
playful environment for all.
55
This requires buckets of emotional intelligence,
56
prep time, and trust from both parents and their school's administration.
57
But for many educators and learners,
58
the effort is worth it.
59
A 2023 analysis of over 30 studies found that Montessori education outperformed traditional schools in language and math learning,
60
as well as in developing creativity and social skills.
61
And these benefits go beyond early learning.
62
Many universities are moving from lecture-based learning towards long-term projects and roundtable discussions.
63
MIT's Lifelong Kindergarten tries to extend a playful,
64
creativity-first approach to learners of all ages,
65
giving students a variety of physical and digital tools to explore,
66
experiment, and express themselves.
67
Some architecture and engineering students even use Froebel's special toys to hone their design principles and spatial reasoning,
68
showing that it's not only children who learn through play.
69
As our understanding of play evolved,
70
did the way we play evolve with it?
71
Dig into the games of cultures throughout history with this video to see what has changed and what has stayed the same.

背景与背景

在19世纪,普鲁士政府对教育方法的革新产生了深刻的担忧,特别是弗里德里希·弗罗贝尔(Friedrich Fröbel)的幼儿园理念。在当时,政府认为这种新方法可能会引导孩子们不听话,甚至导致农民的反叛。因此,政府禁止了幼儿园的设立,强调必须有监督的课堂教学,并且严格区分学习与游戏的时间。这种教育理念影响了全球的公立学校系统,逐渐形成了现代教育的基础。然而,玩耍与学习并不是对立的,事实上,玩耍被认为是学习的重要方法,尤其是在儿童早期教育中。

日常交流的五个常用短语

  • 我们来玩吧! (Let's play!)
  • 你怎么看这个? (What do you think about this?)
  • 我不知道怎么做。 (I don’t know how to do it.)
  • 你想尝试吗? (Do you want to try?)
  • 可以再给我解释一次吗? (Can you explain it to me again?)

逐步模仿指导

在观看视频时,运用模仿练习(shadow speak)来提高您的英语口语能力和发音。首先,选择一小段对话,从视频中提取并结合日常交流短语。接下来,您可以按照以下步骤进行学习:

  1. 播放视频的短片段,注意听对话的语调和节奏。
  2. 暂停视频,并逐句重复说出您所听到的内容。这时您可以侧重于发音和内容理解。
  3. 加入积累的短语,再次进行复述,确保您在使用短语时能灵活自如。
  4. 录下自己的声音,与视频中的原声对比,找出发音的差异。
  5. 多次练习该段落,直到您能自信地表达内容并自然使用所学短语。

通过这种方式,您可以有效地提高英语口语练习的能力,利用看YouTube学英语的同时,增强您的发音能力。

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
