Abstract

Life education holds paramount importance for young children, enabling them to construct their individual lives and realize the value of life in the process of knowing and experiencing life. Kindergartens possess inherent advantages for the implementation of life education, but practical challenges hinder the effective execution of life education within these educational settings. Thus, this study starts from the problems of life education in kindergartens, thereby unveiling the existence of various predicaments in this realm, such as lack of conceptualization of teachers, dearth of comprehensive curricula, absence of a robust evaluation framework, and disparities in education between urban and rural areas. Through a comprehensive analysis of subjective and objective factors, it is believed that the primary determinants can be attributed to the profound influence exerted by the Chinese traditional concept of life and mortality, as well as the paucity of external support within the life education. An exploration into corresponding strategies is undertaken: firstly, enhancing teacher training to augment their proficiency in life education; secondly, standardizing the curriculum content to establish a comprehensive framework for life education; thirdly, devising an evaluative system for life education through multiple assessment methodologies; and fourthly, fostering mutual learning between urban and rural areas to facilitate the localized implementation of life education in both settings.
