摘要
Early childhood character education is a critical element in shaping an individual’s moral foundation and fostering a sense of social responsibility.It plays a fundamental role in overall personal development.Although China’s early childhood character education has made progress with the support of policies and practical exploration,it still faces challenges such as the homogenization of educational models,a formalization of home-kindergarten cooperation,a single-dimensional evaluation system,and a need for further improvement in teachers’professional competence in character education.This paper draws on core theories of character education(e.g.,social learning theory and cognitive moral development theory)and incorporates representative case studies to conduct an in-depth analysis of the current landscape and associated challenges.It proposes innovative approaches,which include establishing a“threefold”system of implementation,enhancing the mechanisms for home-kindergarten co-education,optimizing and ensuring a multidimensional and dynamic evaluation system,equitably allocating teaching resources,and expanding the social support networks.The aim is to offer theoretical reference and practical solutions to promote the scientific and systematic development of early childhood character education.
