Reasons and Countermeasures of Utilitarian Orientation in Kindergarten Education Scientific Research

Abstract

In recent years, with the state’s emphasis on preschool education and preferential policies, it has become a consensus to promote the quality of education through scientific research. The scientific research of kindergarten education has witnessed unprecedented prosperity.However, driven by external forces such as professional title assessment and year-end assessment, the scientific research of kindergarten education has emerged a utilitarian orientation, which is manifested in the research purpose derived from external drive, divorced from reality and application, and the research results directed to the publication and quantity of papers. This paper tries to reflect on the utilitarian orientation of the current scientific research of kindergarten education, point out its causes and disadvantages, and propose possible ways and directions for improvement based on this.
