2021年起，廣州暨大港澳子弟學校（ASJ）為港澳臺僑及外籍人員子女提供學前、小學、初中及高中15年一貫制的優質國際教育，著力于培養具有家國情懷和國際視野的新時代青少年，提供以IB課程為主導的教學體系。

IB課程適用于 3-19 歲的學生，其中PYP課程專為3-12歲學生所設計，涵蓋了中國的幼兒園和小學。它汲取眾多國際學校的優勢，被全世界廣泛認可，是公認的國際教育的領跑者。PYP的課程設計具有充分的靈活性來適應絕大多數國家或地方對課程的要求。它以6個超學科主題為主導，運用在6組學科中獲得的知識和技能。

為什么要從小開始學習IB課程？

從小就開始學習IB課程，能夠為孩子奠定扎實的學習基礎，并且更好地銜接后期階段的學習。從出生到8歲，是一個人發展最重要的時期。在這個階段，ASJ倡導通過“玩中學”的方式為孩子提供學習和探索的機會。幼兒尚不了解學習在他們生活中發揮的作用;對他們來說，教室就是他們生活的所有。

作為接受集體教學的開端，K1的孩子如何適應和融入是一個需要受到重視的問題，也是ASJ的幼兒園“入門教學”的重點。進入學校的集體生活后，孩子們的規則意識以及生活習慣有很大提高以及改善，尤其是K1的孩子，剛開始的幾周對他們來說是一個挑戰，因為他們還沒有“學校”的概念。老師們會通過引導，讓孩子逐步理解“集體”，并學會遵守規則。

今年9月入學ASJ的K1孩子，經過近3個月的學習和生活，他們已經理解和遵守學校的規則，也明白消極行為可能會影響到他人，具備更強的同理心。

IB PYP課程，守護獨一無二

在ASJ的幼兒園課堂，教學都是圍繞著兒童的需求而建立的，因為每位孩子都是獨一無二的，IB課程能夠幫助家庭和教師確定孩子的興趣和優勢，并為學生提供適合他們的發展機會。

ASJ的幼兒園課程，是根據IBPYP設置的，指南提供了制定計劃的基礎，我們會列出學習目標。在設置課程前我們會根據POI進行討論并選取適合兒童的主題進行探究，在探究活動UOI的設計中圍繞著六大跨學科主題，即“我們是誰”、“我們身處什么時空”、“我們如何表達自己”、“世界如何運作”、“我們如何組織自己”和“共享地球”而開展，通過“探究單元”來探索和學習這些具有意義的問題。每一個探究單元都針對與某一個具體的超學科主題相關的“中心思想”。根據每個單元中心思想的范圍，明確了一些探究線索 。

我們根據中心思想和探究線索開展活動，孩子們圍繞著六大探究步驟進行探究，每個活動中滲透著不同的技能和十大學習者培養目標。

在UOI的發現階段中，分小組制作海報——健康的食物和不健康的食物。在這個過程中，大家勇于嘗試、認真思考、相互尊重。在藝術活動的反思階段中，我們合作制作了食物金字塔，探究的過程中學會積極探究、反思。

孩子們在日常的社交活動中也表現出善于交流、尊重他人、關愛他人，且在探究過程中孩子們形成了不同的學習方法，交流技能、自我管理技能和研究技能。

在ASJ，我們尊重每位孩子的獨特節奏，因此老師們都會觀察并記錄下每位孩子的成長關鍵事件，這有助于我們了解每個學生的進步并計劃下一步的學習。老師們還為每個學生提供了一個反映孩子在不同領域發展的作品集，定期與家長分享孩子的成長。

入學三月，沉浸式探究孩子的成長

目前，ASJ幼兒園每個班均配備有英文主教、中文主教、中文教師、保育員，以及科學、體育、美術等多位教師，同時小學部低齡段的師資力量也會下沉到幼兒園擔任部分課程，所有老師都具備相關的資質并且具有多年的經驗。

教學語言以英語和普通話為主，老師會根據孩子們的接受程度選擇教學語言。另外，作為粵港澳大灣區教育體系的一員，粵語是ASJ的教育特色語言，在生活中會使用到，音樂課上也會教授一些粵語歌曲。

ASJ第一批幼兒園學子入學至今已有三月，在老師眼里，他們有哪方面的進步？

1. 學生的探究能力有了顯著提高，孩子們現在很喜歡提問題。一開始，孩子們無法回答這樣的問題：“你想了解這個主題的什么方面？”“你想要通過這個主題學習到什么？”“你還有什么問題嗎？”，但是在沉浸式探究三個月后，孩子們能夠提出很多很有趣的問題，這意味著他們越來越熟悉探究式學習方法，并且慢慢形成探究思維。

2. 孩子們學會了互相幫助和友愛精神。課堂上，老師們會引導孩子在需要幫助時可尋求同學的幫助，如果他們的朋友無法提供幫助，則尋求老師的幫助。IB的十大培養目標之一是關懷，我們引導孩子們善待和理解他人。在大孩子幫助小孩子的時候，我們能看到他們之間的友愛。

3. 通過第一單元的學習，老師還觀察到孩子其他能力的發展以及進步。例如，在第一個單元中，我們在制定大班的培養目標時，主要是善于思考以及全面發展。通過六大探究步驟，思考我們的選擇會影響我們的健康。由此，孩子們反思他們健康和不健康的生活方式，并思考如何調整自己的生活方式來變得更健康。但最重要的是，孩子會將這些學習到的技能運用到他們的日常活動中。

“形成思維”，是幼兒教學中的重要一環，ASJ旨在通過IB PYP課程，全方位促進幼兒的思維能力發展。在ASJ，我們希望每一位孩子都能保持童心，享受童趣，擁抱童年。

Starting from 2021, ASJ provides high-quality international education for the children of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan overseas Chinese and foreign nationals for 15 years, focusing on cultivating young people with feelings of family and international vision in the new era, providing a teaching system dominated by the IB curriculum.

The IB programme is designed for students aged 3-19, while the PYP programme is designed for students aged 3-12 and covers kindergartens and primary schools in China. Drawing on the advantages of many international schools, it is widely recognized around the world and is recognized as a leader in international education.

Why start IB at an early age?

Starting the IB program at an early age can lay a solid foundation for children to learn and better connect them to the later stages of learning. From birth to the age of eight, is the most important period of a person"s development. At this stage, ASJ advocates a "learning by play" approach to providing children with opportunities to learn and explore.

As the beginning of accepting group teaching, how to adapt and integrate is an issue that needs K1 children pay attention to. After entering the school"s collective life, the children"s awareness of rules and living habits have been greatly improved. Teachers will guide children to gradually understand the "collective" and learn to follow the rules.

K1 children enrolled in ASJ in September this year, after nearly 3 months of study and life, they have understood and complied with the rules of the school, also understand that negative behaviors may affect others, and have stronger empathy.

We keep children unique

In ASJ"s kindergarten classrooms, teaching is built around the needs of children because each child is unique. IB programs help families and teachers identify children"s interests and strengths, and provide students with developmental opportunities that suit them.

The ASJ kindergarten curriculum is based on the IB PYP. The guide provides the basis for planning. We will outline learning objectives. Before setting up the course, we will discuss according to POI and select suitable themes for children for exploration. In the design of exploration activities UOI, we will focus on six interdisciplinary themes and explore and learn these meaningful issues through "inquiry unit". Each unit of inquiry addresses a "central idea" related to a specific supramental topic. According to the scope of the central idea of each unit, some inquiry clues are identified.

We develop activities based on central ideas and inquiry clues. Children explore around six inquiry steps, each of which is permeated with different skills and ten learner development goals. In daily social activities, children also showed good communication, respect for others and care for others. In the process of inquiry, children formed different learning methods, communication skills, self-management skills and research skills.

At ASJ, we respect the unique rhythm of each child, so teachers observe and record key events in each child"s development. This helps us to understand each student"s progress and plan the next step. Teachers also provide each student with a portfolio that reflects the child"s development in different areas, regularly sharing the child"s growth with parents.

We explore the development of children

At present, ASJ Kindergarten has 4 teachers, one English teacher, one Chinese teacher, one Chinese junior teacher, and one childminder, all of whom are qualified and have many years of experience. Teaching language is mainly English and Mandarin, teachers will choose the teaching language according to the students" acceptance level. In addition, as a member of the education system of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Cantonese is the characteristic language of ASJ education and can be used in daily life.

What progress has been made by the kindergarten students who have been enrolled for 3 months?

1. There has been a marked improvement in the students" ability to inquire and the children now enjoy asking questions. At first, children were unable to answer questions such as, "What aspects of the subject do you want to know?" "What do you want to learn from this topic?" "Do you have any questions?" But now children can ask a lot of interesting questions, which means they are becoming more familiar with inquiry-based learning methods and developing inquiry-based thinking.

2. Children learn to help each other and the spirit of love. In the classroom, teachers instruct children to ask their classmates for help when they need it, or to ask their teachers if their friends can"t help. One of IB"s ten goals is caring. We teach our children to be kind and understanding.

3. Through the first unit, teacher also observed the development and progress of the child"s other abilities. For example, in the first unit, when we set the training goal of a large class, we mainly focus on being good at thinking and being well-rounded. Most importantly, children will apply these learned skills to their daily activities.

"Let children form their own thinking" is an important part of early childhood teaching. ASJ aims to promote the development of children"s thinking ability in an all-round way through IB PYP course.
