国外近10年幼小衔接理论研究综述

Review on Theory of Transition from Early Childhood Settings to Formal Schooling over Past Decade

鉴于幼小衔接对儿童发展产生的重要影响，近10年来，国外研究者对幼小衔接进行了深入系统的理论研究和思考，众多研究者主要从生态学理论和社会文化视角对幼小衔接的本质及其动力学原理进行探讨。本文通过对幼小衔接相关理论探讨，试图进一步深化我们对幼小衔接的认识，同时关注幼小衔接生态学理论和社会文化理论的有关研究，还为我们开展有关幼小衔接的研究和教育项目提供了一定的启示：要注重儿童所处生态系统的影响，增强各因素之间的联系和合作，重视儿童主体的作用，同时也要关注幼小衔接的[生态性]。

Over past decade， foreign scholars have investigated on the concepts and theories of transition systematically. Through review some important theoretical researches on transition in English， this article provides a comprehensive understanding of transition. Furthermore， the discussion of Ecological and Socio-cultural perspectives on transition can possibly facilitate transition researches and practices by offering important inspirations. These inspirations include：firstly， adequate attention should be paid to the ecosystem which children live in; secondly， relations among the contexts should be strengthened; thirdly， the children’s active involvement can not be neglected; and lastly， transitions should be rooted in appropriate ecosystem.
