Abstract
The outdoor independent play of young children cannot be separated from teachers’ observation, which plays an important role in understanding the development of young children and guaranteeing the quality of outdoor independent play. In this study, kindergarten teachers in a school in Changsha City were selected as the main research subjects, and the survey method was used to understand the current status of teachers’ observation ability in outdoor independent play. The results found that the purpose of teachers’ observation lacked relevance, their records were easily subjective, their analyses were superficial, and their evaluation methods and tools were relatively single. Based on this situation, this study proposes suggestions from both teachers and kindergartens to improve kindergarten teachers’ observation ability in outdoor independent play.
