摘要:This paper analyzed historical changes in early childhood curriculums from the 19th century to the present. The early childhood curriculum model of the past was based on a modernistic perspective characterized by science,rationality,objectivity,absolutism,and universality. It had been developed in terms of early human resource development to maximize efficiency and rationality for the future. In recent years,however,change occurred in the paradigm of education with the application of phenomenology,analytics,and postmodernism. Newer models for early childhood curriculum include the Reggio Emilia and Developmentally Appropriate Practice,which constitute the current mainstream of early childhood curriculum.
