Exploring the Connotation and Teaching Strategies of Deep Learning in Early Childhood Education

Abstract

In response to global trends in early childhood education, Chinese early childhood education have recently shifted from emphasizing ‘what to learn’ to ‘how to learn’, which was viewed as a means to enhance the efficiency of children’s learning and development. Accordingly, as a problem-solving-based learning process, deep learning has progressively drawn the interest of ECE researchers and practitioners. This study presents the definition and connotation of deep learning in early childhood education, as well as the teaching strategies that foster high-quality learning.
