Abstract

The core of embodied cognition theory is how cognition occurs in the body, brain and environment. The nature park curriculum requires children to be their own masters, does not violate the law of children's own development, pays attention to children's personal participation and subject inquiry, and pays attention to the independent inquiry, situational, open and generative nature of the curriculum. The nature-based curriculum based on embodied cognition returns to the participation of children's bodies, and integrates the body and mind to correct the intellectual centrifugal state of the education center and adapt to the high-quality development requirements of preschool education. The construction of this course is based on embodied cognitive science, seeking a suitable path to achieve high quality and long-term development of children.

Keywords: Embodied cognition, Kindergarten-based curriculum, Nature education.
