Abstract

The Reggio Pre-school encourages children to apply to the various object in order to reveal their thoughts. Because such implements have distinguished features and the infants who use these implements recognizes them differently. The Reggio Emilia respects individual way of thinking and personal experiences of each infant. To overcome individual differences, it applies 'Zone of proximal development' which Vygotsky suggested and assists the self growth of the infant by scaffolding; its theory is 'Multi-symbolic approach'. Multi-symbolic approach builds up 'Emergent Curriculum' which gives rise to interests of children on the system of relation. Emergent curriculum is composed of the role of the teachers called 'progetazzione', who observe the actions of children, negotiate with these data, build a construction and design a plan. It is one of method that is making up education. In the educational environment and process designed by emergent curriculum, children compose various activities to solve "cognitive conflicts". It is 'Project Approach' that is constituted educational method focused on the activities of children. Like this, the integrated activity is accomplished by supports of the teachers and experiences of children. And the infants are able to observe various features of objets in the studio called Atelier, receive the help of Atelierista to add artistic expression to visual objets. Artistic factors motivate the interests of children and maintain their activities. In the Reggio Emilia, visual representation is used to concrete their thoughts within the experiences. this is processed by the symbolizing period. Passing the period, the infants look back, reflect and re-recognize their experiences by variously representing and recording works, and re-represent repeatedly. Processing the reflective thinking, children reach to cognitive and emotional expansion, the meta-symbolic experience which produce another symbol with a primary symbol; the symbol which leads a symbol. This whole curriculum is "Multi- symbolic approach" and the education proposed in Reggio Emilia.
