The Roles of Early Childhood Teachers on Dealing with Epidemics in Schools

Abstract

The epidemic is difficult to avoid and has a wide impact on social systems. Coping with the epidemic in the education system, especially at the early childhood level, it should be of great importance as the child has low immunity. They also have little experience, lack of self-protection awareness and little understanding of the dangers of abstract forms of disease. The role of kindergarten teachers in teaching and learning in educational institution management in order to prevent and control the spread of pathogens in early childhood can be achieved by adjusting the activities of teaching and learning, schedules of daily activities, and other learning activities. In addition, the teachers have to educate students on accurate practice and encourage them to act in self-care and protection, keep their bodies and different equipment clean both in the classroom and outside the classroom in accordance with the context of the educational institution and conformed to the self-defense requirements declared by the government and related to the needs of the child. Additionally, teachers should raise awareness among children in changing their lifestyle behaviors in order to protect themselves from the epidemic. An important concept for immunizing and promoting life skills in children is to cultivate it through the learning process. Kindergarten teachers need a variety of activities to help early childhood learn with fun and to cultivate knowledge, skills and positive attitudes to car for and protect themselves in preparation for the epidemic.
