Abstract

In the future development of rural preschool children, learning competency absolutely occupies an important position. Many studies have also shown that learning competency is closely related to the physical and mental development, school preparation and other aspects of rural children. Even many countries in the world have put forward similar initiatives in their own education strategies, that is, "pay attention to the cultivation of learning competence of children in rural areas". Learning competency is not a skill that can be acquired by special training. It is a skill that children can continuously accumulate and improve in the daily life and teaching of children's kindergarten, especially in the game situation. This study took construction games in rural kindergartens as the investigation situation, investigated the performance of children's learning competency, and tried to summarize the influencing factors of children's learning competency training. It aims to enrich relevant theories and achievements, respond to the current call for quality education and high-quality personnel training, and provide useful suggestions and help for the smooth connection between rural preschool education and primary education.
