Abstract

Educating kindness for children is an integral part of the personality education process for children, plays an important role in creating the foundation of personality later. In this research, on the basis of inheriting the research results of Kolb and his predecessors, with a viewpoint on theoretical approach to experiential education and consulting with experts, educational administrators and preschool teachers, the author has researched and proposed a model of educating kindness for 5-6 year old children in Vietnam through experiential education, including the following specific steps: Concrete experience; Analytical observation; Concept formation/drawing lessons; Positive test. The model recommended by the author has been experimentally proven in some preschools in Vietnam. The results of the experimental application show that: This model is consistent with the practice of early childhood education in Hanoi and can be applied to many other preschools in Vietnam.
