Dewey, Preschool-primary school transition, Children's experience.

The experiential accumulation in the five major areas of kindergarten and the knowledge acquisition in primary school subjects differ significantly in both educational content and teaching methods. The gradient between these two educational stages requires transition education to help children mitigate the learning slope. Dewey's experiential education theory clarifies and reshapes the concept of "experience," aiming to balance the contradictions in traditional education. From the perspective of Dewey's experiential theory, this paper explores the feasibility of preschool-primary school transition education based on the characteristics of experience and proposes practical logic at the theoretical level: defining the starting and ending points of education, following the "map" for a poetic journey, and encouraging children to interact with the environment.
