幼兒繪本融入鬆散材料之探究教學實踐

Abstract

本研究旨在探討幼兒繪本融入鬆散材料之探究教學實踐為題，聚焦於新加坡幼兒園的華語文教學，在新加坡雙語政策背景下，通過幼兒繪本融入鬆散材料使用探究教學法，以提升幼兒的華語文能力。研究目標對象為新加坡伊橋幼兒學校三歲班幼兒，學校採用瑞吉歐教學法，強調環境為第三位老師，在學習空間的設置上擺放鬆散材料，激發幼兒學習興趣並搭配探究循環，使幼兒不斷探索學習過程延續經驗，透過六步探究循環，分別為起步、發現、整理、延伸、反思與行動，旨在深化幼兒的獨立探究能力。學習目標則依據新加坡教育部幼兒培育署頒布的《培育幼兒：學前母語課程框架》為依據，目的是探究繪本和鬆散材料在幼兒華語文教學中的應用效果，包括探究式教學對幼兒學習的益處與挑戰、鬆散材料在幼兒學習中的融入方式以及繪本教學的歷程與成效，結果顯示出鬆散材料的加入提升了幼兒多面向的學習成效，像是提升語言能力、激發創造力、促進認知發展和增進社會能力。本研究為新加坡幼兒華語文教學提供了一種嶄新的學習方式，同時提供華語教學者參考，並對未來為幼兒教育的創新和發展提供了新的視角和方法。

This study aims to explore the practice of integrating storybooks with loose parts into inquiry-based teaching, focusing on Chinese language teaching in Singapore Preschools. Against Singapore's bilingual policy, the study seeks to enhance children's Mandarin proficiency by integrating storybooks and loose parts in inquiry-based teaching. The participants are three-year-old children from E-Bridge Preschool in Singapore. The school adopts the Reggio Emilia approach, the environment as the third teacher. In the learning space, loose parts provoke children's interest, implemented in an inquiry cycle that continuously extends children's exploration. The six-step inquiry cycle includes turning in, finding out, sorting out, going further, reflecting, and taking action, aiming to deepen children's independent inquiry abilities. The learning objectives are based on the "Nurturing Early Learners: Framework for Mother Tongue Languages" issued by the Early Childhood Development Agency of the Ministry of Education, Singapore. The purpose is to investigate the application effects of loose parts and storybooks in early childhood Chinese language teaching. This includes the benefits and challenges of inquiry-based teaching for children's learning, the integration of loose parts into children'sengagement, and the processes and outcomes of storybook teaching. The results show that the inclusion of loose parts enhances children's multifaceted learning outcomes, such as improving language skills, stimulating creativity, promoting cognitive development, and enhancing social abilities. This study provides an innovative learning approach for Chinese language teaching by integrating loose parts with storybooks and practicing inquiry-based teaching. It also references Chinese language educators and offers new perspectives and methods for future innovation and development in early childhood education.
