摘要

幼稚園中老師通常較多使用有趣可愛的文本圖書，是否思考過有其他可用的範圍或可教的領域？其中「社會議題」類的圖書不會故意忽略差異，能夠鼓勵孩子問問題、也帶來有關社會公平和正義的討論。這類圖書讓人探討並尊重在文化、階級、性別或種族之間所造成的不同，聽到邊緣人的發聲，更能豐富兒童對歷史和生活的了解。這類書的結論很少是虛無的「從此過著幸福快樂的日子」，而是讓人們相信他們確實可以對社會重要議題表達意見和採取行動。這類圖書多適用於較年長的讀者，對於幼稚園兒童是否可行？社會公益的種子能否及早播下？批判讀寫教育能否施於幼兒？本文即欲探討這類圖書在一所國小附幼教室中實施的歷程與發現，及其所開創的繪本教學的意義與另類可能。
