國小國語科教材蘊含「死亡概念」之探討
A Content Analysis of the Concept of Death Embedded within Elementary Schools' Chinese Language Textbooks
摘要
本研究旨在探討國小國語科教材蘊合死亡概念之情形，根據分析結果，進而提出建議，以供教師援引進行死亡教育隨機教學之參考。研究方法採內容分析法，範圍涵蓋康軒、明倫、南一、因為四版本一五六冊，計二十四本教科書，並以Tamm與Granqvist（1995）提出的死亡概念構面作為歸類指標。研究發現:在死亡概念的層次土，四版本均較偏重「生物性」和「形而上」的死亡概念，至於「心理上」的死亡概念則是比例最少者。另外，在死亡概念的份量上，四版本均有隨年級上升而逐漸增多的雛形出現，然而，形而上死亡概念在一、二、三年級教材中，均有不少的份量比例出現，並未隨著年級的增加而逐漸提升概念的層次。後續研究建議可將其它年級的課本與其它科別的教科書納入研究，並針對詞語所屬之文章背景脈絡與深層內涵進行分析。

The purpose of this study is to investigate the concepts of death embedded in the content of Chinese language elementary school textbooks. Content analysis is employed with death concept system developed by Tamm and Granqvist (1995) as classification scheme.

There are numerous references of metaphysical death concepts across the grade 1-3 textbooks of 4 different editionds, however, they do not increase with increasing grades. According to the results of this study, recommendations regarding death education for teachers and textbook publishers are laid out, and some suggestions for future research are also provided.
