自人類發明語言以來,說故事就存在於人們的生活中,無論是文化傳遞、大眾娛樂、宗教傳播、乃至於教育應用上,說故事都扮演了重要的角色;而故事之所以擁有如此大的功效,和聽故事時對人們產生的心理反應有極大關係。本文經由文獻分析來探討學童在聽故事時產生的心理反應,發現學童聽故事時可以放心地坦露自我,藉由認同故事中的角色,來尋找自己抒發情緒和面對問題的方式。藉此,本文提出故事教學的基本原則:第一、在故事的選取上要符合學童的發展和興趣;第二、在故事的組織方面,必須對故事的結構要素進行分析,將傳達的主題隱喻在故事中;第三、在故事的引導方面,要營造故事教學的氣氛,注意孩童在故事教學中的主動性。善用故事的特質和把握故事教學的基本原則,讓故事教學更具有吸引力,也讓孩童在進行學習時能夠化被動為主動,達到較好的學習效果。
