摘要

面對21世紀知識經濟來臨，「腦力」是決定勝負的關鍵因素，而幼兒教育是所有教育之基礎，教保人員如何引導孩子進行批判思考，重視孩子高層次思考能力的培育，以因應外在環境之變遷，並將批判思考之意涵融入於教學方法，成為本文之目的。本文旨於探討以「批判思考」融入於教保人員教學方法之運用，透過文獻分析的方式，闡述批判思考之定義與內涵，從其內涵中分析四個層面，分別是教學知識、能力、態度與如何提高幼兒的學習效果，並依四個層面將其精神融入於教保人員進行主題教學之教學方法，發現批判思考對於幼兒高層次思考能力的培育，確有重大價值。上述研究發現與過去研究文獻有所不同。

Facing the oncoming of the knowledge-based economy, ”brainpower” is the key element in determining the outcome. Early childhood education is the foundation of all education, and so the objective of this paper looks at how educators can guide children to think critically and value the nurturing of higher-level thinking in children in order to respond to the changes in the external environment, and to integrate the implications of critical thinking into the teaching methods.This paper aims to explore the integration of ”critical thinking” into the teach in g methods of educators of early childhood, Through analyzing the documents, the definition and meaning of critical thinking is expounded, from which the meaning is analyzed in four levels: teaching knowledge, ability, attitude, and how to increase the effectiveness of children's learning. And through integrating the essence from these four levels into the teaching methods when the educators carry out thematic teaching, the importance and value of critical thinking in the nurturing of higher-level thinking in children is discovered. The above findings are different from what is recorded in the past research.
