幼兒是全人發展的關鍵時期,也是實施生命教育最好的階段。有效運用繪本於幼兒的生命教育教學中,可以增進幼兒認識自我、發揮潛能、建立良好的人際關係、關心大自然、並開展美好的生命。本文首先於國內碩、博士論文及近年的研討會論文中,收集有關與「生命教育」主題相關的研究,發現近年來許多關於「幼兒生命教育」的實施多以繪本來進行教學與研究設計,在教學過程中卻僅選取某一部份的生命教育向度來實施,因此研究者發現有關如何分析繪本中的生命教育內涵並選擇適合幼兒的繪本來進行生命教育,值得我們進一步探討。 針對生命教育的內涵與概念,本文採用內容分析法,根據教育部九十五年度「發展生命教育之課程與教學指標工作計劃」內容,以生命教育的四個向度(人與自己、人與他人、人與自然、人與宇宙)選取八本「幼兒生命教育繪本」選書,來分析其中的生命教育內涵及教學指標。 透過以上幼兒生命教育繪本的選書,配合幼兒生命教育教學指標的內涵,期待家長與幼教老師能善加運用繪本,相信能讓繪本在潛移默化中增進幼兒美好的全人發展與成長。
Early childhood is not only a critical stage in the all-around development, but also the best stage to implement Life Education. Effectively using picture books in the teaching of children's Life Education can help children to learn about themselves, explore their potential, establish good relationships, care about Nature and live good lives. In recent years, the research and implementation of Life Education picture books put more emphasis on the Primary School Stage and above. How to analyze the content of Life Education in picture books and how to select appropriate picture books for children's Life Education are both worth further exploration. Therefore, the researchers referred to relevant literature and chose eight Life Education picture books suitable for children between 3 and 6 years of age. According to the content of the Ministry of Education's 2006 Life Education development curriculum and teaching targets plan, the researchers based this study on the four dimensions of Life Education, selected the eight ”Early Childhood Life Education Picture Books” and analyzed the Life Education content and teaching targets in them. Sharing the content of Life Education through the above selections of early childhood Life Education picture books and teaching experiences of early childhood Life Education educators, the researchers are looking for better all-around development and growth of children.
