摘要

本研究聚焦於幼教人員運用社會多樣性檢視幼兒學習活動的想法，批判幼兒學習活動所鑲嵌的社會偏見或刻板印象之負面內容，轉化幼教人員實踐適性教學策略以協助幼兒對社會多樣性的認知及思考。為探究幼教人員對幼兒學習活動的社會多樣性思考之認知態度及批判想法，研究者運用觀察蒐集幼兒學習活動裡與社會多樣性教學實務有關之學習事實，批判內嵌的社會不平等內容之學習經驗；並結合幼教人員的訪談資料，探討其運用社會多樣性思考批判幼兒適性學習活動的實務作為。研究結果指出幼教人員認同社會多樣性對幼兒學習活動的鷹架輔助價值，但受限於幼教人員本身對社會多樣性的理解程度與自我覺察意識賦權脈絡，仍需從學習主體性與實踐行動性來解構和重構幼兒學習活動之社會多樣性論述實踐。最後，研究者基於研究結果提出建構幼教人員實踐社會多樣性的教學省思與專業實踐之行動圖像，以為學術社群與幼教相關單位連結社會多樣性實踐幼兒學習活動之教學革新策略參照。

This study focused on early childhood educators' perceptions about young children's learning activities by the analysis of social diversity. This study explored early childhood educators' cognitive attitudes and critical thoughts about learning activities for young children from the viewpoint of social diversity. The researcher employed the observation method to collect instructional information of learning activities and learning facts of social diversity in early childhood educational context, and checked and criticized the learning experiences embedded in the social inequity. The researcher also used the interview method to explore the practices of appropriate learning activities by the critical and practical viewpoint of social diversity. The results presented that early childhood educators acknowledge the scaffolding value of social diversity for young children's learning activities. They had the limited understanding and self-awareness for social diversity in the empowerment context, and had to do more actions to deconstruct and reconstruct the discourse praxis of social diversity by the learning subjectivity and practical agent. Finally, the researcher provided the academic community and the relevant early childhood education units connecting social diversity into practicing the reference instructional innovation to do more young children's learning activities.
