本研究以開啟生命與教育的靈魂-靈性教育為觀點,特別提出幼兒靈性教育之重要性。本研究之主要目的是以基督信仰的核心理念,依據靈性教育四個向度:「人與上帝」、「人與自己」、「人與他人」以及「人與萬物」為主軸,做為詮釋繪本之依據。針對「道聲」出版社所出版之繪本,依據4-6歲幼兒發展與其學習特徵之適切性,從中篩選出11本繪本,作為本研究文本分析之對象,並採用質性研究詮釋學之方法,針對繪本的主題、內容的角色,以及情境的發展和結果,以聖經核心真理的觀點予以詮釋。 繪本詮釋之結果發現,在人與上帝的向度中,創造的關係、啟示的關係以及生命救贖的關係,是構成人與上帝之關係相當重要的理念。在人與自己的關係向度中,人與自己的關係猶如一面鏡子,當你與自己的關係越好,你就能看見自己寶貴、富足的狀態;若你與自己的關係建立在他人的言語身上,你就會在自己身上看見別人的蹤跡。在人與他人的關係建立中,愛與瞭解是發展良好的人際關係最重要的基本要素。而在人與萬物的關係互動中,就像人與上帝的關係一樣,必須以心靈和誠實來對待,才能明白上帝的慈愛及其所創造的這個世界是如此的榮美,才能真正達到人與萬物平衡與和諧的發展關係。本研究希冀作為家長和靈性教育相關工作者之參考。
This study is to reveal life and the spirit of education in terms of spiritual education. The purpose of this study is based on the essential concept of Christianity, divided into four quadrants: “Human and God”, “Human and Ego”, “Human and Others”, and “Human and Universe” as the core of interpreting picture books. 11 picture books from “Daosheng” publisher were selected to be analyzed in this study ranging from 4 to 6-year-old children and their learning behaviors. Qualitative research method was adopted to interpret the stories’ themes, characters, scenarios, and endings from the truths of Bible’s point of view. At the result of this study, quadrant of “Human and God”, an important idea was formed between men and God at the point of creation, revelation, and salvation of life. Next, at the quadrant of “Human and Ego”, it was found that the relationship between humans and themselves is similarly referred to as a mirror. If you have a good relationship with yourself, you tend to look at yourself as a valuable and prosperous being. On the other hand, if your self-image is established on other people’s perceptions, then you would find their imprint on you. Thirdly, at the quadrant of “Human and Others”, love and understanding are the very basic elements of creating interpersonal relationship. Finally, between the interaction of “Human and Universe”, it is very similar to the connection of human and God and has to be made in spirit and in truth to realize the mercy of God and that the world He created is so glorious and wonderful. Thus, the balance and harmony of humans and all creation can be reached. Hopefully, this study will be a reference for parents and for spiritual education staff.
