本研究主要探討幼兒科技玩具使用之現況、家長對於幼兒科技玩具使用的態度。進而探討家長對幼兒科技玩具使用的態度是否會因幼兒、家長的背景變項的不同而有所差異。 本研究在台中市發出520份問卷,問卷回收415份。研究工具是依據相關文獻及研究,所編成「幼稚園家長對幼兒科技玩具使用態度之研究」之問卷,將科技玩具態度分為「發展適切性」、「功能設計特色」、「安全堅固性」等三個層面,再將問卷資料經「平均數」、「標準差」、「卡方考驗」、「t考驗」、「單因子變異數分析」來進行統計分析。 本研究結果得到下列各項結論: 一、 大部分的幼兒(約82.32%)是有使用科技玩具,而且多數是在48 個月之後,才開始第一次使用科技玩具。大多數幼兒(約65.1%)最喜愛的玩具還是以非科技玩具類的玩具為主;擁有的玩具中,也以非科技玩具類的玩具較多。 二、幼兒家長對於幼兒科技玩具使用之「發展適切性」、「功能設計性」的態度趨向正面、肯定;但是對於科技玩具的「安全堅固性」態度是趨向負面、質疑。家長選購玩具的考量因素以科技玩具的安全性為優先考量,最後是考慮科技玩具的價格。 三、不同教育程度的家長與幼兒科技玩具使用具有差異。 四、幼兒的年齡、家中幼兒是否手足、家長的教育程度及家長的童 年使用科技玩具的經驗與其家長對科技玩具態度具有差異。 五、家長對幼兒科技玩具使用態度在於幼兒科技玩具使用的之差異情形。
