本研究以創造性舞蹈引導幼兒認知領域之幾何學習。利用創造性舞蹈協助幼兒肢體潛能開發,增加幼兒肢體協調能力以及律動感,並提升幾何學習之成效。課程內容以舞蹈四項基本元素:空間、時間、力量與關係,進行發展並融入幾何之圖形與空間概念,研究對象為4至6歲之幼兒共30名,課程每次實施40分鐘,共16次,總計640分鐘之創造性舞蹈教學。在課程進行時,同時進行教學觀察,並協同兩位觀察員進行課程紀錄,於課後進行學習單評量,綜合以上紀錄以及課堂影片紀錄加以分析,最後提出結論。 本研究結果如下: 一、 創造性舞蹈對幼兒教育於認知發展、肢體動作與情義信念上有其正面意義。 二、 運用創造性舞蹈引導,能提高幼兒學習幾何成效。 三、 教師遭遇的困境包括:協同教師直接示範、幼兒秩序與小組人數控制。在本研究中均獲得適當之解決。 最後依據本研究結果,對學校教師以及未來研究者提出若干建議。
The aim of this research is to applying creative dance to inspire early childhood geometric learning. The application of creative dance will help young children to develop their body potential, improve their sense of rhythm, coordination, and increase the effect of geometric learning as a result. The course is designed according to dance elements: Space, Time, Weight, and Relations to integrate the concept of geometric shapes and space. The participants in this study were 30 young children (4-6 years old). These creative dance classes have been taught twice a week, 40 minutes each session for totally sixteen sessions (640 minutes). The method was to observe the class with 2 other participants; questionnaires were given after the class. Upon analyzing all the records and video recordings, the results of this research are as below: 1. Creative dance has positive influence on cognitive development, body movements and affective domain in early childhood education. 2. Applying creative dance in teaching can inspire the children to learn and increase their sense of geometric shapes and space. 3. Difficulties that educator face: demonstrate by other teachers, keep class in order and group number in control. These problems have been solved in this research. According to the result of this research, the researcher proposed suggestions for teachers and future researchers.
