「樂高認真玩」策略促進幼兒學習之啟示

「創新教學」是當前幼教工作者的專業職能發展能力之ㄧ。其目的在吸引幼兒的學習樂趣、激發學習動機、融入持續的學習行為、最終產生最佳的學習效果。「樂高認真玩」（LSP）是幼兒教育中之一項創新教學策略，透過「創新的遊戲」方法幫助幼兒有效地學習，建立未來「帶著走」的能力。本文以「樂高認真玩」之理念為遊戲教學的哲思，設計教學策略。透過二所幼兒園進行為期3個月的「合作式行動研究」，以觀察記錄幼兒學習及訪談二位合作夥伴教師觀察LSP教學之反應等質性資料，進行研究分析。研究發現5點：（1）幼兒透過大量溝通與表達活動進行有效學習；（2）LEGO簡易的操作方法，是幼兒創作的關鍵；（3）手做心動—解決問題，促使幼兒知識建構；（4）幼兒容易從活動中建立學習策略，（5）幼兒能利用LSP「做及說故事」。作者從LSP策略中發展出「兒童樂高認真玩」策略及「締結關係→有意義的遊戲→討論及表達會議→持續遊戲活動」的循環教學步驟。本文希冀能提供幼兒教育工作者一項創新的教學策略及思考，有助於提昇幼兒學習的創意和成效。
