摘要

受到數位化浪潮逼近的影響，幼兒資訊教學應用開始受到台灣幼教界的重視。運用資訊科技進行多元選擇的學習活動與資源提供，讓幼兒有更多的學習管道與機會來探究複雜之人類社會與自然世界，這對於幼兒教育之發展相當重要。雖然台灣相關研究的起步較晚，實務性應用也不多，且幼教人員對於資訊科技在幼兒學習活動中的價值與重要性未達共識，但此議題之重要性卻不容小覻。爲求更深入探討此課題，本研究以幼兒保育系學生爲主，探討其在個人資訊經驗、幼兒資訊教育，以及幼兒資訊教學應用能力之掌握等想法。從文獻與訪談資料的彙整、分析與探究中，一方面建構幼兒保育系學生在幼兒資訊教學應用之真實圖像，另一方面也提出行動方針供幼兒教保師資培育機構規劃與實踐幼教專業發展之參考。誠如訪談資料所示，幼兒保育系學生大多認同幼兒資訊教學應用之價值，有些學生能提出統整資訊科技、教師專業與幼兒學習之具體教學想法。最後，本研究提出三點建議以建構學生在幼兒資訊教學應用上的專業圖像與實踐，例如提供幼兒資訊教學應用實務之接觸與融入、整合學生資訊素養與幼兒教學專業，以及彰顯學生在幼兒教保專業發展之資訊賦權。
