本研究以國小四年級普通班兒童爲研究對象,進行十週的團體藝術治療活動方案,探討對融合教育中普通班的身心障礙兒童與一般兒童之同儕關係影響。研究設計採用不等組前、後測實驗設計,以一所國小四年級的班級爲單位,隨機分派實驗組、控制組各一班。實驗組實施「團體藝術治療活動方案」,控制組則依原班之相關課程內容進行。本研究評量工具爲:「同儕接納度評量表」和「國小學童同儕互動關係量表」等,評量所得資料以「獨立樣本單因子共變數分析」進行統計考驗分析。此外,並輔以觀察、學生回饋等方式,進行質性資料蒐集與分析。研究結果如下: 一、團體藝術治療活動對兒童的同儕接納度方面有顯著進步。 二、團體藝術治療活動對兒童的同儕互動關係,有整體進步表現。 三、團體藝術治療活動能增進實驗組兒童,對自己與他人情緒的瞭解,提升對周遭事物的感受力,並從藝術創作表達活動中獲得許多愉快的感覺與經驗,增加自信與溝通表達能力。 基於研究的結果與發現,本研究提出若干教學及研究方面的建議。
The study aimed to explore the effects of group art therapy on children's ability in peer relationship. The twenty-eight participants were fourth grade children in two classes. One class, fourteen students, was assigned to the experiment group, and the other was to the control group. The experiment group received group art therapy activities, conducted one time per week and forty minutes per time for about ten weeks, while those in control group received general art curriculum activities. A quasi-experiment with pretest-posttest control group design was conducted to evaluate the performance of peer relationship. The Peer Relationship Scale as the evaluation tool was took by all subjects before and after the experiment treatment. The results of the measurement are analyzed through the ANCOVA statistic program. In addition, the qualitative methods including observing and feedback were also conducted to collect and analyze data. The results indicated that group art therapy provided an interesting and creative way for participants to improve peer acception and peer interaction relationships significantly. Via the sharing of completed artwork, the children received insight into the emotions of others and themselves, as well as their perceptions of their surroundings. The children received much enjoyment and experiences from the art activities, which strengthened their confidence and expressive abilities. Further discussion was made on the basis of these results in which some suggestions on group art therapy and peer relationships for elementary school children, as well as further researches were offered.
