臺灣學齡前兒童休閒活動參與之調查研究

目標：本研究旨在瞭解臺灣學齡前兒童休閒活動參與現況及其影響相關因素。方法：本研究資料來源為日本早稻田大學前橋明教授所提供『臺灣幼兒生活習慣調查資料庫』，抽取臺灣地區滿3~6足歲6244位(男生3321位、女生2923位)學齡前兒童為研究對象。研究中採用卡方檢定與多變項羅輯斯迴歸進行資料分析。結果：（一）約46.36%學齡前兒童休閒活動參與時間≤30分鐘、約65.47%學齡前兒童休閒活動參與類型是以靜態活動為主、以「畫畫(54.60%)」和「看電視(52.47%)」為較常參與休閒活動，而休閒活動場所排名第一名為在家中(94.04%)；（二）性別、居住地區、玩伴人數及有無才藝課程與學齡前兒童休閒活動參與時間和類型上有顯著差異，而不同年齡則無顯著差異；（三）主要影響學齡前兒童休閒活動參與時間和休閒活動參與類型之顯著因子包括：性別、居住地區、玩伴人數及有無才藝課程。結論：臺灣約有九成四左右的學齡前兒童主要休閒場所則傾向待在家中，約有五成左右以從事畫畫或看電視的靜態休閒活動為主，因此建議宣導休閒活動參與在學齡前兒童發展重要性的觀念，並鼓勵家長參加親子休閒活動課程，以建立正確的休閒活動觀念。
