父母親對幼兒遊戲環境與遊戲材料之觀點探究

本研究之目的在於探討父親與母親對幼兒遊戲環境與遊戲材料的看法，以質性方式進行研究，採用半結構式訪談，研究者訪談6位家中育有入國民小學前幼兒之父親與母親，根據訪談所收集到的資料進行分析、歸納及統整，茲將結論歸納如下：一、幼兒在家庭環境中較喜歡戲劇遊戲跟建構遊戲，在公園喜歡功能遊戲，在幼兒園較喜歡建構遊戲，且合作、平行、單獨遊戲行為在幼兒園與家庭環境中都會交互出現。幼兒的遊戲材料會根據環境不同而有差異，對玩伴的選擇無明顯偏好。二、父母親的童年遊戲經驗會根據生活型態、遊戲材料與遊戲環境的改變，對幼兒造成影響之看法有所差異。父母親認為合作遊戲可以學習人際關係互動，單獨遊戲可以提升專注度及增進想像力與創造力。父母親會注重遊戲環境的安全性與空氣流通，遊戲材料以能滿足幼兒需求、適齡且價格合理尤佳。

The purpose of this study is to explore the parents’ perspectives on young children’s play environments and materials. Qualitative research method and semi-structured interviews were used in this study to collect data. The researcher interviewed 6 parents who had young children. The conclusions of the study are summarized as follows: 1.Young children prefer dramatic play and constructive play at home, functional play in the park as well as constructive play in the preschool. Cooperative, parallel, and solitary behaviors appear interactively in the preschool and at home. Young children's play materials vary according to different environments, and they have no obvious preference for the choice of playmates. 2.Play experiences of parents’ childhood vary regarding their different lifestyles, play materials and play environments, and their perspectives of the impact on young children. Parents believe that cooperative behavior can help young children learn how to interact with people, and that solitary behavior can improve young children’s concentration and enhance their imagination and creativity. Parents pay attention to the safety and air circulation of the play environments. They focus play materials on meeting the needs of young children, age-appropriateness and reasonable price.
