儿童视角下中美幼儿绘本的比较

Comparative Study on Children’s Perspective in Chinese and American Picture Books

作为儿童喜闻乐见的早期阅读材料,绘本应体现儿童视角。本研究运用质性分析软件NVivo对幼儿访谈资料进行编码,梳理出儿童视角下的绘本表现框架,然后以此为研究工具对中美各20本获奖绘本进行了文本分析和比较分析。结果发现中美绘本在题材、文字和图画三个核心节点上既有相同的表现又存在差异。绘本评选的标准不同、绘本创作者秉持的价值取向不同、绘本创作模式的不同是中美绘本存在差异的主要原因。今后应明确和完善绘本的评选标准,培养专职的绘本创作者,鼓励并支持他们遵循儿童视角创作更多适合幼儿阅读的绘本。
