学前儿童認識因果关系对于掌握因果連接詞和发展語言結构的影响的实驗研究

AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE RELATION BETWEEN THE UNDERSTANDING OF CAUSALITY AND THE MASTERY OF CAUSALITY CONJUNCTIONS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF LANGUAGE IN PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN

一、实驗目的 这一实驗是关于扩大儿童掌握标本事物間关系的詞对于語言发展的影响的实驗研究的一部分。目的在于:(1)探討发展学前儿童語言表达能力的有效途径以期为幼儿园語言教学提供参考意見;(2)探討学前儿童掌握和运用因果連接詞的心理特点。

The present investigation is an attempt to study the relation between the understanding of causality and the mastery of causality conjunctions and the development of language in pre-school children. The experimental results obtained indicates:1) The understanding of causality and the mastery of causality conjunctions varies with age. Generally 5—6 years old children could master causality conjunctiods and it is difficult for 3—4 years to do so.2) The trend of the understanding of causality by pre-school children is: (a) from the reflection of external causes to the discrimination of latent internal ones; (b) from a global reflection of causal relation to a more differentiated and exact understanding; (c) from references to the concrete cause of the particular phenomenon to the reflection of a more general law.3) The mastery of the causality conjunctions (because... therefore) depends upon the understanding of cause-and-effect relation. It is essential, therfore, for children to understand such relations for the development of language in pre-school children.
