论儿童哲学探究活动的主题特征

Focusing on the Thematic Characteristics of the Inquiry Activities of Philosophy for Children

在儿童哲学活动中,一线老师经常担心自己和儿童的探究活动主题"不是哲学问题"。通过梳理儿童哲学活动中和主题相关的活动现象,发现儿童哲学探究活动主题可以是文本内部的中心主题,也可以是在文本内部抽象出来的话题,但是最重要的必须是原生于儿童的兴趣话题,并且是由儿童紧密结合自己的生活事件来论证和推进的主题。儿童哲学主题谈话和一般主题谈话的根本区别在于谈话过程中对思考过程的自觉,主题生成关键在于聚焦原生于儿童的"小哲学问题",而不仅仅是专业哲学家们的"大哲学问题"。

In the activities of philosophy for children,some front-line teachers cannot make sure if their and the children＇s topic-related inquiry activities are connected with Philosophy. The paper,through analyzing topic-related activities in children＇s philosophical activities,shows that the topics of philosophical inquiry can either be topics in the text or topics that are abstracted from the text. What is most important is that the topics must be original from children＇s interests,and be demonstrated and promoted with children＇s life examples. The difference between philosophical dialogue and general dialogue is the consciousness of THINKING through the whole inquiry,and the key of choosing and developing topics is to focus on children＇s original little philosophy,but not just the adult philosopher＇s big philosophy.
