归属感与幼儿视角的优质班级环境

Sense of Belonging and Children’s Perspective on Quality Classroom Environment

幼儿园的班级环境对于幼儿的学习与发展具有极其重要的意义。本研究选取两所幼儿园的大班幼儿，为幼儿提供相机，让他们通过拍照的方式呈现自己所喜爱的班级环境，以此了解什么是幼儿眼中优质的班级环境。研究结果显示，幼儿十分珍视环境中包含了“自我”的元素，如自己的照片、物品和作品等；幼儿喜欢环境中有可支持他们亲手操作的元素；幼儿拍摄的照片反映了他们近期的学习经验。研究捕捉到的儿童的声音告诉我们，优质的班级环境应和儿童有积极的互动，应能支持“儿童对环境的归属感”的形成和发展。研究同时证明，儿童有意愿也有能力对班级的环境创设发出自己的声音，应该让儿童积极参与到班级环境创设的活动中来。

Kindergarten classroom environment plays an important role in children＇s learning and development. This study chose the top class children from two kindergartens, and provided them cameras to take photographs of their favorite physical settings in the classrooms, aiming to investigate children＇ s views on high quality classroom. The results show that children value the settings which have children＇ s identity like their own photos, objects and works; they like the settings which accommodate their hands-on engagement; those photos also represent their previous learning experiences. Such findings confirm that quality classroom environment should interact actively with children, and support children＇ s development of a strong sense of belong- ing. The results of the research also show that children are willing and able to voice how they would like to create the classroom environment. Children should be allowed and encouraged to participate in designing and planning their classroom environment.
