在故事中看见孩子:说演故事在儿童哲学中的运用

Seeing Children in the Story:The Storytelling in Philosophy for Children

儿童总是以他最自然的感知去表达对世界原始的惊奇,他们不断说故事,不断叙述他们的经验,以叙事方式呈现他们的思考和智慧。本研究分析了美国幼教资深教师裴利带领儿童以故事说演或故事表演“做”哲学的方式。它是一个历程,在教学活动中孩子利用故事表达自己,利用故事组织自己,又透过戏剧来呈现儿童的故事,进行团体的合作思考,从而探寻自我,将自己和生活世界连结。教师应更重视儿童说演的故事,提供孩子可以将故事视觉化的说演空间,经由故事理解孩子。

Children always express their originality to the world with their most natural perceptions.They keep telling stories,constantly narrate their experiences,and present their thoughts and wisdom in narrative ways.American education scholar and author Vivian Gussin Paley suggested that we should listen carefully to children's story dictation and dramatization-storytelling,so as to enter children's imaginative country and pry into their mysterious world of thought.This study analyzes the way in which Paley"do"the philosophy.It is a journey in which children use stories to express themselves,use stories to organize themselves,and present children's stories through drama,and conduct cooperative thinking of groups to explore themselves and connect themselves with the world of life.Teachers should pay more attention to children's storytelling,provide a space for children to storytelling,and understand them through their story.
