童眼看世界——以拍照法探究幼儿视野中的幼儿园

The World in Children’s Eyes——Exploring Kindergartens in Children’s Vision by Photographing

拍照法可以帮助研究者获取幼儿对自己生活的观点,对凸显幼儿的主体性有重要意义。运用拍照法收集幼儿所拍摄的照片,并结合质性观察及访谈分析幼儿所拍摄照片的异同,考察幼儿如何看待他们的教育环境。研究结果发现,就整体拍摄内容来说,环境多于人物,其中人物以“同伴”最多,环境中以室外的“墙面装饰”为主,其关注内容有年龄及性别差异。故应基于幼儿的需求进行幼儿园环境创设,尊重不同幼儿特质与经验的差异性。

Photographing can help researchers acquire the views of children on their own lives and is of great significance to highlight children’s subjectivity. This paper uses the photography method to collect the photos taken by children, combined with qualitative observation and interviews, analyze the similarities and differences of their photos, and investigate how children view their educational environment. The results show that the shooting content is more about the environment than the characters, in which most characters are companions, and the environment is mainly about decoration of walls, and the attention content has age and gender differences. Therefore, it is needed to create the kindergarten environment based on the needs of children, and respect the differences of children’s characteristics and experience.
