兒童所知覺的課程及其課堂生活探究 The Inquiry for Curriculum Awareness and Life in Classroom of Children

Abstract

課程改革的大旗揮舞了多年，究竟兒童對課程知覺為何？兒童在學校如何過生活？從早上八點到下午四點，孩子如何經驗課程？如何覺知課堂？課堂是孩子在學校生活中停留最久的地方，兒童在課堂的身影與心理的狀態，很少主動告訴成人，而成人也鮮少進行理解。本研究透過訪談四所小學96位學生，了解兒童所知覺的課 程及其所經驗的課堂生活。研究發現，兒童對不同學科有既定的刻板印象，而教師的教學流程，兒童也都心知肚明；兒童的上課生活充滿著被控制與無奈，他們能做的是勉強自己去面對；少部分的課堂生活則有著好奇與探索，引領孩子更寬廣的學習。兒童對課程的喜好，除了內容因素，也和學習的方式有關。而在課堂生活方 面，常常是喜悅與恐懼參半，有意義的學習與填充式學習並存。從本研究所得也讓我們看見，即使課程政策推動強調學生中心與主動學習已經行之多年，但是，實際的教育現場還是有一大段努力的路要走。 How have the several-year curriculum reform added to children’s understanding of courses? How do they spend school days? What is their classroom experience? Classrooms are the main venue for their school lives, but children’s physical and mental status in classrooms remains a mystery that earns flagging attention from adults. This study aims to provide a glimpse of children’s learning and their classroom experience. After interviewing 96 subjects from 4 elementary schools, it shows that subjects, as well as teaching style, are stereotyped. Furthermore, being controlled and helpless in classes, they cannot do anything but accept it. Content of the curriculum factors and ways of learning are the factors for Children's preferences on curriculum. In the classroom life, joy and fear are often mixed; meaningful learning and filling learning coexist. The findings also drive us to the significant difference among the real practices inside classrooms, the student-centered approaches and active learning that has been promoted by policies for years.
