以繪本為媒材的生命教育團體對兒童死亡態度影響之研究

The Effects of Integrating Life Education into Picture Books Group Guidance Project on Children’s Death Attitude

本研究旨在探討以繪本為媒材之生命教育團體方案對國小兒童死亡態度之影響，以供相關實務工作者參考。本研究採等組前後測實驗設計，以十六名國小四年級兒童為對象，分派成實驗組和控制組。實驗組接受為期八週共八次，每次六十分鐘的生命教育繪本團體輔導課程之實驗處理；控制組則不作處理。本研究以「國小學童死亡態度量表」進行實驗組和控制組兒童之前後測。研究結果發現實驗組兒童在參與繪本團體輔導課程後，其死亡態度顯著低於控制組兒童，也就是生命教育繪本團體輔導課程對國小學童之整體死亡態度具正向效果，能降低其死亡態度。最後，研究者依據研究結果，提出實務工作與後續研究之若干建議。

To examine possible effects, a quasi-experimental research design with pre and post test was performed. There were 16 elementary school students participated in this study.
