幼兒園教保活動課程大綱之多元文化教育意涵評析

Understanding and Implementation of Multi-Cultural Pedagogical Meaning in Early Childhood Education & Care Curriculum Framework

不同時代的移民形塑臺灣成為一個多元文化國家。而臺灣做為一以民主立國，對外貿易為經濟主要命脈的島國，更應成為多元文化社會的典範。因此，落實多元文化教育勢在必行。證諸於許多研究，多元文化教育需從幼兒教育階段做起，成效最佳。幼兒園教保活動課程大綱是引領國家幼兒教育發展的重要綱要，其是否具備多元文化教育的意涵，對我國推動幼兒多元文化教育具有指標性意義。本文之目的在於透過文獻分析，理解幼兒園教保活動課程大綱的多元文化教育內涵。研究結果發現其不僅掌握幼兒多元文化教育的理念、目的外，也能透過各領域課程指引多元文化教育於幼兒園實踐之可能性。切盼教保服務人員能善解之，並加以善行，以能紮根幼兒之多元文化素養與能力。

Immigration has transformed Taiwan into a multicultural country. In addition， it is a democratic island nation whose economy depends heavily on international trade. As such， Taiwan is well-suited to serve as a model for multi-cultural societies. Hence， it is imperative that multi-cultural education be implemented. A number of earlier studies have proven that multi-cultural education is most effective if it starts in preschool. A nation’s early childhood education & care curriculum framework is an important guideline for its young children’s educational development. Curriculum guidelines that feature multi-cultural content has important significance for Taiwan as it promotes preschool multi-cultural education. This research employed document analysis to understand the content and meaning of multi-cultural education in the curricula outline of preschools. By analyzing the connotations of early childhood education & care curriculum framework， this study discovered that the curriculum guideline can not only provide ideas and goals for preschool multi-cultural education， but can also be used to guide the implementation of multi-cultural education in preschools. This study hopes that through truly understanding and implementing these principles， teachers will be able to help young children to build a solid foundation in terms of multi-cultural literacy and capabilities.
