The purpose of this study is first to adopt the narrative curriculum in making picture books for the students in the elementary school and then to analyze students' imagination and narrative performance in their picture books. We will first discuss the importance and necessity of imagination and narrative, and then explain the characteristic of narrative curriculum and its implementation. Furthermore, we will analyze the results by the method of content analysis. The students' records and our observation will be used as the supplementary evidences. From the result, it shows that the students' imagination types can be classified into the four categories. 1. Beyond the imagination of body structure. 2. Decorated with anthropomorphic imagination. 3. Functional combination of imagination. 4. Imagination combined with functional and decorative images. The frequent occurrence is functional combination of imagination and the occurrence rate is about 50%. We also find that the narrative curriculum could stimulate children's imagination and creativity and the scenario is also effective in helping students create the images. From the questionnaires and students' interview on the curriculum, we find that most students give positive feedback on this curriculum, especially on the parts of exploration and creation process. In the future study, we suggest more researchers continue to use the narrative curriculum and develop more teaching materials in enhancing the performance of children. The findings and conclusion of this study could provide teachers a guideline in promoting picture books creation, when trying to combine images with text in making picture book. |
