鷹架的搭建與幼兒創造思考之探究

Scaffolding in classroom and its impact on creativity thinking development of preschool children

近來國內外教育改革相繼將學童創造思考能力的提升列為重點之一，足見創造思考能力對學校教育的重要性。幼兒階段乃是創造思考能力的萌發期，若能從學習活動中有效促進幼兒創造思考表現，實有助於創造思考能力的提升。本文乃試圖從教學鷹架的搭建，探討其對幼兒創造思考表現的影響。文中先就鷹架的理論基礎進行探析，再彙整創造思考的意涵與教學原則，期能找到兩者之間對於教學的共通性。為進一歩論證鷹架的搭建有助於幼兒的創造思考表現，筆者乃以兩篇強調建構教學取向的幼兒教學實例進行對話分析。結果顯示，幼兒教師在教學上若能適時搭建學習鷹架，除了能協助幼兒知識概念的理解與推論外；亦可窺見幼兒在鷹架的支撐下實有較佳的創造思考表現。最後，從兩篇建構教學的對話分中，本文歸納出鷹架搭建有助於幼兒創造思考的因素為：一、提供創造思考的空間；二、構築知識分享的平台；三、營造安全的學習氣氛；四、激發個體的探究動機；五、提高幼兒的洞察力。

Creativity thinking is one of important issues in our lately educational reforms. The early childhood is a particular period for creativity thinking.
