| Popis: | 101 This study aimed to explore the application of picture books in the teaching processes of children's life education, and the subsequent changes of the teacher and children. Collaborative action research was adopted, and children’s life education was conducted under the cyclic mode of "execution-review-modification-re-execution." Data collections included observations, interviews, notes on teaching discussions, reflective journals, and related documents. Trustworthiness was established by triangulation and peer debriefing. Conclusions of this study were as follows: 1. The teaching processes included three stages: (1) The pre-instruction stage: categorizing children's life education into "self, human-self, and human-environment" domains, and then choosing the proper picture books. (2) The actual teaching activity: including motive-arousing, appreciation of picture books, group discussion, extended activities, and sharing and learning worksheets. (3) The teaching reflection stage: including the processes of discussion, reflection, and modification between the researcher and the collaborative researcher. 2. The changes of children after the teaching course were: (1) The domain of self relationship: realizing the origin of life, confirming self-confidence, and recognizing the right understanding about what death is. (2) The domain of human-self relation: showing love to families by concern and objective actions, being willing to express the opinions, and having the ability to appreciate the others. (3) The domain of human-environment relationship: assuming the good attitude of respecting life and establishing the concept of being environmentally friendly. 3. The changes of teachers included adjustment of cognition of life, respecting individual differences, and improving the accuracy of teaching skills. Finally, the study proposed some suggestions for early childhood teachers, parents, and future researchers. |
