Storytelling for Young Children in a Multicultural World

Early childhood educators are challenged to introduce children to the world of their future, a world that is and will increasingly become multicultural and multiracial. Storytelling is a powerful tool to promote an understanding of self and others. Readers are informed of the selection criteria for identifying stories to tell to young children from the colorful tapestry of Asian American, African American, Hispanic, and Native American heritages. Key questions to ask and answer in selecting culturally sensitive stories are also discussed, including the elements of character development, prejudice reduction, authority and authorship, and language. A storyteller's sampler of selected stories for preschool and primary-age students is included in the annotated bibliography. Reference sources for educators on storytelling techniques and strengthening understanding of multicultural perspectives are also described.

新时期儿童小说扫描

新时期，对于中国儿童文学来说，是值得记忆的一个时段。随着社会的转型和经济的转型，社会生活的方方面面都发生了深刻的变化，就儿童小说80年代显示出了强大的艺术力量，作家们怀着特定时代的那份责任感和使命感进行了多方面的艺术探索。而90年代的儿童小说创作虽不那么热烈、躁动，但在沉静、平和中也显示了自己独特的艺术魅力，诚然，经历过80年代的创作的积累后，作家们的创作更加注意回归儿童本位，更加强调儿童文学的创作规律。     

A Developmental Approach to the Education of Young Children

A developmental approach to the curriculum for young children takes into account the principle that what children should learn, and how they can best learn, changes with their age and the experience that comes with age. Several principles of practice emerge from this basic developmental principle. For example, as children grow older, what they learn changes from horizontal to greater vertical relevance. Similarly, the younger the learner, the more is learned through interactive and active processes rather than through passive and receptive processes. In addition, the younger the learner, the greater the urgency of helping them acquire basic social competence, which is very difficult to acquire later on. These developmental principles of practice imply that a curriculum for young children should include the opportunity to work in small groups on extended investigations of real phenomena in the children's own environments.

幼儿文化研究初探

当前幼儿教育的理论与实践都存在着过度依赖心理学而相对忽视社会学、文化学等倾向。这种倾向在强调幼儿教育科学化的同时,忽略了幼儿作为特定时期特定地域的群体的文化存在——作为群体的幼儿,受种种宏观和微观环境的影响,表现出具有一定稳定性和普遍性的行为与价值观念。因此,对幼儿的生存状况进行文化学的研究,可以从更广泛和更具有批判性的角度,帮助我们省思教育和幼儿之间的关系。     

Do Runner Beans Really Make You Run Fast? Young Children Learning About Science-Related Food Concepts in Informal Settings

Early years practitioners acknowledge that much learning takes place in a family context. Science educators, in particular, recognise the importance of children's prior knowledge, both as a foundation on which to build and as a possible source of misconceptions. However, little work has been done to discover what young children learn outside school. This study utilised parent diaries and questionnaires to elucidate the experiences of children aged four to seven which might contribute to their knowledge about the origin of food and its destiny after being eaten. The findings indicate that children learn more scientifically correct information with friends and family than teachers might realise. Awareness of children's informal knowledge can assist teachers when planning activities. As well as this, children's prior knowledge can be utilised in classroom discourse to promote understanding.

社会故事法在儿童自闭症干预中的应用研究述评

社会故事法是1991年由Gray C提出的自闭症干预方法.它以心理理论为主要理论依据,强调通过提高患者对社会情境和社会行为规则的理解来促进患者社会能力的发展.十几年来的一系列实验研究已经初步证明,社会故事法独立使用或与其他干预方法配合使用都能有效减少患者的不适当社会行为,增加适当社会行为,而且疗效能够保持,应用情境也比较广泛.但相对而言,社会故事法在具有良好阅读能力的轻度自闭症患者身上取得的干预效果会更好些.

Two checklists are provided, one to assist when observing and recording a child's personal behaviors and another to aid adults with the self-assessment of their child guidance techniques. These results are beneficial to those who teach, guide, train, and provide other essential experiences for children.
