Abstract

A teaching intervention – educational scenario – was implemented by educators to 306 pre-schoolers in 17 classrooms. It was designed to foster children’s spatial awareness so as to help them construct a model of spatial concepts with reference to a mobile object around the space, the programmable toy Bee-Bot. The educational scenario encompasses instruments designed for gathering data of the pre and post children’s representations about direction and orientation concepts, the teaching activities conceived to deliver these concepts by using the programmable toy and finally instruments designed for evaluation. The evaluation took place after three weeks implementation and the results indicated statistically significant difference in children’s pre and post-test intervention representations and consequently construction of spatial knowledge not only to a functional context but moreover to a more symbolic one.

幼儿空间意识的建构:教育情景化编程环境的影响
教育工作者对17间教室的306名学龄前儿童实施了教学干预——教育情景。它旨在培养儿童的空间意识,以帮助他们参照空间周围的移动物体,即可编程玩具Bee Bot,构建空间概念模型。教育场景包括为收集前后儿童关于方向和定向概念的表现数据而设计的工具,通过使用可编程玩具来传递这些概念的教学活动,以及最终为评估而设计的仪器。该评估在实施三周后进行,结果表明,儿童在测试前和测试后的干预表现以及空间知识的构建方面存在统计学上的显著差异,不仅是在功能性背景下,而且是在更具象征性的背景下。
