Abstract:
In recent years, picture books, as children’s books and supplementary teaching materials, haveattracted more and more attention from parents, teachers, writers, and illustration creators. This researchtakes “When Fear Knocks on the Door” as the lesson study case, presenting a deep interpretation of thevisual, auditory, and tactile experiences that teachers use picture books to promote children’s emotionalability. Researchers have found that China’s policies and curriculum for children’s emotional developmentare oriented towards children’s physical and mental health, while foreign theories and practices forchildren’s emotional development are oriented towards social emotions. Therefore, when designing mentalhealth education courses for primary and secondary school children or integrating interdisciplinarymental health education concepts, Chinese teachers need to base themselves on the national conditionsand identify the target positioning for the emotional development of children in our country.
近年来,绘本(PictureBook)作为儿童读物和教学补充资料,受到越来越多家长、教师、作家和插画创作者的关注。本研究以《当害怕来敲门》为课例研究对象,呈现了教师运用绘本促进儿童情绪发展的视觉、听觉和触觉等具身体验的深度解读。研究者发现:我国的儿童情绪发展的政策和课程以儿童身心健康为目标导向,国外的儿童情绪发展的理论和实践以社会情感为导向,具有文化差异性。因此,我国教师在设计中小幼的心理健康教育课程或跨学科渗透心理健康教育理念时,需要立足国情,找准我国儿童情绪发展的目标定位。
