新世紀的金縷衣還是國王的新衣？－－探究台灣以敘說教師故事為取向之幼教碩士論文

Whether it is Golden Thread Clothes or Emperor's New Clothes of this New Century? - A Study on Kindergarten Educational Graduate Theses Based on Narration of Teacher's Story in Taiwan

本文以文件分析法分析台灣自2001至2011年以敘事取向書寫之幼教學位論文在教師故事書寫之內涵，探究當前敘事在幼教研究領域之應用情形，並對敘事研究宜關注之爭議性問題加以探討，期能對於未來從事相關研究者提供助益。研究發現，敘事是思考和組織知識的基本方法，但敘事不僅僅是說故事而已，在教育上之應用必須兼具反省與認知的，敘事者如何對於敘事內容進行詮釋，並連結其與聆聽者之間的關係，進而對所敘說之故事與情節賦予意義，整個過程對敘事者而言，即是知識與經驗的重組，因此敘事是一種思考、詮釋、評價事件的重要方式。多數閱讀文本者並不是質性研究的專家，回歸到「研究價值」的角度來看，敘事者的「生命故事」為教育研究帶來何種啟發？敘事研究方法究竟是一襲「金縷衣」提供了研究過程中綿密堅固的思考脈絡還是猶如「國王的新衣」訴說了只有「敘事者」看得見的故事？將是敘說研究者在建構理論時要面臨的一大挑戰。

The purpose of this study is to explore current application of narrative approach in kindergarten educational research field and further explore the controversial issues proposed by narrative approach by analyzing the content of domestic kindergarten educational graduate theses from 2001~2011 on the narration of teacher's story by document analysis. In short, several suggestions are presentedfor future related studies. Narration is the basic approach of thinking and organizing knowledge. However, narration is more than telling stories. The application on education has to combine both reflection and recognition, that is how narrators interpretthe content of stories to further connect themselvesto the listeners, which gives meaning to the given stories. As for the narrators, the whole process is just the reconstruction of experience and knowledge. Therefore, narration is an important way to think, interpret and evaluate the events. Most readers are no experts in qualitative research, thus, from the perspectives of research value, the focus is on what inspiration on the educational research the life stories of narrators bring. Whether the narrative analysis is the gold-threaded robe, which provides solid and logical thinking context or the emperor's new clothes, which provides stories only seen by the narrators will be a challenge which narrative analyzers are faced with when constructing theories.
