以ITERS-3量表檢核托嬰中心活動室的藝術元素

Checking the Art Elements of Classroom in Childcare Center by Using ITERS-3 Rating Scale

本研究以ITERS-3量表檢核托嬰中心之展示給孩童看與藝術兩項次構面之現況，及藉由訪談以瞭解托育人員在活動室中運用藝術元素進行教學之情形。本研究以嘉義地區三間托嬰中心的四個班級為對象。本研究結論在三間托嬰中心之展示給孩童看次構面中共有5項未能達到該等級之要求，且該次構面皆為評分等級1（不適當）；在藝術次構面中共有4項未能達到該等級要求，且該次構面皆為評分等級2（介於不適當至最低要求之間）；沒有特殊節慶時所展示的圖片或海報皆缺乏多樣性；托育人員為便於管理及安全上的考量，藝術相關素材會收進櫃子，因此孩童無法輕易看到或拿取材料。

This study utilized the Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale, Third Edition (ITERS-3) to examine the current status of two subscales, ''Display for Children'' and ''Art,'' in childcare centers. Additionally, interviews were conducted to gain insight into how caregivers incorporate artistic elements into their teaching within classrooms. The study targeted four classes from three childcare centers in Chiayi area of Taiwan. The findings indicate that, in the ''Display for Children'' subscale, all three centers failed to meet the required standards in five specific items, with an overall rating of 1 (Inadequate). Regarding the ''Art'' subscale, four items did not meet the required standards, and the overall rating was 2 (Between Inadequate and Minimum). Furthermore, during non-festive periods, the images or posters displayed in classrooms lacked diversity. Additionally, for ease of management and safety considerations, caregivers tended to store art-related materials in cabinets, making them inaccessible to children. As a result, children's opportunities to view and engage with these materials were significantly limited.
