繪本中的性教育－以「我從哪裡來？」為內容主題之繪本進行研究

Sex Edcuation in Picture Books - Analyzing Five Picture Books Titled as 「Where Do I Come From?」

本研究旨在探討繪本中所存有的性教育知識層面，進而論述不同國家文化在繪本中呈現的性知識的異同。綜合研究分析，提供教育工作者使用繪本實施幼兒性教育時應思考的面向及教學方式。研究者以「我從哪裡來？」為主題，依據繪本出版的國家、性教育的內容、意義及插畫中的意涵，挑選五本翻譯的繪本進行圖片及文字內容之分析與詮釋。本研究歸納出這些性教育的繪本從四種觀點進行編製：（1）神話的觀點，（2）描述細節的觀點，（3）成人與孩子交互並用的觀點，及（4）以孩子為中心的觀點。書中傳達六類性知識，分別為：（1）男女生理差異的知識，（2）結婚的知識，（3）性愛的知識，（4）懷孕與胚胎發育的知識，（5）生產與新生兒的知識，及（6）其他特有的知識。本文建議教學者在使用繪本傳遞幼兒性知識時，應採幼兒觀點為主，並可透過不同國家地區之繪本導入多元文化價值與尊重之概念。而開創本土幼兒性教育方面之繪本是極待國人共同努力的。
