Young Children's Recognition of Geometric Shapes

本研究目的在探討幼兒幾何圖形辨識的發展，了解不同年齡幼兒對幾何圖形的辨識是否有差異，並且探討幼兒如何判斷幾何形狀。研究者選取台南市及高雄市幼兒園120 名4 至6 歲幼兒（男女各半）為研究對象，以研究者自編的「幾何圖形辨識任務」為研究工具對兒進行個別晤談，以了解幼兒對幾何圖形的辨識與判斷標準。研究結果顯示，4 至6 歲幼兒最容易正確判斷的幾何圖形為圓形及典型題型，幼兒對幾何圖形的辨識大致呈現發展趨勢。在圓形辨識任務、開放圖形題型和類似圖形題型中發現有年齡差異，5 歲半幼兒的表現優於4 歲幼兒。整體而言，4 至6 歲幼兒大多是以視覺反應做為幾何圖形的判斷標準，特別是其中的直觀反應；其次是圖形性質反應，而使用多重反應與其他做為判斷標準出現的次數都很少。最後研究者對結果進行討論，並作出建議。

This study aimed to investigate the development of the young children’s recognition of geometric shapes. One hundred and twenty 4-to-6 year-olds from Tainan City and Kaohsiung City were interviewed individually with Recognition of Geometric Shapes Tasks, which was developed by authors. The results showed that correct recognition of geometric shapes increased as children’s age increased. Circles and typical shapes were most easily identified by young children. Significant age differences were found in circles tasks, non-closed shapes tasks, and similar shapes tasks. The criteria most 4-to-6 year-olds used to distinguish geometric shapes were visual response, followed by property response. Hybrid response and others were seldom found. The results were discussed and implications regarding education and future research were presented.
