积木建构游戏与学前儿童工程技术能力的关系研究——基础学习力的中介作用
A Study on the Relationship between Block-Building Games and Preschool Children’s Engineering Skills—The Mediating Role of Basic Learning Ability
摘要: 工程技术能力被证实与幼儿多方面能力的发展紧密相连,而积木建构游戏是学前儿童工程技术能力发展的有效媒介。本研究以35名大班幼儿为研究对象,探讨积木建构游戏与学前儿童工程技术能力的关系及基础学习力(精细动作、表征能力、问题解决能力)的中介作用。结果表明:积木建构能力与工程技术能力显著正相关;精细动作和问题解决能力起部分中介作用;表征能力中介作用不明显;三者还存在链式中介路径。基于此研究者建议:应尊重个体差异,为儿童提供多元评价和适宜材料,积累生活经验以推动游戏开展。
Abstract: Engineering skills are closely linked to the development of various abilities in preschool children, and block-building games provide an effective environment for the development of engineering skills in preschool children. This study focuses on 35 preschool children in a large class to explore the relationship between block-building games and their engineering skills, as well as the mediating role of basic learning abilities (fine motor skills, representational skills, problem-solving skills). The results indicate that there is a significant positive correlation between block-building ability and engineering technical ability; fine motor skills and problem-solving abilities play a partial mediating role; the mediating effect of representational ability is not significant; there is also a chain mediated pathway among the three. Based on this, researchers suggest that individual differences should be respected, diverse evaluations and appropriate materials should be provided for children, and life experience should be accumulated to promote the development of games.
