| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 自然科學教育學系碩士班 === 93 === The purpose of the research is to investigate how teachers ask questions and react to students’ responses about scientific themes in kindergarten with the method of qualitative research.. By the study, we try to realize how the purposes of teacher questioning and the interaction of teachers and students affect processes of questioning and responding. The research worker adopts some ways including recording and interview to gather materials from teachers and students’ conversations and analyzes with reference to open coding and process coding of ground theory.
The main conclusions of the research are as follows:
1. The two teachers teach scienctific knowledge or common sense through asking children questions. They will question from some activities about observing and operating objects or real-life experiences of children and adopt questioning and unquestioning feedbacks according to students’ answers to help students get the answear. However, teachers give students few chances to test their answears when children get answears.
2. Teachers can arrange different questioning and responding processes according to different purposes of teacher asking questions and different instructional goals. Besides, the processes of questioning and responding also rely on children’s answers.
3. Teachers’ reactions are affected by the teaching and learning circumstance at the time, when children ask questions or give ideas. However, they mainly use strategies of reacting such as explanations to students, finding the relative information, designing the curriculums which involve children’s ideas or making students discuss with each other.
According to the conclusions, the writer offers some suggestions to kindergarten teachers and limitations for this study.
