Description
Summary:博士 === 臺北市立大學 === 教育學系 === 107 === The purpose of this study is to explore the spirituality and educational practice of senior preschool teachers. The flow rate of personnel is high in the trend of fewer children. Studying the concept of spirituality of early childhood educators is valuable. Because the spirituality influences teachers’ educational practice. This study analyzes the life stories of two senior preschoolers. The study found that the concept of spirituality is to see the self in the secular from the perspective of transcendence. Two preschool teachers follow two paths and found different transcendental perspectives. They redefine their inner nature and identity, and regard educational practice as a call and mission. They view children from a transcendental perspective, provide a more flexible and diverse environment and educational methods, and give educational practice a higher purpose: to practice and teach spiritual values. Research suggests that in the future, spirituality of teachers and young children can be extensively studied through life stories. It is necessary to understand how to nurture teachers' the concept of spirituality in order to support their educational practice.
