Abstract

Although social–emotional learning (SEL) and ethics education are important, it remains a challenging issue to effectively implement these practices. In this study, a Philosophical Ethics in Early Childhood approach is proposed for developing children's social–emotional competence and Theory of Mind. To evaluate the effectiveness of this expanded intervention, an experiment was conducted by assigning 73 children aged 3–5 to an experimental group (N = 37) and a comparative group (N = 36). Parents and teachers completed Head Start Competence Scales, the Theory of Mind Inventory and parent and teacher questionnaires. Teacher and Child Interviews were conducted. According to the teachers’ reports, the experimental group children demonstrated significantly increased social–emotional competence skills and increased understanding of their own and others’ emotions compared to the comparative group children. This program includes games, extension activities, and dialogue to support children in deeply thinking about social and emotional dilemmas, sharing their ideas, and creating solutions.

幼儿哲学伦理教育对学前儿童社会情感能力和心理理论的影响
虽然社会情绪学习和道德教育很重要,但如何有效地实施这些教育仍然是一个具有挑战性的问题。在本研究中,提出了一种早期儿童哲学伦理学的方法来发展儿童的社会情感能力和心理理论。为了评估这种扩展干预的有效性,我们将73名3-5岁的儿童分为实验组(N = 37)和对照组(N = 36)进行了一项实验。家长和老师完成了学前能力量表、心理理论量表和家长和老师问卷。进行了教师和儿童访谈。根据教师的报告,实验组的孩子比对照组的孩子表现出显著提高的社会情感能力技能和对自己和他人情绪的理解。该项目包括游戏、拓展活动、对话等,支持孩子们深入思考社会和情感困境,分享自己的想法,并创造解决方案。
