Abstract

ABSTRACT This study examines how 3- and 4-year-old Jewish children think and feel about Israel. The research, conducted as a collaboration between scholars and practitioner-researchers who work in Jewish early childhood centers, draws upon group interviews, elicitation/provocation exercises, a drawing task, and teacher documentation to investigate how some of the youngest learners in Jewish educational settings conceive of Israel. We found that 3- and 4-year-old Jewish children think about Israel as a foreign country with its own customs, landmarks, and language. They also think about Israel as a distinctly Jewish place, with a special role in Jewish traditions and stories. We found no evidence that 3- and 4-year-old children reflect on Israel as a place of personal meaning for their own Jewish lives. This absence challenges both the theory and practice of Israel education in the early childhood setting.
比墨西哥远一点:3岁和4岁的犹太儿童如何理解以色列
本研究考察了3岁和4岁的犹太儿童对以色列的看法和感受。这项研究是由在犹太幼儿中心工作的学者和实践研究人员合作进行的,通过小组访谈、启发/挑衅练习、绘画任务和教师文档来调查犹太教育环境中一些最年轻的学习者对以色列的看法。我们发现,三、四岁的犹太孩子认为以色列是一个有着自己的习俗、地标和语言的外国。他们还认为以色列是一个独特的犹太人的地方,在犹太人的传统和故事中扮演着特殊的角色。我们没有发现证据表明3岁和4岁的孩子认为以色列是一个对他们自己的犹太人生活有个人意义的地方。这种缺失对以色列早期儿童教育的理论和实践都提出了挑战。
