台灣兒童眼中的政治符號

Abstract

本研究應用訪談方式，探索台灣地區兒童對於政治符號的認知、態度以及情感反應。並希望藉由本研究的研究成果，對於國內研究小學生政治社會化的相關研究，提供相關問卷設計的資訊以及改進的指南。在國內小學生政治社會化的研究中，大多以結構式的問卷進行研究。本研究以台北縣市、宜蘭縣以及桃園縣等附近小學三年級到六年級學生，依照性別、年級以及居住地區，隨機抽樣共 64位學生，進行 30 至 60 分鐘的錄音訪談，並對其內容進行分析。問卷的格式，將結合開放性的問卷以及半投射性故事完成法，逐字引述受訪者用語的分析方式，探索小學生對於一些政治符號的回應。由於政治社會化的相關理論中，小學生的政治學習是一個重要卻相對而言較難以結構式問卷進行研究的領域，本研究希望藉由不同的研究方法，對國內政治社會化的相關研究，提供不同的思維方式。

\"In this study, we applied face-to-face interview method to explore children’s cognitions, attitudes, and affections toward politics symbols in Taiwan. We would like to share our research with other students of children’s political socialization researches in Taiwan for improving research questionnaires. \r\nMost children’s political socialization study in Taiwan employed structured questionnaires to explore children’s political orientations and attitudes. In this study, we sampled 64 students from grade 3 to grade 6 of primary school in Taipei, I-lan, and Taoyuan to conduct in-depth taped interviews. The \r\nformat of questionnaire used both open-ended items and semi-projective completions to explore children’s responses of political symbols. We employed verbatim response quotations to present our research. Comparing with other political socialization research and theories, children’s political socialization \r\nstudy is relatively hard to apply structured questionnaires to explore their political orientation. We expect to provide different research method to refine political socialization research of children in Taiwan. \"
