| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 台灣文學系碩博士班 === 98 === Nursery rhyme in Taiwanese Southern Min (TSM) is a type of mother tongue teaching materials that contains musical flavor and an important device for the transition of Taiwanese culture as well. There have been concerns about the acquisition of TSM via oral reading and recitation, the way to make learning nursery rhyme fun for children, and the learning of TSM with interest. For this reason, this thesis intends to discuss the creation of TSM nursery rhyme by Shi Fu-zhen as shown in his 12 volumes of Learning Taiwanese Southern Min through Nursery Rhyme (2002). The foci of the discussion are teaching material application and teaching method use, with a particular emphasis put on the property of interest stimulation.
Chapters 1 to 4 shed light on the two dimensions of investigation: the application of teaching materials and the use of teaching methods. Chapter 1 underscores the value of nursery rhyme in TSM while Chapter 2 illustrates the history of evolution of this type of artistic work and the relationship between Shi and nursery rhyme. Chapter 3 discusses the years of creation of the teaching materials in Shi (2002), along with the principles for lyric arrangement and material employment. Chapter 4 intends to classify the nursery rhymes based on their nature and the rhetoric techniques required. Special attention is paid to content analysis of the materials, which comprises the correct usage of keywords, the practice of extensional materials, the introduction of related proverbs and riddles with a truncated final part of expression, and the inspection of publishing year. Through the information obtained we can realize the historical background of rhyme creation, the nature of the materials, and the rhetoric techniques required. Chapters 5 and 6 examine the employment of teaching method. We map out teaching strategies that are concrete and effective, locate methods that are feasible for teaching nr*s in TSM, design integrative activities related to the field of mother tongue education, involve crucial topics for further discussion, and develop interesting and diverse ways of teaching evaluation. These efforts are meant to promote learning motivation for pupils and to increase teaching effect.
By nature nursery rhymes are the source of life growth and the spiritual food of mind that work to the benefit for children. So long as they are engaged in joyful recitation and singing, there will emerge spontaneous flow of innocent speech which are in harmony with the tempo of the nature. Through the practice of oral teaching, nursery rhymes in the past make their way into the unique status as the valuable collection of folk culture, the materials containing critical themes in household and school, and even an essential part of the cultural transmission in performing arts. Keeping these in mind, this thesis attempts to fulfill two goals out from research conduction. In the short run, it wishes to help children learn TSM in an atmosphere of joy. In the long run, it aims to make young learners aware of the origin of folk culture embedded in TSM and the transmission of art and culture. With such awareness, we hopefully can extend the scene of TSM education and nursery rhyme learning from family to school, the society, the country, and even the international setting.
