碩士 === 國立屏東大學 === 教育學系碩士班 === 105 === This study amins to induce students to think about solutions to interpersonal issues via “positive peer interactive courses.” A child’s behavior telling on other kids owing to “peer conflicts” and “non-compliant behaviors” can be corrected through the active treatment. Researchers conduct action research on 4 kids from mixed-age classes of the kindergarten attached to the Feng Li (Pineapple) Elementary School and investigate 1) the current conditions of kids’ behavior of telling on other kids and 2) the challenges from development of “positive peer interactive courses” that are meant to correct kids’ behavior of telling on other kids. 3) “Positive peer interactive courses” are implemented to correct kids’ behavior of telling on other kids. 4. Researchers may grow in their expertise and make gains through action research. Researchers conduct 10 “positive peer interactive courses” during the 10-week research period. The themes of instructional activities include running in the corridors, snatching toys, playing with water, striking others, not lifting chairs after meals, randomly throwing food crumbs, sprinkling water onto others’ clothes, snatching others’ belongings, ridiculing others, and bumping into others. Ther research results are set out as follows: 1. Research subjects are telling on other kids mostly because they want to preserve the rules. 2. Research subjects tell on other kids most frequently at noon. 3. Positive peer interactive courses wield different effects on reduction of frequencies of telling on other kids in different cases. 4. Positive peer interactive courses are effective in improvement of peer interaction among kids . 5. Positive peer interactive courses induce kids to be empathetic and aware of others' feelings so that different solutions can be proposed. 6. Researchers Enhance their professional capabilities and grow in expertise via action research. Finally, researchers make suggestions on the teachers, plans of teaching, and future research based on the research history and discussions of research results.
