The Construction of Children's Subjectivity:A Study on Teachers'Role Playing and Support in Teacher-Child Interaction
Children are born with the ability to actively construct,and the possibility of their ability is not unique to"adult"standards.The presentation and construction of children's subject need to be found from children's initiative and other behavior feedback.The purpose of this paper is to reveal the supporting behavior of preschool teachers for the construction of children's subjects through role-playing and the process of their interaction.In the"foreground",teachers are the"designers"of the subject construction,and children participate in the role of"collaborators".In the"background",preschool teachers become the"assistants"through timely intervention and silent observation,while children become the"initiators"of subject construction under the change of teachers'roles and behaviors.The reason is that the construction of children's subject is generated naturally in the direct experience of interaction with adults,and in the process of understanding adult behavior and role.Therefore,to understand the child subject and its construction process,teachers need to be aware of and accept the dynamic and multiple patterns of children's role images in different situations,and tolerate children's behaviors that enrich their own physical experience in other events.
