Full textAbstract:
Within the past 10 years, mobile devices have been widely adopted by adults and are now present in the lives of almost all U.S. children. While phones are common, our understanding of what effect this technology has upon children's development is lagging. Bioecological theory and attachment theory suggest that this new technology may be disruptive, especially to the degree to which it interferes with the parent-child relationship. This article reflects a National Organization for Human Services conference presentation and shares preliminary results from semi-structured interviews conducted with 18 youth, ages 7 through 11. Only four of eighteen interviewees voiced any negative thoughts concerning their parents’ use of mobile devices. However, those who reported feeling ignored by their parents experienced the negative emotions deeply. Themes that emerged from analysis of transcripts included devices as tools and boundaries.

Thesis, University of Newcastle Upon Tyne, 2008. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.485599.
Full textAbstract:
Background: Informed consent is a concept that is fundamental to the ethical inclusion of individuals in medical research projects. Theoretical and ethical analyses of consent has focused on important criteria including voluntariness, competence, provision of information, recommendation, understanding, decision making al!d authorisation. Study aims: (l) To explore the meaning of the concept of informed consent to parents who are contemplating including their sons in research projects, which are designed to develop and trial novel genetic treatments; (2) To assess the ways in which these parents engage in the consent process. Discussion: This thesis draws on qualitative interview data on the process ofconsent as experienced by parents of children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The results from an interpretative phenomenological analysis ofthe interviews indicate that there is significant dissociation between how parents are expected to think and choose, and how they actually behave in real life when ml)king consent decisions for their children. Many ofthe criteria which are used'for assessing adequacy of consent appear unrealistic, impossible or irrelevant to parents. This incongruence seems to result from a model, based on a principle-led form ofrational reasoning, which tends to abstract the process of consent from its clinical and social setting. There is a risk that a strict focus on a narrow analysis of consent, concentrating on elements such as competence, voluntariness, etc., can lead to consent becoming devoid ofmeaning to individuals. In tum, this threatens parents' participation in decision-making and provides some explanation for why many patients, parents, clinicians and researchers feel cynical, irritated, or despondent about consent. A more sophisticated understanding of how these decisions are made is important to ensure that ethical decisions about paediatric research participation can be made.

Full textAbstract:
This pilot study attempts to assess the correlation between language ability and a projective Tree-drawing test. The hypothesis tested is that expounded by Sandra Michel, a psychologist working with Dr. A. A. Tomatis at the Language Centre in Paris. The theory of Language from which her work derives is that put forward by A. A. Tomatis in Vers l'écoute humaine (Towards Human Hearing), (1977) and Education and Dyslexia trans . , Louise Guiney, (1972). This hypothesis states that the Tree-drawing can give a clear indication of the kind of dialogue the testee will be able and willing to use. The claims for projective Tree-drawing 'tests' or techniques have been mainly concerned with personality or psychological assessments and sometimes with intelligence testing since Charles Koch first began his work in this field in the early forties. Sandra Michel in "The Tree Test", translated by T . Brown, (unpublished paper), Tomatis Centre (Scarbrough, Ontario, 1980) discusses a Tree-drawing scale that indicates both the developmental level of the child's language ability and his/her motivation towards dialogue and communication at this level. To test this hypothesis a sample of 1094 Tree-drawings was used. The drawings were done by Primary School children of both sexes from Sub. A. to Std . 5, collected over four years of research. These drawings were studied to see if the Tree scale of drawings described by Michel did in fact occur and if they occurred in the sequence she suggests. As a result of these preliminary investigations a developmental scale was devised and proposed as a refinement of Michel's scale. Scores from these two Tree-scales were correlated with English language scores using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and the Spearman Rank techniques. The sample for this correlation study was a group of 54 Std. 5 pupils whose English language ability was evaluated by (i) a school English Examination mark, (ii) a Questionnaire scoring receptive and expressive language behaviours and (iii) Verbal I.Q. scores. The positive correlation between these language scores and the Tree-drawing projective test scores are discussed and the implications for English language teaching and suggestions for further research mentioned.

Full textAbstract:
One of the central problems concerning research with children is the delineation of appropriate levels of risk exposure. In the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, the "minimal risk" concept serves as an anchoring measure for allowable risk. While the regulations sought to promote a balance between scientific advances and the protection of children's vulnerable status, ambiguities in the language of the regulations and the regulatory definition of "minimal risk" have given rise to a great deal of confusion. Research ethics boards and the medical community espouse a multitude of varying opinions regarding the interpretation and application of the federal regulations with more recent research demonstrating an apparent increase in risk without corresponding benefit in pediatric research. Informed by ethical theory, law, and science, this project analyzes the apparent increase in allowable risk, calls for a reassessment of the concept of "minimal risk," and recommends modifications to the federal regulations.<br>Un des principaux problèmes associés à la recherche en pédiatrie concerne la définition des limites appropriées d'exposition au risque. Dans le « Code des règlements fédéraux » des États-Unis le concept de « risque minime » sert de balise pour mesurer le niveau permissible de risque. Cet ensemble de règles cherchait à créer l'équilibre entre le progrès scientifique et la protection du statut de vulnérabilité des enfants, mais certaines ambiguïtés linguistiques dans les textes ainsi que la définition légale du « risque minime » ont causé beaucoup de confusion. Les comités d'éthique de la recherche et la communauté médicale adhèrent à une multitude d'opinions face à l'interprétation et à l'application des règlements fédéraux, et les recherches plus récentes affichent une tendance vers un risque augmenté, sans bénéfice correspondant dans la recherche pédiatrique. Fondée sur des principes de théorie éthique, de droit et de science, cette recherche analyse l'augmentation du risque, suggère une réévaluation du concept du risque minime, et recommande une série de modifications aux règlements fédéraux.

Gaulter, Amanda. "Using action research to support the inclusion of Slovakian children." Thesis, University of Bristol, 2013. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.618721.
Full textAbstract:
Immigration is part of the UK's history but with the expansion of the European Union (EU) over the last decade to include a number of Eastern European countries, many Eastern European families have migrated to the UK. The school in which this research was based had seen a huge rise in the number of Slovakian pupils attending, many of whom were Roma. The research focused on how to promote the inclusion of these Slovakian pupils. Through action research I worked with nine staff, four teachers, four teaching assistants (TAs) and the Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo), and together we discussed the issues they experienced in promoting the inclusion of Slovakian pupils. I also gathered the views of five Slovakian children through a focus group and used visual methods to promote a more child-friendly design. Staff used the information gathered from their collaborative reflection and from the children to devise actions that could promote inclusion further. Thematic analysis of the children's experiences of school suggested that they enjoyed and valued coming to school because of the social and academic opportunities it brought. However, it also indicated that the children experienced vulnerability due to barriers they faced and changes they had endured, and that this vulnerability was in part displayed through the negative behaviour of fighting. Thematic analysis of staff meetings indicated that their perceptions of Slovakian culture changed, as did their self-efficacy towards promoting inclusion, through their participation in the research and system-Wide changes to the school context. Findings raised implications for school staff and Educational Psychologists (EPs) working in diverse communities and highlighted the value of action research in such contexts.

Since 1995 educational achievement in New Zealand primary schools at
year four and year eight has been examined and reported on by the
National Education Monitoring Project (NEMP). Prior to this New
Zealand students had participated in international educational studies that
provided information in some curriculum areas. The aim ofNEMP was to
gather information about the educational achievements ofNew Zealand
pupils within the context ofNew Zealand education.
This study looked specifically at the pupils involved in NEMP who are
classified as special care (special needs), having physical or intellectual
disabilities. The major questions explored were: 1) How do schools make
decisions about which children will participate in NEMP studies? 2)
What processes do schools go through in deciding whether to include or
exclude students (in particular those defined as special care)? 3) How
well does NEMP cater for the inclusion of students with physical and
intellectual needs?
Data was generated through phone interviews with seven Canterbury
schools, all of which had excluded or included (or both) children with
special needs in the 2001 NEMP process. The principle findings were
that; Schools have clearly established consultative processes that are used
in order to decide which children will participate in NEMP; The
importance of the random sample is recognised and respected by schools;
The support given to schools by NEMP is an important component in
ensuring the success of the process.

Full textAbstract:
<p> The purpose of this study was to investigate and report the lived experiences of parents of twice exceptional (2e) children, utilizing participatory action research (PAR) methods. The primary question this study sought to answer was how parents of 2e children feel about parenting their children. A total of 20 parents participated in a PAR group and conducted research through telling their own stories, participating in a one-on-one interview, conducting a parenting survey, and developing artifacts for educating others about the characteristics and needs of 2e persons. The duration of this study was 12 months, during which time, the PAR members met monthly for three to four hours per meeting. </p><p> Key findings of this study indicate: 2e persons see themselves as a distinct special needs group; there are common characteristics and behaviors among 2e persons; 2e persons are a marginalized community; there is a lack of knowledge about 2e persons among academic, medical, and therapeutic professionals, consequently, parents of 2e children do not feel they can rely on them for support; parents of 2e children feel their children are often rejected and ostracized by others; they struggle to find ways to help their children be accepted by their extended family, community, and society at large; parents of 2e children experience high levels of stress as they work to mitigate societal barriers to their children's success; forming a community of like-minded parents offered the best form of support; while the PAR group realities were different from the idealized model, it offered an appropriate method for gathering data on parenting 2e children, as members felt comfortable researching with their community, rather than being objects of research; PAR group members saw themselves as activists and developed strategies for advocating for 2e persons.</p><p> These findings have implications for parents, educators, and medical/therapeutic practitioners, as they serve to illuminate characteristics, issues, and possible solutions for advocating and serving the needs of 2e persons. This study may also serve as a model for further PAR research, as it discusses the reality of the members' PAR experiences, compared with the suggested ideal PAR methods found in the literature.</p>

Holland, Verity. "Mindfulness with children and adolescents : current research and future directions." Thesis, University of Southampton, 2012. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/359646/.
Full textAbstract:
Mindfulness, “the awareness that emerges through paying attention on purpose, in the present moment and non judgementally to the unfolding of experience” (Kabat-Zinn, 2003; p.145) is associated with improved well-being, cognitive functioning and distress in a range of chronic disorders in adults and is additionally becoming more prevalent in the treatment of a number of clinical difficulties in young people, such as anxiety and ADHD. Evidence suggests mindfulness may promote young people’s social and emotional functioning and academic performance. This has led to a growing interest in teaching mindfulness in schools to children and adolescents who do not have clinical diagnoses, where it is possible to use mindfulness in a universal, proactive way, to increase well-being and resilience in the face of potential challenges, rather than having a reactive focus on the alleviation of symptoms and problem behaviours. As with any emerging intervention, examining whether it works must be considered alongside the question of why it works. Focusing on mindfulness training delivered in schools, this paper updates a preliminary review (Burke, 2010) examining the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions delivered to children and adolescents, and provides an initial exploration of the possible underlying mechanisms of change facilitated by mindfulness in young people (e.g. relaxation, metacognitive awareness). There is increasing evidence to suggest that mindfulness training has a positive impact on a range of outcomes, however methodological issues remain and outcomes are less well established for some young people, for example adolescents in typical secondary settings. The review is therefore followed by a study that aimed to evaluate the effects of the ‘.b’ (Stop-Breathe-Be) mindfulness course on early adolescents’ well-being and academic functioning. 120 11 to 12 year olds from a mainstream secondary school took part in the intervention or control groups. Following the eight-week ‘.b’ course, as hypothesised, participants in the intervention group (N=72) demonstrated increased resilience and improved experience of stress, as well as improved inattentive behaviour (as rated by teachers) compared to passive control group participants (N=48). There were no significant differences between groups on measures of mindfulness, aggressive behaviour or academic achievement. Implications for teaching mindfulness in schools are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Twenty-five percent of Australian children are purported to have experiences of domestic and family violence. Despite this statistic, there is a lack of research in Australia with these children. To facilitate children’s engagement in domestic violence research, this study explored the barriers, enablers, and decision-making considerations of key gatekeepers and domestic violence researchers. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were held with 49 participants from five cohorts: domestic violence service providers, mothers with experiences of domestic/family violence, clinicians providing therapeutic interventions for children, Human Research Ethics Committee members, and domestic violence researchers. Themes about the barriers in domestic violence research with children concerned fears, safeguarding imperatives, and heightened risks. Domestic violence research with children was constructed as risky and dangerous. All cohorts, except domestic violence researchers, thought that this research could retraumatise children. The domestic violence service system and children being overshadowed in a closed adult-centric system emerged as further barriers in this research. Enablers in domestic violence research relate to the model and design of the research. Adopting a child-rights focus and trauma-safe methodology, along with having sector leadership, supportive gatekeepers and resources were identified as enablers. Attuned trauma-safe research, which is child-friendly, flexible, child-led, and creative, and which draws on the expertise of clinicians, further facilitates domestic violence research with children. To inform this research with children, an enabling model of attuned trauma-safe research, referred to as the STARR model, has been developed from the research findings.

Full textAbstract:
The right to participate and express a view is an intrinsic right afforded to all human beings, regardless of age (Lundy, 2007). Explicitly, Articles 12, 13, 14 and 15 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) grant participatory rights to children and young people in decision-making. One of the forms of participation academics and practitioners have studied over the past decades, the engagement of children and young people in participatory processes, is moving away from the understanding of children as passive recipients of research to active participants. However, literature has paid scant attention to research led directly by children and young people (Thomas, 2015). Child-led research is understood, as starting definition from literature, as an approach in which children and young people are involved in all stages - from planning, fieldwork and analysis to dissemination. The aim of this research is to critically explore how the process and outcomes of children and young people's participation in their own child-led research contributes, positively or negatively, to decision-making processes in the context of international development programmes. The research questions are: Question 1: What are children and young people's motivations for, expectations of and experiences with engaging in their own child-led research as a way to influence decision-making? Question 2: What are the processes of child-led research that positively or negatively influence decision-making? Question 3: In what ways does child-led research influence decision-making? (And why and how do they do so?) This research project used a case study approach to examine two cases where children and young people claimed they conducted child-led research. The first, Bekaa and Irbid, investigated the research conducted by a group of children and young people on issues relevant to their situations as refugees in the host countries of Lebanon and Jordan. The second, Dhaka, reviewed child-led research focused on the lack of birth certificates issued for Bangladeshi children and the possible effects of not having this legal registration. A group of children and young people who are members of a Children's Parliament in Dhaka led this project. The research participants for this project are defined as (1) the children and young people, aged 12 to 18 (when I interviewed them), who are associated with World Vision programmes and engaged in the child-led research projects within their constituencies in the Irbid and Bekaa and Dhaka case studies and (2) the adult professionals who acted as facilitators of child-led research projects and those who worked in the design of these projects or dissemination of their findings. These participants were those who were best suited to provide the information needed as they were fully involved in the child-led research projects and had in-depth knowledge to contribute answers to the research questions. This project adopted several methods for data collection, including focus groups, semi-structured interviews, observations and documentary review. The study followed ethical research guidelines to ensure the safety, rights, dignity and well-being of both the children and young people and adult participants (Morrow, 2009). The research took into account the special considerations required to gain informed consent, ensure confidentiality and anonymity, acknowledge the cultures of the research sites, and refrain from presenting information that may potentially harm participants (Marshall and Rossman, 2006). The findings of the study show that the child-led research approach is considered an adequate participatory approach that creates spaces for children and young people to engage in their own research and influence change based on their findings. Thus, this approach enabled participants to gather together and pursue collectively a research project in which they were able to explore issues about their lives using research methodologies that were appropriate to their experiences, abilities and expertise. This conversion, however, highlights a variety of tensions around the understanding and legitimacy of child-led research. Findings from this study supports the view that child-led research generates empirically grounded knowledge, which produced through data collection and personal experiences of the young researches and its analysis as a whole. Findings also reveal that the young researchers' motivations and expectations were to make an impact on their own lives, as well as the lives of their peers and change a situation that they perceived as unfair. Findings show that the adult facilitators played an important role in facilitating the young researchers but not managing them. However, this study evidenced some tensions between participation and protection rights. The study found manifestations of power amongst the children and young people during the child-led research projects, which were based on age, gender, religion, language and ethnicity. This confirms children and young people can replicate power relations within their participatory projects, which are deeply embedded in their traditions and cultures. Findings show that child-led research has different levels of impact; on decision-making and in the individual lives of the young researchers. This is connected to the contexts where children and young people conducted their research, which was conducive in one case study and more challenging in the other case. Overall, the findings of this study contribute to the body of literature that challenges the dominant conceptualisation that children and young people are unable to conduct their own research. Instead, the findings of this research project contribute to the study of children and young people's participation by providing different perspectives on the debate around the children and young people's abilities and motivations to engage in their own child-led research projects. The findings contribute to knowledge about the nature of child-led research as an approach that supports children and young people in their struggle to participate in society. These findings contribute to the substantial gap of understanding about what is knowledge and expertise by exploring the ways in which children and young people conduct their own research and create knowledge with the aim of making a change in society. Specifically, the findings provide empirical evidence of the impact that their work has had on policy and practice and their personal lives.

Full textAbstract:
An observational study was conducted examining the social and cognitive play of young children with hearing-impairment playing in small groups composed of both hearing and hearing-impaired peers. The questions addressed the effects of the hearing status of the play partner upon the social/cognitive play patterns of children with hearing-impairment, and the relationship between their play patterns and their communicative competence, social competence and speech intelligibility. Forty-eight hearing-impaired subjects ranging in age from 3-6 to 6-1 were observed playing with partners of same and different hearing status during integrated play sessions at 13 school sites. The social play categories included solitary, parallel and group play, while the cognitive play categories included functional, constructive and dramatic play. Results of the study showed that the play patterns of the hearing-impaired children differed significantly for each group of partners. When playing with hearing-impaired partners, subjects engaged in group functional and constructive play more frequently than parallel functional and constructive play, and with equal frequency in parallel dramatic and group dramatic play. When playing with hearing partners, subjects engaged with equal frequency in group and parallel play. When playing with mixed groups of hearing and hearing-impaired partners, subjects engaged in group dramatic play more frequently than parallel dramatic play, and with equal frequency in group functional and constructive play, and parallel functional and constructive play. Communicative competence was negatively correlated to functional play. A positive correlation was found between social competence and constructive play, and between speech intelligibility and dramatic play. These correlations remained significant when age was partialed out. The hearing-impaired subjects spent similar percentages of time in social/cognitive play as those reported for hearing children. The study supports the premise that the play of young hearing-impaired children varies according to the hearing status of the play partner and is neither delayed nor deficient.

Full textAbstract:
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 78-88).<br>Currently, parental separation in South Africa affects an estimated 30 000 children under the age of 18 annually. These children spend a great part of their day at school where they have to interact with peers and teachers and are expected to perform academically, but parental separation could have a significant impact on their ability to do so. Although research has found that children can be adversely affected by parental divorce, schools in South Africa do not offer any group interventions in an attempt to assist and guide children through what could be an ordeal for them. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the school-based Children of Divorce Intervention Programme (CODIP) at two South African schools. CODIP is a preventively oriented 12-week group programme for nine to twelve year old children. The aims of the programme are to create a supportive group atmosphere in which children can share divorce-related feelings and clarify misconceptions about divorce. Participants are also taught problem-solving, communication and anger management skills. Twenty-five boys of divorce from two schools (ages 10 to 13 years) were randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one delayed intervention control group. The boys' understanding of divorce was assessed through the completion of the Children's Belief about Parental Separation (CBAPS) scale. The Self Perception Profile for Children (SPPC) was used to assess children's perceptions of themselves, while the Parent-Child Interaction Questionnaire for Children (PACHIQ-R-CH) was employed to determine the boys' perceptions of their families. Questionnaires to determine the boys' general adjustment were completed by the boys, teachers and parents. Boys completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), teachers the Teacher-Child Rating Scale (T-CRS), the AML-R Behaviour Rating Scale and the SDQ, and parents completed the Parent-Child Rating Scale (P-CRS) and the SDQ.

碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>工業設計學系碩博士班<br>90<br>Designing for younger users on the Web is generating a lot of interests. This research applies Participatory Design (PD) methods on developing a community Web site for children. Seven elementary school students around 10 years old are representative users during the four-month participatory design.
Based on related literature and results of a computer and Internet background survey, this research developed a children’s mental model for using computers. A series of discussion and design processes were conducted to develop prototypes of a children’s community Web site. The main tasks of all the participants were to derive the functions of the Web site, to develop the user interface, and to build up a final prototype.
To elicit younger users’ needs, the PD team analyzed functions of popular communication Web sites, and then conducted structured interviews with children participants. The results indicated that: (1) Children preferred storing personal information on the Web site for sharing. They would also like to keep in touch with their friends thru e-mail, chatting room, and discussion group on the Web. (2) E-mail services provided by most Web portals could satisfy children users on file sharing by allowing file transmissions
So do Chatting room and Discussion group. Therefore, this research suggested that improving current community functions of Web portals would meet children users’ needs.
The PD team also developed interface design guidelines for children Web sites, including icon design and screen layouts. 5 experiments, such as children’s community websites heuristic evaluation, icon design experiment, icon design testing, interface layout experiment, and interface layout testing, were conducted. The results showed that: (1) Interactive effects such as flash animation on Web pages were associated with more usability problems than plain HTML Web pages. (2) Children preferred icons with animation, and performed good in recognition tests. (3) Children preferred Web pages with similar functions or labels grouped together. (4) The prototype proposed by this research was associated with better performance of children users than Web portals in Taiwan.
Based on the results of the participatory design, this research suggests general design guidelines for younger Web users.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>輔仁大學<br>非營利組織管理碩士學位學程在職專班<br>103<br>Christian children’s music institutions often face the issues of brand promotion, especially for those less known new organizations that needing promotion in order to stand out, the finding of possible branding direction would thus be a one of the great challenge. In the case of the institution of this research that sees the Christian community within the churches as its target group, from the brand marketing perspective, raising the brand awareness for more people to know the institution and its products would therefore be their major task.
Brand Concept Map, BCM, is a methodology used in NPOs or enterprises wherein one can employ person-to-person interview to collect customers’ associations in relation to a brand; and through which the researchers with the specific method of calculation can map out a collective map of the network of associations with the brand at its center. The advantage of BCM is its capability to map out the relation between the associations, and between the associations and the brand, which produces a more comprehensive brand profile. Through the caparison made between internal and external interviewees, it enables the detection of institution’s brand positioning, the consumer’s perception of the brand image and the consumer’s impression on the brand. With this method, the organization and its manager will be able to evaluate their product’s competence and weakness, to improve its product quality and to adjust their products in accordance to the market’s need.
This research analyses the brand associations, from the attributes, benefits and attitudes three different levels (Keller, 1993), the relation between the associations, and the possible meanings involved. The result of the collective BCM of the institution staffs shows that the connection between associations are much lesser that the one of the collective BCM of the children’s music volunteers; further, the former also showed that they were placing their focus mainly on the music itself, in contrasting to the latter, wherein they gave more importance to the concert audience interaction, and only secondly the music itself. Based on these results, this research proposes that the institution should: 1) enhance their overall administrative capability in relation to organizing activity; 2) adjust their brand image in response to the market expectation; 3) integrate the resources of government and social welfare; 4) utilize the internet media resources for more exposure and to develop their brand image; 5) in their future marketing plan, come up with activities that centered on their music, which will facilitate the experience of the value and content of their music. Lastly, this research hopes that these results may also be a reference for the institutions that see the promotion of Christian children’s music as their major task in future.

The 50 advertisements as research samples which emphasize young children are selected from award-winning works of 2014 to 2018 "4A Awards" and "Times Advertising Awards" in Taiwan.
Based on the film category, the content analysis method is used and the scorer is asked to encode and analyze the advertisement images, and to interpret the image of the child in the advertisement and the child's viewpoint according to the coding result.
From the perspective of the presentation of advertisements and the types of children's images, it is estimated that the types of advertisements are concentrated in the "public service category", "channel service category" and "electronic goods category". The advertisement shooting scene is mainly "home". Children interact with "family" more than others. Children display images of children who are "innocent" and "victims". This analysis explains that children are innocent and weak in advertising, need to be looked after, or play the role of the best salesperson. The dependency between children and families or adults is high, representing the symbol of home and hope. The depiction of children shows the concept of children dominated by adults in the advertising world in the form of childhood reappearance.
The appearance and theme of the children display in the advertisement reveals the social and cultural viewpoints as a reference for the follow-up research and related work. While also thinking about the subjectivity of children, learning how to correctly embrace the media world.

Therefore, this thesis will be useful for designing a serious game which can be used by widely popular Android Platform Smartphone. This will help children learn in the car and reduce children's visual impairment due to prolong look at the Smartphone. In addition, it will enhance the interaction between parents and children. The most important thing is that it will increase the interest of the game so that children will not feel boring in learning. Therefore, this will have a great effect for children in learning.

Full textAbstract:
博士<br>國立成功大學<br>工業設計學系<br>104<br>Toys are invaluable for the development of children with autism. Toys that provide adequate sensory stimulation can promote parent¬–child interactions and are beneficial for building the social interaction skills of autistic children. From the perspective of sensory integration theory, this study selected materials with tactile–visual stimuli attributes and composite light-emitting attributes as experimental samples for conducting a two-stage experiment on 15 families with preschoolers who have high-functioning autism. Additionally, questionnaires were distributed to record and evaluate the experiments. Interactive behaviors were counted according to the frequency of smiling and laughing, eye-contact, and finger-pointing. Additionally, to assess the level of parent–child interactions, the level of pleasure, reaction to activities, and level of activeness were evaluated. The experimental results were analyzed using the quantification method type I, and the weighting relationship between the toy features and interactive behaviors was constructed.
Experimental results for materials with tactile–visual stimuli attributes:(a) loose sequin was strongly correlated with frequent smiling/laughing and high enjoyment levels. The fabric provided a loose tactile sensation regarding surface interweave uniformity and a bright visual sensation regarding visually perceived luster; (b) suede was correlated with eye contact and activity response. This fabric possessed a smooth visual sensation regarding visually perceived smoothness; and (c) loose sequin was highly correlated with finger pointing and initiation. This fabric offered a thin tactile sensation regarding surface interweave thickness and a bright visual sensation regarding visually perceived luster. We suggest applying fabrics to composite toys. Specifically, loose sequin can be used initially to encourage autistic children to interact; subsequently, suede can enable sustained parent-child interaction.
Experimental results for materials with composite light-emitting attributes: (a) the metal ball (reflective and dynamic light) was the representative sample that elicited many smiles or laughs and much finger pointing as well as high levels of pleasure and activeness; (b) the fluorescent ball (static light) was the representative sample that provoked much eye contact, produced satisfactory reactions to activities; (c) the quality of fluorescence enhanced the levels of pleasure and the reactions to the activity. We propose that dynamic and reflective materials can be adopted to divert the attention of children, and fluorescent toys can then employed to sustain parent–child interaction. According to the experimental results, recommendations are proposed regarding the use of materials with light-emitting attributes for designing toys for children with autism.

碩士<br>國立新竹教育大學<br>藝術與設計學系美勞教師碩士在職專班<br>105<br>This research aims to explore children drama appreciation experience from theater participant’s point of view, especially focus on the motivation, choice-making and learning from participant, also the key aspects of modern children drama, its current issues and myths. The purposes of this research are :
A.Explore the motivation and choice-making on children drama appreciation from theater participant.
B.Investigate what theater participant learn from children drama appreciation.
C.Explore the key aspects by appreciating “Buchettino “ in Taipei Children Art Festival.
D.Study current situation of children drama concerned by theater participant.
E.Explore the issues and reflection of children drama appreciation.
Based on the above purpose, this research adopts “Qualitative Data analysis” method and data was collected by in-depth interview. The interviewee span in three categories : (1) Parents who watch children drama. (2) Children who watch children drama. (3) People who work in children drama. Collected data was mainly analyzed by “Thematic Analysis”. The goal of this research is to propose suggestions to children drama appreciation by understanding children drama participants of all kind. The conclusions of this research are summarized as following :
A.Even though parents might have their own preference and expectation on the motivation and selection of drama appreciation, the final decision maker are children at different phases.
B.The major benefit of drama appreciation is to mentally heal people, inspire children imagination and elevate their learning capability.
C.The key characteristic of “Buchettino” : To tell a terrific story.
D.Drama participant’s expectation to children drama includes innovative and versatile content, children’s point of view and better self-understanding.
E.The major dilemmas of children drama are myth of interaction and the side effect of audience’s egocentrism.
