摘要
本研究乃是对皮亚杰关于儿童开始认识几何图形是“从拓扑到欧氏几何”论点的反证。其根据有二:1.儿童认识各种拓扑和欧氏几何图形有难易先后,而非如皮亚杰所说的“儿童认识拓扑关系远早于欧氏几何图形”。2.实验证明,幼儿开始对圆、正方形和三角形都画成不规则的圆形,这是由于其绘画技能不够完善。不能以此作为“儿童认识几何图形是从拓扑开始”的论据。
Our findings disprove of Piaget's argu-ment that children's understanding of ge-ometric figures is“from topology to Euclideangeometry”.There are two reasons:1)ourstudy reveals that children' understandingof topology and Euclidean geometry dependson their level of difficulty.Piaget's state-ment that children recognize topologic rela-tions far earlier than Euclidean geometricfigures is unsound;2)infants tend to drawall their circles,squares and triangles in theshape of irregular circles,because theirfinger muscles and drawing skill are not yetwell-developed.Therefore,what the infantsdraw can not be used to support Piaget'sargument that children's understanding ofgeometric figures begins with topology.
