چکیده

پژوهش حاضر با هدف مطالعه روایت‌های معلمان از مفهوم تخیل در محیط مهدکودک انجام گردید. این پژوهش تفسیری و کیفی است که با راهبرد روایت نگاری و خرده راهبرد پیش روایت انجام شد. مشارکت‌کنندگان 20 معلم مجرب «11 مرد و 9 زن» بودند. نمونه‌گیری به روش هدفمند (ناهمگن) با حداکثر تنوع انجام شد. همچنین برای گردآوری داده‌ها از یک منشور مصاحبه نیمه‌ساختاریافته استفاده گردید، که تا رسیدن به اشباع نظری ادامه یافت. افزون بر این، کدگذاری داده‌ها با استفاده از الگوی Brown and Clark (2012)، به روش تحلیل مضمون انجام گرفت و سرانجام داده‌های گردآوری‌شده با نرم‌افزار MAXQDA 20 تجزیه‌وتحلیل شدند. نتایج نشان داد که چهار روایت تحت عناوین «بافت محور، تطبیق محور، تعامل محور، پیشرفت محور» از درک و تصور مفهوم تخیل قابل احصاء بود. با وجود گوناگونی روایت‌ها، مهارت‌های اساسی برای پرورش مفهوم تخیل مستلزم «خلاقیت و ابتکار، انعطاف‌پذیری ذهنی، تفکر واگرا و تحمل ابهام» است و نهایتاً تأکید آنان در ضمن چالش‌ها و موانع بر مفاهیمی نظیر «محدودیت‌های شناختی، فرهنگ اجتماعی، موانع سازمانی و عوامل روانی» بود که مشارکت‌کنندگان بدان تأکید می‌ورزیدند؛ بنابراین، بررسی و شناسایی این مضامین می‌تواند به درک بهتر مسیرهای پرورش تخیل و طراحی راهکارهای مؤثر برای مقابله چالش‌ها کمک کند.

چکیده [English]

This study aimed to study teachers' narratives of the concept of imagination in a kindergarten environment. This is an interpretive and qualitative study that was conducted with a narrative writing strategy and a pre-narrative sub-strategy. The participants were 20 experienced teachers, "11 men and 9 women." Purposive sampling (heterogeneous) was carried out with maximum diversity. A semi-structured interview protocol was also used to collect data and continued until theoretical saturation was reached. In addition, data coding was carried out using the Brown and Clark’s (2012) model, using thematic analysis. Finally, the collected data were analyzed through MAXQDA 20 software. The results showed that four meta-narratives were developed as "context-oriented, application-oriented, interaction-oriented, and progress-oriented" from understanding and imagining the concept of imagination. Despite the diversity of meta-narratives, the basic skills for cultivating the concept of imagination require "creativity and originality, mental flexibility, divergent thinking, and tolerance for ambiguity." Finally, their emphasis, in addition to challenges and obstacles, was on concepts such as “cognitive limitations, social culture, organizational barriers, and psychological factors” that the participants emphasized. Therefore, examining and identifying these themes can help to better understand the paths of cultivating imagination and designing effective solutions to deal with challenges.
