本研究採質的研究方法，針對大班幼兒(平均年齡五歲八個月)進行研究，主要目的是探究幼兒如何建構故事及創塑意義。所得的研究結果可分兩部分說明:一為透過建構故事的三個層面探討幼兒如何建構故事及創塑意義，二為透過研究者與幼兒進行故事討論的資料，探討幼兒如何詮釋自己所建構的故事。建構故事包含三個層面，一是對圖畫書作全面性的預覽--「預覽」或許可以視為幼兒建構故事及創塑意義的預備階段。然而其是否絕對影響幼兒對故事的建構及意義的創塑，則有待更進一步的研究。二是故事的形成--可從幼兒「對個別圖片的描述」以及「對連串圖片的描述」兩個方向來說明。幼兒建構故事最典型的方式是--對個別圖片進行描述，然後逐步建構出完整的故事。對連串圖片的描述是指幼兒不對個別畫面中的動作或內容進行直接的描述，而間接地說出相鄰幾個畫面所代表的意涵，此種建構故事的方式似乎包含後設思考的成分，同時，圖片間的關係被巧妙地加以連結。三是表現故事的方式-幼兒會使用「後設語言」及「解說的策略」來表現故事。此外，以豐富的肢體語言表現故事，甚至取代了詳細的口語描述，亦是幼兒創塑意義的另一種方式。幼兒能夠詮釋自己所建構的故事，其詮釋的依據主要有三，一是以直覺的觀點作直接的推理；二是以圖畫書中的圖片作為詮釋的依據；三是以相關的生活經驗、背景知識作為詮釋的依據。其中，以第三者佔最多數及明顯地為幼兒所引用。最後，研究者提出幾點建議供父母、幼教老師以及未來的研究者參考。

This study adopts qualitative research method to reach main purposes which are to understand how children (at the average age of 5 years and 8 months old) construct a story from a picture book and make meaning of the story. The results can be divided into two parts. The first is to probe how children construct a story and make meaning of the story . The second is to probe how children interpret a story constructed by themselves.Story construction includes three aspects. The first aspect is to preview the picture book entirely. "Preview the book " can be regarded as the preparatory stage that children start to construct a story and make meaning of the story. However , We are not sure that if it absolutely influences children to construct a story or to make its meaning. Further research is necessary. The second aspect is the accomplishment of a story. There are two methods. The typical method that children construct a story is to describe the individual picture , and then construct a complete story gradually. To describe the continuous pictures is the other method that adopted by children to construct a story. This method seems to contain matacognition, and at the same time , the consequence of the pictures are connected fluently. The third aspect is how children express a story. Children use "matalinguistic" and "explanation strategies" to express a story. Besides , there is another way that children make meaning of a story. The way is that children adopt rich body language to express a story.Children can interpret a story constructed by themselves. There are three bases of interpretation : 1.direct comprehension based on intuition；2.the interpretation is based on the pictures of the book；3. the interpretation is based on the daily experiences and related knowledge. Among which , the third basis is adopted most by the children. Finally , the research brings up some suggestions to parents , teachers ,and future researchers.
