本研究主要在探究幼兒的影概念。本研究從屏東市區兩所幼稚園以分層隨機抽樣的方式分別選取四歲與五歲幼兒各16人。每位幼兒接受兩次個別晤談。透過圖卡指認、口語解釋及實物操作製造影子，來蒐集質性與量化資料。本研究從光源與影子的關係、影子的濃淡、方向、大小、及形狀等多個向度去探究幼兒影概念。結果顯示五歲幼兒對影子的產生、方向、大小、及形狀已有某種程度的了解，而五歲幼兒在這些方面的了解都較四歲幼兒顯著為佳。

The purpose of this study was to examine young children's views about shadow. Sixteen fouryear-olds and sixteen five-year-olds were randomly selected from two kindergartens. Each child was interviewed twice individually. Data were collected by a mixture of pictures pointing, verbal explanation, and manipulation, and were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. This work focused on five facets of children’s ideas about shadow: ideas about the source of light, shadow orientation, shadow shape, shadow size, and shadow intensity. The five-year-olds performed significantly better on shadow production, production of shadow shape, and production of shadow size, and gave more reasonable explanations than did the four-year-olds.
