The Influence Of Print Awareness On The Trust And Subsequent Use Of Oral And Print Information For 4-6-year-old Children

Children can obtain indirect information from the outside through spoken or print.The trust and application of information provided by the outside is the premise of transforming information into individual knowledge.Previous studies have found that,in the face of the print and oral information provided by the outside world,children will show information trust and use differences: with the increase of children's literacy level,compared with oral information,children tend to trust and use text information gradually.Previous studies have explored the effects of tagged symbols and children's literacy level on children's bias to trust and use of text information,but have not yet reached a consistent conclusion.Other researchers suggest that print awareness may be a factor of information and use differences in young children,but it has not been confirmed.This study conducted an experimental study on the characteristics of trust and application of two different types of information in children's spoken and written language,the characteristics of the development of children's awareness of print,and the influence of children's awareness of print on their trust and use of information from three aspects.91 children aged 4-6 years with normal intelligence and no cognitive neurological impairment were randomly selected from a kindergarten in Hangzhou.The trust and application characteristics of children to oral and written information were tested by classical mixture classification task.Using word moving task,word size task and dictionary judgment task,print function awareness,print form awareness and character rule awareness were investigated,and the amount of literacy and memory ability of children were also measured.This paper analyzes the characteristics of trust and application of 4-6-year-old children,the development print awareness,and the influence of children's print awareness on information trust and application of 4-6-year-old children by SPSS20.0 and MPlus7.11 statistical software.The results of the study on the characteristics of information trust and application of children aged 4-6 years are as follows: 1.The trust in oral information of children aged 4-6 years was significantly lower than that in written information,and with the increase of literacy,the trust in oral information gradually decreased,and the trust in text information remained high,which may be related to children's cognitive vigilance.At the same time,it is also the expression of the development of children's print awareness;2.4-6 years old children will continue to use the information they trusted before,but the use of information is less than the trusted information,which may be a sign of children forgetting;3.Under the influence of literacy,children aged 4-6 are more inclined to use the trusted text information than oral information,which is actually the expression of the development of children's print awareness.The results of the research on the characteristics of 4-6-year-old children's print awareness show that: 1.5 years old may be a turning point in the development of children's print awareness;2.On the basis of the understanding of the morphological features,the children aged 4-6 years old gradually realized the fixed and inconsistent features of the characterizing functions of the characters,and the first development of the understanding of the characters was the morphological characteristics of the characters.Finally,the children gradually realize the composition rules of characters,and develop the awareness of character rules.The acquisition of this awareness may be the main factor influencing the increasing of children's literacy.The results of the study on the influence of the children's print awareness on the information trust and application showed that the children's print awareness could not directly predict the information and use of the children,and the amount of literacy could directly predict the children's use of the text information.The print awareness exerts an influence on the use of text information through the intermediary function of literacy.Print awareness is one of the reasons why children with high literacy tend to use text information,and it is also a more meaningful influence factor than literacy.
