Pedagogy of a Fable
Abstract
Fables are stories intended to imbue a moral lesson. The research guiding this investigation explored how kindergarteners perceived the moral of a fable as compared to a preservice teachers intended goal. Case study framed the methodology, with participants consisting of 20 kindergarteners. The fable The Lion and the Mouse was told orally in a whole group setting using 3 puppets. The kindergartners completed an assessment with multiple-choice, T/F, and drew a picture. Through the drawings, students demonstrated personal connections with the story. Three themes emerged from the data: social constructs, social justice, and social competency.
