摘要：The purpose of this study was to look into the meaning of kindergarten experiences of first graders with the use of phenomenological research. The paricipants of this study were 10 elementary school students. Through eleven interviews per person and journal writings,the voice of participants wascondensed into three categories : (1) Kindergarten life was new and delightful;(2) they were limited in aserion of their rights;and (3) they experienced separation and longing. We should understand children's experience by their explanations and give consideration to children not as objects but as subjects. By doing so,we can provide more meaningful experiences to children in kindergrten.
