孩子们对探索的兴趣是他们好奇心的标志。作为组织儿童环境的重要角色，教师和家长对儿童探究行为的反应可能促进或阻碍儿童进一步探究的欲望。本研究参照Kurt Lewin的“整体情境”概念，设计了不同情境下儿童探索行为的假设情境，以了解教师和家长对儿童探索行为的理解、他们在情境中的反应，以及他们反应背后的理据。研究结果表明，成人允许儿童探索的决定是受儿童，成人和情境因素的影响。
Children’s interest in exploration is the hallmark of their curiosity. As people who are significant in organising children’s environment, how teachers and parents respond to children’s exploratory behaviours may promote or hinder the child’s desire for further investigation. With reference to Kurt Lewin’s concept of ‘total situation’, various hypothetical scenarios on children’s exploratory behaviours in different contexts were designed to solicit teachers’ and parents’ interpretation of the behaviour, how they might respond in the situation and the rationale behind their response. The findings indicated that the decision of adults in allowing children to explore is influenced by a combination of child, adult and situational factors.
