다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The role and impotance of play in early development has been of interest to those studying and working with young children for quite some time. It is now widely assumed that play and exploration have a central role in the adaptability, learning, cognitive development, socioemotional development and early education of the young child.
The purpose of this stydy is to examine the nature of infants' exploratory play and environmental influence to play. We are exploring following questions.
1. Is there any developmental sequences in infant exploratory play?
2. What kind of cognitive values have infant exploratory play?
3. Is there any individual differences in play?
4. What kind of factors can influence to infant exploratory play?
5. What is adult's role to increase exploratory play quality?
The results are as follows. Play is enjoyable and satisfactory in itself. Piaget saw play activity as providing the vechile for the infant of advance through an evolving series of increasingly sophisticated ways of understanding the world.
Research on infant exploratory play indicates that play and learning are interrelated early in life ; that individual differences in the quality of exploratory play are related to cognitive development ; and, perhaps most importantly, that the quality of exploratory play is influenced by infants' rearing environments. This body of research has important implications of planning and implementing infant care settings.
