다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The present study was conducted to explore the content and effectiveness of literacy-related peer interaction among 3- and 5-year-old preschoolers. This study consisted of nineteen, 3-year-old and thirty-one, 5-year-old children. Their interactive events at the literacy tables were observed, audiotaped, and later transcribed. Children`s literacy related peer interactions were analyzed and described in terms of kind, and accuracy of information, and whether the literacy-related problem was solved or not. The results included : (1) The major kinds of literacy information in which children exchanged with each other were letters/words, literacy functions, print conventions, story content, vocabulary, and use of context-sensitive strategy in reading. They coincided with basic literacy knowledge which has been commonly noted by researchers. (2) For both age groups, the proportion of accurate information was the highest, followed by not applicable, partially accurate, and wrong information. (3) For both age groups, children generally solved the literacy-related problem through peer interaction. Results of this study indicated that children were substantial sources of peers` literacy learning.
