다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigated the long-term effect of wordless picture book reading activities on the development of young children`s concept of story. Subjects were 40 five-year-old children, 20 boys and 20 girls, from a kindergarten in Seoul. The children were randomly divided into two groups, an experimental and a control group matching gender. The children in the experimental group took part in a total 14 reading activities using 7 wordless picture books during 7 weeks while the children in the control group had no wordless picture book activities. Both the control and the experimental group did pretest, post test and 6 month-post test about story concept using three wordless picture books. Data were coded by the categories of vanKraayenoord & Paris(1996) and analyzed by t-test. The results were as follows: 1. There was a significant difference in the frequency of utterances on story concept between the experimental and the control group. The experimental group showed more gain than the control group both immediately after the experimental activities and after 6 months. 2. There was no significant difference in the frequency of utterances regarding story construction between boys and girls in the experimental group. 3. There were significant differences in story concept between the groups after the experimental sessions and after 6 months in terms of comments on title and author, labeling emotions, identifying motives, predicting what will occur next and constructing dialogue for characters. 4. There were significant immediate and 6 month post test differences according to gender in using a storytelling voice and intonation, bringing in prior experiences and knowledge and providing a moral for stories.
