다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to investigate preschoolers` grounded concepts about their discriminating living and non-living kinds. Twenty-one kindergarten children were sampled and interviewed to be investigated their grounded concept about living kinds in a metropolitan city. The interview questions was consisted of 24 tasks about living and non-living kinds(6 animals, 6 plants, 6 natural non-living things, and 6 artificial things). In the interview, subjects were initially asked to discriminate living or non-living kind about the presented task card. Then, they explained questions about their grounded concept for discriminating living and non-ling kinds. The results showed that the kindergarteners` ability to discriminate living kinds was the highest in the animal category and they possessed grounded concepts of mobility and moving by oneself, animal-shaping, eatable object, biological growth and respiration, and preserving a physical morphology to discriminate living and non-living kinds. This study also discussed an implication on nature education for kindergarten children.
