협력적 동작표현활동이 유아의 친사회적 기술에 미치는 효과 = The Effect of Collaborative Movement Expression On Young Childrens Prosocial Skills

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 협력적 동작표현활동이 개별적 동작표현활동에 비해 유아의 친사회적 기술 증진에 더 효과적인지 알아보는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위해 만 5세 유아 21명을 두 집단으로 나누어 6주간 12회에 걸쳐 실험집단에는 소집단 토의를 통한 협력적 동작표현활동을 실시하였고, 비교집단에는 개별적 동작표현활동을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 협력적 동작 표현활동은 개별적 동작 표현활동에 비해 유아의 친사회적 기술을 유의미하게 증진시키는 것으로 나타났다. 친사회적 기술 중 개인정서 조절능력, 대인관계 형성능력은 의미 있게 향상되었으나, 학교적응 능력에는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This research examines whether young children's collaborative activity in movement expression is more effective in developing their prosocial skills than is individual movement expression. The subjects of this study are five year old children. The experimental group engaged in collaborative movement expression activities 12 times during a six week period. The same number of individual movement expressive activities were used during that period with a control group. Dependence, which is regarded as prosocial skill, consists an ability to control ones emotions, interpersonal relational competence and school adaptive competence. This research was analysed by t-test to obtain results of pre-test and post-test of the experimental group and control group. The analysis found collaborative activity was more effective than individual activity in terms of developing the prosocial skills of young children. It was also significantly effective in developing individual emotional control ability and interpersonal relational competence. However, there was no statistical difference in school adaptive competence between collaborative and individual expressive movement. While this research used discussion and self-expression as strategies for developing prosocial skills, we suggest that further research be conducted in collaborative activities in order to employ varied teaching strategies.
