자연적 공간의 자유놀이에 나타난 창조와 변형 = Creation and Transformation in Free Play Implemented in Natural Spaces

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study analyzed the free play implemented in natural outdoor spaces focusing on creation and transformation. The researchers selected one forest preschool where children spent most of time in natural outdoor spaces such as forest, lake, and parks, and observed their free play for 9 months. As a result, children created and transformed plot, characters, rules, play methods and types with their teachers. The resources which supported creation and transformation in their play were natural environment and natural object, their bodies, and teachers and peers. Children and teachers created and transformed their play to have fun, to adjust to the level of children, and to respond to children`s needs. This kind of free play appears to improve concentration and absorption, and creativity and imagination of children, and to foster collaboration and communication among children and between children and teachers. In order to foster fun and creative free play, teachers should allow children to play in changeable play environment and enough time to concentrated on their play, provide open-ended materials, and support and enlarge children`s play through participating as players.
