들풀 프로젝트 활동이 유아의 환경 친화적 태도 및 과학적 탐구 능력에 미치는 영향 = (The)effects of wild plant project on the early children's attitude toward the environment and their scientific research ability

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Industrialization, mechanization and urbanization have threatened our ecosystem since the industrial society and children have spent their childhood while losing their childlike innocence without making contact with nature.
Thus, the importance of the environmental education has recently been risen and a nature-friendly education as an effective education method has been emphasized. The nature-friendly education through the continuous relationship between children and nature could help enhance the sensibility for nature and form the awe of life and also help children internalize ecological ethics.
This means that the early childhood education should be performed so that they can understand nature consecutively and realize it through researching and making contact with nature directly rather than formal and structured activities in the infant period.
This study aims to find out how the project using the wild plants that the children are able to see easily around them could affect their attitude towards the environment and their scientific research ability.
The following hypotheses were formed for this study.
Hypothesis 1: Wild Plant Project Activity will affect the environment-friendly attitude of the children positively.
Hypothesis 2: Wild Plant Project Activity will also affect the scientific research ability of the children positively.
The results of this study are as follows.
First, the children who experienced 'Wild Plant Project' have more nature-friendly attitude and the environment-preserving attitude than those who studied the general subjects. In particular, there are more distinguished differences between the two groups in the nature-friendly attitude.
Second, the children who experienced 'Wild Plant Project' brought about the great changes in the five fields, the subordinate elements for the scientific research ability compared to those who studied the general subjects.
These results imply that 'Wild Plant Project' for the preschoolers is more desirable and effective educational activity for positively changing the children's attitude towards the environment and developing their scientific research ability. Therefore, it seems to need more research and developments so that the project approach could be revitalized in the kindergarten.
