This study was tried for the goal to examine the factor to affect selfcontrol ability and view receptivity of baby through meditation
activity centering around domain which considers interest and experience at babyhood to be the base of education for the whole man and to try to offer basic data to be necessary for verifying the effect of program of meditation activity centering around domain.
So, subjects of study for the attainment of study goal are as follows :
1. How is the influence that meditation activity centering around domain affects baby self-control ability?
2. How is the influence that meditation activity centering around domain affects baby view receptivity?
3. How does the effect of meditation activity centering around domain by each lower factor appear?
4. How is the relation betweel self-control ability and view receptivity?
This study passed through following progression course for the verification of this subject of study.
First, constitution of baby meditation program centering around domain which was used in this study was made, so that connection with revised 7th baby curriculum may be made, by referring to meditation education in the course of baby education for the teacher support of Buddhism kindergarten by Kwon, Dae Won(2008), natural meditation program by Lee, Soo Kyoung(2006), Baby Buddhas of Lisa Desmond(2004)-meditation guide for children, and meditation play for children by Slyvia Lendner-Fisher(2008), for the purpose of improving self-control ability and view receptivity of baby on the basis of development and interest of baby.
Second, as for test tool of baby self-control ability, test tool of baby selfcontrol ability which was reconstituted by correcting and supplementing on the basis of the opinion after verification for appropriateness as to whether question items are appropriate to character of study from 2 major professors about [valuation tool of self-control ability] manufactured for teacher by Yang, Ouk Seung(2006) was used.
Third, as for tool to measure view receptivity which was used in this study, test tool of view receptivity(view of other intention, view of other thinking, & view of other feeling) of baby was used as what Shin, Hyun Ouk(1995) corrected and supplemented through preliminary test on the basis of tool of view receptivity of Hudson, Forman Brion(1982) and Jeon, Cheol Wook (2005) reused.
This study was made with preliminary test for 1 week, prior test for 1 week, experiment disposal for 10 weeks, and post test for 1 week from Aug. 4, 2008 to Nov. 14, after classifying into experiment group and control group by 20 persons on 5-year-old 40 persons at G kindergarten located in Seoul. In addition, collected data were analyzed by using SPSS WINDOWS 12.0 program. And, for the calculation of basic data, frequency & percentage, and technical statistic quantity of average and standard deviation were used. And, for the reliability verification of used measure, Cronbach's a coefficient was calculated. In addition, so as to grasp whether there is significant difference in the marks of increase portion after calculating average and standard deviation of prior test and post test, this researcher executed t-test and paired-t test. And, so as to grasp the relation between selfcontrol ability and view receptivity, this researcher made correlation analysis of Pearson. And, following discussion may be made about the subjects of study that this study presented.
First, as the result to have executed meditation activity centering around domain so as to analyze the factor to affect self-control ability of baby, it was clarified that planning & inspection & evaluation, emotion recognition, emotion control and coping etc. were improved much out of 5 lower domains of self-control ability.
Second, as the result to have executed meditation activity centering around domain so as to analyze the factor to affect view receptivity of baby, it was clarified that view of other intention, view of other thinking, & view of other feeling etc. which are lower domain of view receptivity were improved much.
Third, to see the effect of meditation activity by lower factors for selfcontrol ability and view receptivity, domain which showed effect greatly out of lower factor of self-control ability is domain of emotion control.
Then, it was clarified that much improvement was shown after the fact in comparison with before the fact, whereas emotion recognition shows the lowest change.
To see view receptivity by lower factor, it was clarified that view receptivity of other intention shows the greatest improvement after the fact in comparison with before the fact, whereas view receptivity of other thinking shows the lowest change.
Fourth, as the result of analyzing correlation of Pearson so as to grasp the relation between self-control ability and view receptivity, it emerged that view receptivity increases, as level of self-control ability is high. It can be seen that this result have influence on the ability of emotion control to get to obtain peace of mind and sense of security by concentrating on their own mind spontaneously naturally, to control themselves naturally by harmonizing with surroundings and to be able to make understanding and consideration for others while babies do meditation activity centering around domain which considers the interest and development level of babies.
That is, it is expected that meditation activity centering around domain will give basic help for the formation of desirable personal relations by forming smooth character in the growth of baby and forming selfcontrol ability to be able to control own feeling and desire as sound society members and view receptivity to be the action to be intimate to society which is necessary for personal relations.
So, this researcher thinks that diverse programs that meditation may be made naturally as the activity centering around domain should be developed, so that plan and application may be made, forming balanced harmony with the development level of baby on the basis of integrated curriculum constitution centering around subject as the method to be applied easily and interestingly on the spot of baby education which is the field of base of education for the whole man and to be able to offer experience most effectively on the basis of this study.
