The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of structure type on the child's understanding of story and recalling of the content of the stories. The story structure was classified into three classes according as how to be connect episode and episode. They were the hierarchial structure, the sequential structure and the discontinuous structure.
The study questions were as follows :
(1) How difference are the child's understanding of story according to story structure types(hierarchial structure, sequential structure and the discontinuous structure)?
(2) How difference are the child's understanding of the content according to story structure types(hierarchial structure, sequential structure and the discontinuous structure)?
The subject of this study were 69 kindergarten 5-year-old children (38 male, 31female). 69 young children were chosen divided three groul. In this study, The children heard three stories of different of three story structure types(hierarchial structure, sequential structure and the discontinuous structure), were be tested how to understanding of story and recalling of the content of stories.
The major results of this study can be summarized as follows.
(1) According to story structures(hierarchial structure, sequential structure and the discontinuous structure), the score of child's understanding of story was significant differences(P<.01). In the hierarchical structure type, the score of child's understanding of story showed higher than the sequential structure type and discontinuous structure. In the sequential structure type, the score of child's understanding of story showed higher than the discontinuous structure.
(2) According to story structures(hierarchial structure, sequential structure and the discontinuous structure), the score of child's recalling of content of the story was significant differences(P<.01). In the hierarchical structure type, the score of child's understanding of story showed higher than the sequential structure type and and discontinuous structure. In the sequential structure type, the score of child's understanding of story showed higher than the discontinuous structure.
