가정연계 과학활동이 유아의 호기심, 부모의 과학교육 태도 및 부모-자녀의 과학적 상호작용에 미치는 효과 = (THE) EFFECTS OF TAKE-HOME SCIENCE ACT IVITIES ON CURIOSITY, PARENTS ATTITUDES TOWARD SCIENCE, AND PARENT/CHILD INTERACTIONS TOWARD SCIENCE

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to examined the effects of take-home science activities on curiosity levels, parents attitudes toward science, and parents/child interactions toward science based upon parents partnership involvement programs.
Research questions were as follows:
1. What is the effect of Take-Home Science Activities on the curiosity of child?
2. What is the effect of Take-Home Science Activities on the parent attitude toward science?
3. What is the effect of Take-Home Science Activities on the parent/child interactions toward science?
The subjects of the study were 56 five-years-old children and their mothers of the early childhood educational center in the city of G, Kyonggi-do. 29 children were in the experimental group and 27 in the control group and were tested using a pre-and post-treatment. The evaluation was conducted by the test of curiosity level, the test of parents attitudes towards science, and the test of parents/child interactions towards science.
The data were analyzed by FACTOR analysis, cronbach's α, t-test SPSS WIN.8.0..
1. The contents of the curiosity level test were the tests of child's curiosity drawer box and perference of unknown.
2. The contents of the parents attitudes towards science test were 17 items upon the importance of science, the parents' role of science education and the methodology of science education.
3. The contents of the parents/child interactions towards science test were 13 items upon parents.
Five science activities upon the parent/child were used in this study such as a snail observation, a magnet play, making popcorn, water play, a noodle observation.
The results of the study were summarized as followings:
First, there were significant improvements of curiosity level of child by the take-home science activities the take-home science education program should facilitate the intellectual development of child, improve the child curiosity of science as well as science activities and promote the science activities.
Second, there were significant improvements of parents attitudes towards science by the take-home science activities
Third, there were significant improvements of parents/child interactions towards science by the take-home science activities the take-home science education program should improve the parents attitudes toward science and provides the effects on parents/child interactions with science by parents' participating in activities.
