지리적 체험활동 프로그램이 유아의 지리개념 형성에 미치는 영향 : 지도 이해능력을 중심으로 = The influence of geographic experiential activity program on the formation of geographic concept of young children

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to revitalize the children's geographic education by touching, operation, observing, experiencing the elements related to geography in daily life and form the geographic concept of children.
The subject for the study are the following.
1. What is the effect of geographic experiential activity program on the ability of reading map?
1-1. What is the effect of geographic experiential activity program on the concept of orientation ?
1-2. What is the effect of geographic experiential activity program on the concept of perspective ?
1-3. What is the effect of geographic experiential activity program on the concept of symbol ?
2. What is the effect of geographic experiential activity program on the ability of representing map?
This study is conducted for 4weeks with 44 5-year-old children in the kindergarten(experiment group 22, comparison group 22).
The result of this study is shown as the following.
First, the Pre/Post test and then t-test were operated to find out what the Geographic Experiential activity program affect on the ability of reading map (Orientation, Perspective, symbol). And the result of investige is that the Geographic Experiential activity program has a positive influence on the Concept of Orientation, perspective, Symbol in the experiment group. Especially compared with the formation age of concept of orientation, perspective, symbol from the preceding research, high ability of achievement appeared at the same age however the score went up little in the comparative group.
Second to analyze the influence of Geographic experiential activity program on the ability of representing map, children's change of map was described dividing the opening-the middle-the last part (or the opening -the last part) in the experiment group. And the 2 groups (experiment/comparative group) represented 3 subjects (represent the classroom of frito represent the house from kindergarten, to represent the village as a bird's view) before and after operating the program. Then there were little bit of difference between them .
As a result, the children in the experiment group could generally stand for the space, orientation, perspective, symbol on the map better than other group.
The conclusion of this study is shown as the following.
Geographic experiential activity program is effective for ability of comprehending map and that means it can be used as a basic materials in children's geographic education.
And through the geographic experiential activity program, children come to be concerned about their living place, began to use a term of left and right properly in daily life, to estimate a shape from a different view, to use proper symbols and understand the meaning of them, besides children get to read and comprehend a simple map, to represent a basic map which is represented orientation, perspective, symbol centering around familiar circumstance and area to them.
