초등학생의 세계 포섭관계의 이해도 발달 = Development of Children`s Understanding on the Nested Hierarchy of World

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this study, I investigated the children`s understanding on the nested hierarchy of world. As the results of this study, children`s understanding developed as grades increased. It`s development is growing rapidly at grade 2(age 8) and 4(age 10), and is grown at grade 5(age 11). But there is no difference between male and female. Through its development, understanding of the nested hierarchy is grown from verbal to rational mathematical, and to geographical. And in analysis of graphic on the nested hierarchy of world, lower grades students understood spatial nested units as discrete, but higher grades students did those as concentric and integral. Also fallacy patterns of the nested hierarchy of world are appeared differently in lower grades, but it is decreased in higher grades. The typical fallacy pattern is misunderstanding on the inclusion between Asia and Eastern Asia over all grades. And next fallacy is egocentric understanding on Korea in lower grades. But these fallacies are decreased as grades grow, because of development of thinking ability and increase of knowledge.
