과학놀이 활동이 정신지체 학생의 과학적 탐구능력과 과학적 태도에 미치는 효과 = (A) study on the effect of experimental play activities on exploring ability and scientific attitude of mentally retarded students

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aimed to identify the effect of experimental play activity programs on scientific exploring abilities and attitude of mentally retarded students.
The subjects of the study were twenty mentally retarded students who go to special middle and high schools in Jeonnam. Sixteen experimental play activity programs were applied to them twice a week and sixteen times for eight weeks, and the results were presented as follows:
First, the programs had a positive effect on experimental exploring abilities of mentally handicapped students. The experimental exploring abilities were divided into sub-categories. Of five sub-categories, the ability to classify and observe was greatly improved, and the ability to reason measure and expect showed a positive progress. Especially, it was encouraging in that it provided good examples of improved experimental exploring abilities to the other group.
Second, it was found that experimental play activity programs had a positive effect on enhancing experimental attitude of mentally retarded students. When sub-categories of experimental attitude were specifically analysed, it was found that cooperative, patient, positive and curious attitudes were greatly improved, and frank, critical, objective, and open attitudes progressed positively. However, no change was observed in judgement deferring. When they were divided into two groups and controlled, no difference was observed depending on IQ in most of sub-categories.
Based on the above results, this study intended to present the following suggestions:
First, it suggested that the number of subjects should be expanded to compare the effects of experimental play activity programs.
Second, it suggested that experimental play tools should be steadily developed for the research on the effect of the programs on learning motivation and daily habits of mentally retarded students.
As this study was performed for such a short time, it was thought that it is difficult to generalize the results of the study to other types of disabilities or other levels of disabilities.
