프로젝트 활동에 의한 수업방법이 유아의 수학성취에 미치는 효과 = The Effect of the Project Approach on Young Children's Mathematical Achievement

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is an effort to redirect kindergarten mathematical education through analyzing the effects of the Project Approach on young children`s mathematical achievement. The instrument used to measure young children`s mathematical achievement was SEAT-2 (Stanford Early Achievement Test-2, 1992) devised by the Psychological Corporation. The project activity was Soccer, which was practiced about twice a week for 11 weeks (from September 14 to December 1, 1999), each practice took thirty minutes to one hour thirty minutes according to the situations. The subjects who were five-year-old (71-month-old) children in a kindergarten located in K city in Kyungbook province were divided into a control group (20 children) and an experimental group (12 children). The data analyzed by ANCOVA show the following results: In terms of the concepts of numbers among the four sub-areas of the mathematical achievement (concepts of numbers, problem-solving, geometry, measurement), there was a significant statistical difference between the two groups, while in terms of the other three areas there were no statistical significant differences.
