유치원 언어전달활동 운영 실태와 개선방안에 관한 연구 = A Study of the Realities of Message Delivery Activity in Early Childhood Programs

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this survey research was to grasp how the message delivery activity was being managed in Korean kindergartens and to explore ways to improve its educational usefulness. The participants were 151 kindergarten teachers in Seoul, Kyung-gi, and the Inchon area. A questionnaire was developed to investigate the goals of the message delivery activity, the contents and the methods in practice, assessment of the results, and points to be improved. The teachers responded that the primary purposes of the activity were to develop oral ability to listen to and deliver the message, to increase the memory span, and to boost students’ interests in written letters, which were consistent with curricula goals of language arts described in the 2007 revised national kindergarten curriculum. The analysis of the message contents showed that the topics were closely relevant to students’ lives in the kindergarten, suggesting that the activity was useful not only in developing young children’s oral language proficiency, but in sharing information about activities they engaged in, in the kindergarten with their parents. Even though the parents were expected to write down the message their children delivered to them, they lacked guidance as to how to maximize its learning benefits. In addition, it was revealed that the teachers were not providing sufficient and prompt feedback to the messages returned to them from the students’ parents. It is hoped that the results of the study provide useful information about how to make better use of the message delivery activity.

본 연구의 목적은 많은 유치원에서 실시되고 있는 언어전달활동의 실태를 파악하고 발전방향을 모색하는데 있다. 본 연구 목적을 위해 서울과 수도권에 있는 유치원 교사 151명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고 언어전달장을 분석하였다. 조사결과 유치원 교사들은 언어전달 활동의 목표로 다른 사람의 말을 잘 듣고 전달하는 능력, 기억력 증진, 글자에 관심가지기, 언어표현력 증진등을 제시하였다. 구체적 전달내용을 분석한 결과 유아들의 유치원 생활 전반이 전달 내용으로 다루어짐으로써 언어전달활동이 유아를 교육하는 기능뿐만 아니라 학부모에게 자녀의 유치원 생활에 대한 정보를 제공하는 기능도 함께 수행하는 것으로 드러났다. 반면에 언어전달활동에 대한 학부모의 적극적인 참여를 끌어내기 위한 안내 부족과 언어전달활동에 대한 교사의 추후 지도 부족 등이 개선사항으로 밝혀졌다. 본 연구결과는 유아의 발달에 적합하고 효율적인 언어전달활동 프로그램 개발의 중요한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
