통합적 과학 놀이 활동이 유아의 과학적 개념 및 탐구능력에 미치는 효과 = (The) Effect of Whole Play Activity through Science on Scientific Concepts and Investigation Activity in Young Children

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The scientific education for young children is important in that it makes them learn knowledge and function necessary for everyday life and offers them to understand the surrounding world which they always contacts with.
The whole play activity through science makes much of young children's activity and spread on scientific activity as a part associated with a series of learning activities.
The purpose of this study is to know the effect of whole play activity on scientific concepts and investigation activity in young children and the concrete research tasks are as follows.
1. Can the scientific concepts of the group with whole play activity through science be improved better than the group without it?
2. Can the scientific investigation ability of the group with whole play activity through science be improved better than the group without it?
The 46 young children, aged 5, in public an attached kindergarten in ‘J’ city, Chullabukdo, were selected as subjects and were divided into two groups: 23 experimental group and comparative control group.
The researcher plans scientific activity with a subject of ‘chicken’ and ‘seed’. The scientific activity between experimental group and control group have same subjects and contents, but the former conducted a whole play activity through science and the latter conducted a simple play activity through science. Also, a pre-test and after-test were conducted to examine the effect of play activity through science for all subjects concerned.
The scientific concept were indicated with frequency and rate and scientific used ‘T’ test between groups. The instrument for test for pre-test and after-test were same and the materials for scientific investigation ability were analyzed with SPSS.
The conclusions for this study are as follows.
1st, the young children of experimental group involved in whole play activity through science had much improvement in the concept of science than those of control group.
2nd, the young children of experimental group involved in whole play activity through science had much improvement in scientific investigation ability than those of control group.
In summary, young children with whole play activity through science had much improvement in improving scientific concept and scientific investigation ability than the young children with artificial scientific experience by a teacher.
