표상물과 참조공간의 공간관계에 따른 3, 4세 유아의 공간표상 = Spatial representation of young children by spatial relations between the spatial product and the reference space

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to identify children`s spatial representation and understanding of spatial relations between the spatial product and the reference space, and to examine whether these effects differ in accordance to both types of spatial product (scale model, map). Participants were 40 three-year-olds and 40 four-year-olds. Study results reveal that both three-year-olds and four-year-olds can understand the spatial relations between the spatial product and the reference space (topological, projective, Euclidean). Even three-year-olds can identify various analogous locations (topological spatial relations) and understand viewing azimuth when the scale model (or map) and the referent space are misaligned by 90° or 180°; they can also understand viewing angle, that is, the vantage point along the vertical dimension, as in viewing a space from directly overhead as well as oblique viewing angles. They also understand scale, that is, the ratio between the size of the referent space and scale model (or map) from 1:7 scale to 1:16 scale. There is no significant difference in the children`s spatial representation depending on the type of spatial product (scale model, map). Most importantly, the results reveal that the children`s spatial representation and understanding of spatial relations between the spatial product and the reference space is developmental and that spatial representation and understanding of spatial relations between spatial product and reference space develop gradually from when they are three to when they turn four.
