원예활동 프로그램이 유아의 환경 인식과 확산적 사고에 미치는 영향 = Effects of Horticultural Activity Program on Environmental Perceptions and Divergent Thinking of Young Children

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 원예프로그램이 유아의 환경 인식태도 및 확산적 사고에 미치는 영향에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 경산시의 D, J초등학교 병설 유치원을 다니고 있는 만 4~5세 유아를 대상으로 2010년 5월 11일부터 7월 16일 까지 매주 목요일 오전 10시부터 1시간, 주 1회, 총 10회 원예프로그램을 실시하였다. 유아 환경인식 검사 결과 하위항목 환경지식과 환경태도에서 모두 유의하게(P<0.01) 향상 되었다. 전체 점수 또한 유의하게(P<0.01) 향상되었다. 확장적 사고검사 결과 전체 점수가 유의한 향상을 나타냈으며 하위항목 독창성(P<0.05)과 정교성(P<0.01)에서 각각 유의한 의미가 나타났다. 이상의 결과로부터 원예활동 프로그램이 유아의 환경인식과 확장적 사고에 크게 영향을 끼친다고 판단되었다. 따라서 유아 교육 기관에서는 원예활동 프로그램을 도입한 환경교육이 필요하며 재활용품을 이용한 원예활동 프로그램이 확대되어 나가야 한다고 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate that horticultural activity program affects the young children’s attitude of environmental perceptions and divergent thinking. The subjects are children (4-5 years old) who attend in D and J elementary school kindergarten, Gyeongsan, Daegu. The experiment period was from May 11 to July 16, 2010 at every Thursday 10 am for 1 hour. The horticultural activity program was carried out through total 10 times. Through the test result of childhood environmental perceptions, both groups such as sub-item environmental perception and environmental attitude were improved (P<0.01), and overall score also improve (P<0.01). The results of divergent thinking tests shows that overall score significantly improved in sub-item originality (P<0.05), vocabulary (P<0.05), and elaboration (P<0.01), respectively. From these results, horticultural activity program has important effects to children's environmental awareness and expansive creativity. Therefore, childhood education with horticultural activity program should be introduced and horticultural activity program using the recycled materials could be expanded.
