This study aims to examine the effects of mathematical activity based on cooperative learning model of Learning Together on the measuring ability of the young children s
Study subjects were established in the following procedure.
Out of 50 5 year-old young children s enrolled at B kindergarten located at Chungnam, 25 young children s were allocated into the experimental group and 25 young children s into the control group. Examination tool used for this study was ‘Measuring Ability Test Tool’ of Hee Young Jeon (2001). Preliminary test was carried out with 25 young children s in experimental group and 25 young children s in control group.
To examine the measuring ability of control group who received planned education activities and that of experimental group who received mathematical activities based on the cooperative learning model of Learning Together, I carried out t-test and χ2 test for comparison of preliminary test and post-test between groups, and utilized SAS 9.2 program for this.
Conclusion of this study is as follows.
First, mathematical ability based on cooperative learning model of Learning Together was found to have positive effects on the ability of young children to measure using non-standard unit among measuring skill of young children s
Second, mathematical ability based on cooperative learning model of Learning Together was found not to influence the ability to directly compare and to select the non-standard unit among measuring skill of young children s
In light of this, mathematical ability based on cooperative learning model of Learning Together was found to have positive effects on ‘ability to measure using non-standard unit’ among measuring ability of young children s Since this ability requires thoughts more difficult than the ability to directly compare and to select non-standard unit, mathematical activity based on cooperative learning model of Learning Together can be regarded to have positive effects on measuring ability of young children s.
