This study is to look into the effect of literature-based activities on children's peer interaction around literature.
For the study, experiments were conducted over the period of nine weeks, with one class each from two kindergartens in Seoul as subjects. The experimental group was induced to literature-related activities based on the children's book, and their base-line response was video-taped twice and treatment three times out of seven. The control group was presented with only books, and their base-line response was video-taped twice and treatment once.
These taped materials have been analyzed in accordance with an observation system specifically designed for this study. The analysis was made in terms of the number of children who interacted.
The analysis has found that literature-based activities increase children's peer interaction around literature. It has also found that the interaction is chiefly peer collaboration, mostly between two children.
