미적체험과 창의적 표현을 위한 그림책 기반 유아 교육연극 프로그램 개발 - 문화예술교육을 중심으로- = Development of a Picture Book-Based Educational Drama Program for Young Children’s Aesthetic Experience and Creative Expression: Focusing on Arts and Culture Education

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aimed to develop a picturebook-based educational drama program designed to enhance young children’s aesthetic experiences and creative expression. Drawing on previous research and relevant theoretical foundations, the program’s goals, instructional methods, content, and evaluation procedures were systematically organized. In particular, Harvard Project Zero and the Arts PROPEL model were applied to construct a “perceiving-making-reflecting” learning framework, integrating sensory-based activities and drama techniques such as tableaux and hot seating. Through field trials and expert consultation, the program was refined and finalized into four sessions-“Opening the Mind,” “Opening the Senses,” “Meeting You Through Art,” and “Becoming an Artist Together”-with the activity titles Hello, Ddorongi, Go Go to Cloud Land!, A Wonderful Day for Us, and Ddorongi the Raindrop’s Journey. The findings indicate that integrating of picturebooks and educational drama offers meaningful opportunities for children to actively engage in aesthetic exploration and expand their expressive capabilities. This study suggests a pedagogical direction for developing early childhood arts and cultural education programs that foster children’s imaginative engagement, embodied participation, and creative meaning-making through story-based dramatic experiences.
