협력적 동작표현활동이 유아의 친사회적 기술에 미치는 효과 = The Effect of Collaborative Movement Expression On Young Childrens Prosocial Skills

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This research examines whether young children`s collaborative activity in movement expression is more effective in developing their prosocial skills than is individual movement expression. The subjects of this study are five year old children. The experimental group engaged in collaborative movement expression activities 12 times during a six week period. The same number of individual movement expressive activities were used during that period with a control group. Dependence, which is regarded as prosocial skill, consists an ability to control ones emotions, interpersonal relational competence and school adaptive competence. This research was analysed by t-test to obtain results of pre-test and post-test of the experimental group and control group. The analysis found collaborative activity was more effective than individual activity in terms of developing the prosocial skills of young children. It was also significantly effective in developing individual emotional control ability and interpersonal relational competence. However, there was no statistical difference in school adaptive competence between collaborative and individual expressive movement. While this research used discussion and self-expression as strategies for developing prosocial skills, we suggest that further research be conducted in collaborative activities in order to employ varied teaching strategies.
