발현적 교육에 기반한 숲 체험활동이 유아의 놀이몰입과 용기, 리더십에 미치는 영향

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of forest experience activities based on children's emergent education on children's play flow, courage, and leadership. The main results are presented as follows. First, the effect of forest experience activities based on emergent education of young children on play flow was examined. In covariate analysis, it was found that there were significant differences between the experimental group and the comparison group in play flow (problem-solving process, play concentration, loss of self-consciousness, and feeling that time was changed). Therefore, it can be evaluated that children's forest experience activities have a positive effect on improving play flow. Second, the effect of forest experience activities based on emergent education of young children on courage was examined. In covariate analysis, it was found that there were significant differences in courage (physical courage, social courage, cognitive courage, and psychological courage) between the experimental group and the control group. Therefore, it can be evaluated that children's forest experience activities have a positive effect on forming courage. Third, the effect of forest experience activities based on emergent education of young children on leadership was examined. In covariate analysis, it was found that there were significant differences in leadership (initiative, sociability, sensitivity, and flow) between the experimental group and the comparison group. Therefore, it can be evaluated that children's forest experience activities have a positive effect on enhancing leadership. In summary, it can be evaluated that children's forest experience activities increase the possibility of cultivating play flow, courage, and leadership through the process of communing with various creatures of the forest while playing freely in nature, not in the existing indoor center.
