Abstract

본 연구는 동요를 동기화한 과학활동이 유아의 과학관련태도 및 과학과정기술이해에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구대상은 만 5세 유아 40명을 실험집단 20명과 통제집단 20명으로 나누었다. 연구도구는 안현정(2011)의 과학관련태도 검사도구와 Samarapungavan 외(2009)가 유아용으로 개발한 과학과정기술이해 측정 문항을 번안하여 사용하였다. 실험집단에는 7주 동안 매주 3회기씩, 총 21회 동요를 동기화한 과학활동을 실시하였다. 1회기 1차시에서는 동요를 배우고 과학적 질문 찾기를 하며 2차시에서는 과학적 탐구 활동을 하였고, 3차시에서는 과학활동을 활용한 동요개사 활동을 하였다. 통제집단은 같은 기간 동요배우기, 과학활동, 음률활동을 독립된 활동으로 실시하였다. 사전 사후검사자료는 SPSS 프로그램을 이용하여 t-검증을 하였다. 연구결과는 동요를 동기화한 과학활동이 유아의 과학관련태도 및 과학과정기술이해를 향상시키는데 더 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. The present study examined the effects of science activities motivated through children's songs on young children's science-related attitudes, and understanding of science processing. skills. The subjects of the present study were 40 children aged five, among them 20 children being assigned into an experimental group, and 20 children into a control group. An Hyun-Jeong's(2011). 'The Test of Science-Related Attitudes' and science process skills measurement questions from 'The Science Learning Assessment' by Samarapungavan, Mantzicopoulos, Patrick, and French (2009) were used after adapting them as research tools. The experimental group performed science activities motivated through children's songs 21 times, 3 times a week for 7 weeks; learning children's songs and asking science questions at the first stage, performing science activities at the second stage, and adapting children's songs based on the findings of science activities. The control group performed the learning of children's songs, science activities, and rhythmic activities in the same period. The pre- and post-test data were analyzed as at-test using SPSS program. The study results indicated that science activities motivated through children's songs were effective in improving young children's science-related attitudes and their understanding of science process skills.
