6세 유아의 전자미디어 사용에 영향을 미치는 변인 탐색: 문화자본이론을 중심으로

Abstract

This study aimed to examine how 6-year-olds utilize electronics and explore how various factors influence them. The study was conducted using data from the 7th wave of Panel Study on Korean Children. The main results were as follows; first, 6-year-old children used electronic media mostly for play purposes than educational purposes. Second, the children who lived in the metropolitan area and who were more exposed to visiting museums and other educational sites had better chances of utilizing electronic media for educational purposes whereas children from families with household income lower than average, lower parents’ education and who were least exposed to art galleries and libraries were more likely to use electronic media for play purposes. The results suggest that the economic and cultural capital of a family influences the way children use electronic media and should be considered in developing programs concerning electronic media usage for young children.
