Sternberg의 성공지능 이론과 연계한 유아수학교육 프로그램 효과 검증

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of early childhood mathematics education program in connection with Sternberg's theory of successful intelligence on the mathematical ability, creativity, and creative problem-solving ability of young children. Methods Seventy six 5-year-old children were selected as research subjects at two kindergartens located in Seoul. Differences between the groups were investigated by dividing them into experimental and control groups. The difference between the groups was verified after applying the program of early childhood mathematics education linked to the Sternberg successful intelligence theory to the experimental group over 10 weeks. Results To verify the effectiveness of the program, t-verification and multivariate analysis (MANOVA) were performed using the SPSS 24.0 program. There were differences in the mathematical ability, creativity, and creative problem-solving ability of young children between the experimental and control groups. Conclusions The early childhood math education program based on the theory of successful intelligence is suitable for 5-year-old children and has a positive effect on mathematical ability, creativity, and creative problem-solving ability. The experimental group young children. who participated in the program improved their mathematical ability and their sub-areas, algebra, number and computation, geometry, and measurement compared to the control group young children. In addition, creativity was significantly improved, and sub-areas of fluency, originality, abstraction of titles, and resistance to early closure were improved. Creative problem-solving skills and plans for understanding problems, generating ideas, and acting, which are sub-factors have all improved.
