Abstract

The study aimed to identify the differences in language development according to childcare type and child age. Specifically, the study aimed to confirm the difference in the language development between children whose language interactions with their parents are made normally and children whose language interactions with their parents are blocked. With this aim, the study conducted a language development test aimed at a total of 248 children consisting of 146 children raised by their parents and 102 children raised by their grandparents from among children at the age of 3 and of 4. The results obtained from the study include the following. First, the receptive language of children raised by their parents was found to be higher than that of children raised by their grandparents. Second, the expressive language of children raised by their parents was discovered to be higher than the expressive language of children raised by their grandparents. Third, the language development of children raised by their parents was shown to be higher than that of children raised by their grandparents.

본 연구는 부모양육과 조부모 양육에서 연령에 따른 언어발달의 차이를 구체적으로 밝혀보기 위하여 수행하였다. 특히 부모와의 언어적 상호 작용이 정상적으로 이루어지는 아동과 부모와의 언어적 상호작용이 차단되어 있는 아동의 언어발달의 차이를 확인하기 위하여 수행하였다. 이러한 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위하여, 3세 아동과 4세 아동 중에서 부모양육아동 146명과 조부모양육 아동 102명 등 총 248명을 대상으로 언어발달 검사를 실시하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과는 첫째, 부모양육 아동의 수용언어가 조부모 양육 아동의 수용언어보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 부모양육 아동의 수용언어가 조부모양육 아동의 표현언어보다 높은 것으로 나타났다.
