Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a STEAM-based science education program for children and to verify its effectiveness. An S-STEAM-based science education program for young children was developed through careful analysis of prior research on science education for young children and S-STEAM. The participants were 29 four-year-old children from daycare centers located in Seoul (an experimental group of 14 and comparative group of 15). The S-STEAM program was applied to the experimental group, while the control group went through a general science education course provided by the government. TTCT of Creative Thinking (TTCT: Figures A and B) was used as a research tool, and a multiple intelligence test tool was applied to teachers of the groups. Afterwards, analysis of covariance was implemented to find the S-STEAM program's effects. First, the results showed positive effects on overall creativity, as well as in fluency, originality, abstractness, elaboration, and openness components of creativity. Second, the results showed positive effects on overall multiple intelligences and its components of linguistic, musical, spatial, logical/mathematical, physical exercise, interpersonal, and naturalist intelligence.

본 연구는 S-STEAM 프로그램을 개발하고, 본 프로그램이 유아의 창의성 및 다중지능에 미치는 영향을 검증하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 유아과학교육과 융합인재교육에 대한 문헌과 선행연구 분석을 토대로 S-STEAM 프로그램을 개발하였다. 효과 검증을 위해 S시에 소재한 어린이집 만 4세 유아 29명(실험집단 14명, 비교집단 15명)을 대상으로 실험집단에게 S-STEAM 프로그램을 비교집단에게 누리과정에 기초한 과학활동을 실시하였다. 연구도구는 창의성 측정도구 TTCT(도형A, B형)를 실시하였고, 교사에게 교사평가 유아 다중지능 검사도구를 실시하였다. 자료 분석은 본 프로그램이 창의성 및 다중지능에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 공분산분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 본 S-STEAM 프로그램은 전체 창의성과 창의성 하위요인 유창성, 독창성, 추상성, 정교성 및 개방성 모두에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 본 S-STEAM 프로그램은 전체 다중지능과 다중지능 하위영역 중 개인이해지능을 제외한 언어, 음악, 공간, 논리 수학, 신체 운동, 대인관계, 자연친화 지능에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
