초록

목적 : 본 연구는 집단 작업 활동 프로그램이 지역아동센터 아동들의 시지각 및 운동기능을 향상시킬 수 있는지 알아보았다. 연구방법 : 지역아동센터를 이용하는 만 6~9세 학령기 아동 5명을 대상으로 집단 작업 활동 프로그램을 실시하였다. 프로그램은 놀이를 기반으로 시지각 및 운동기능을 촉진할 수 있는 요소를 포함하였고, 주 1회(90분) 총 9회기로 진행되었다. 아동의 시지각 및 운동기능에 대한 프로그램 효과를 알아보기 위하여 프로그램 전과 후에 Motor Free Visual Perception Test-Third Edition(MVPT-3)와 Bruiniks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency 2nd Edition(BOT-2) 평가를 실시하여 두 시점의 평가 결과를 비교하였다. 결과 : 집단 작업 활동 프로그램은 지역아동센터 아동의 시지각 및 운동기능을 향상시키는 효과가 있었다. 결론 : 본 연구는 지역아동센터 아동들의 시지각 및 운동기능의 발달 촉진에 있어서 집단 작업 활동 프로그램의 효과를 보여주었다. 이러한 경험적 증거는 발달을 촉진하는 작업 활동이 지역사회에 적용되고 확대될 수 있는 근거를 제시한다.

Objective : The current study investigated the effectiveness of group occupational activity program in increasing visual-perception and motor function of children in Community Children Center. Methods : Five children aged between 6-9 years in a community children center participated in the group occupational activity program. The program was designed to facilitate children's visual-perception and motor function based on play occupations. We examined performances of MVPT-3 and BOT-2 before and after the program. Results : Children who participated in the group program showed significant increases in visual perception and motor function. Conclusion : The study revealed the effectiveness of group occupational activity program in promoting visual perception and motor function of children in a community children center, which suggests the possibility of application of occupational activity toward low-income children in the community.
