Abstract

Objective: This study examines the effects of children's art activities through forest experience in relation with Nuri curriculum on environmental sensitivity. Method: A survey was administered to an experimental group of 20 children as well as a control group of 20 children for statistical analysis. after 16-class art activities through forest experience were performed to children aged 4 at a daycare center for 50 days. Result: Children's art activities through forest experience in relation with Nuri curriculum had a positive effect on their environmental sensitivity. In particular, their art activities had a positive effect on their self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy and motivation in the experimental group, supporting the educational effects and benefits of developmental children's art activities through forest experience in relation with Nuri curriculum. In other words, art activities through forest experience are useful in terms of providing children with creative expression activities in art by leading to observation and exploration, as well as educational experiences that have positive attitudes toward the environment. Conclusion: As children's art activities through forest experience have a positive effect on their environmental sensitivity, more useful information on teaching-learning methods will be able to be provided to early childhood teachers in the field. Consequently, children's art activities through forest experience need to be actively introduced in the field of early childhood education as an alternative for learning nature and improving environment-friendly emotional intelligence.

연구목적: 본 연구는 누리 연계 유아의 숲 체험 미술 활동이 환경 감수성에 미치는 영향력을 밝히는 데 목적을 갖고 실증조사 하였다. 연구방법: 어린이집 만 4세 유아 대상 숲체험 미술활동을 16차시 50일간 수행후 실험집단 20명과 통제집단 20명을 대상으로 설문지에 의한 평가 조사후 통계분석 방법을 통해 분석하였다. 연구결과: 유아들의 숲 체험 미술 활동이 환경 감수성에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 특히 실험집단에서의 자기인지, 자기조절, 감정이입, 동기부여에 긍정적인 결과를 나타내 발달기 유아들의 누리 과정 연계 숲 체험 미술 활동 교육의 교육적 효과와 유용성을 뒷받침해 준 것으로 평가할 수 있다. 이는 숲 체험 미술 활동이 관찰과 탐색을 이끌어내 유아들에게 미술에 대한 흥미를 발현하는 창의적인 표현활동과 동시 환경에 대한 긍정적인 태도와 감성적 사고를 갖게 하는 교육적 경험을 제공한다는 측면에서 유용성을 갖는다. 연구결론: 이상의 결과를 볼 때, 유아들의 숲 체험 미술 활동이 유아의 환경감수성에 긍정적인 효과를 미친다는 사실과 함께 현장의 유아교사들에게 유아 교수학습방법에 보다 유용한 정보를 제공해 줄 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 유아의 숲 체험 미술 활동은 자연을 익히고 환경 친화적인 감성 지능의 증진을 위한 하나의 대안으로 유아 교육 현장에 적극 도입할 필요가 있다.
