Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate parental concern about infant's smartphone usage experience. The research participants were 6 parents with infants lived in Seoul and Gyeonggi province. The data were collected by focus group interviews. The results of this study revealed that parent's smartphone usage experience could be classified as "Everyday life" and "Supporting tool of parenting". And parental concern could be classified as "Uncertain educational expectation", "Developmental problems", and "Addiction propensity". This study could contribute to understanding the problems of smartphone usage of infants, and providing basic materials for parent education about correct guidance and addiction prevention of digital devices including smartphone.

본 연구는 영아기 자녀를 둔 부모들을 대상으로 영아기 자녀의 스마트폰 사용 경험에 대한 부모의 걱정을 파악하는 데 있다. 연구대상은 서울 경기 지역에 있는 영아기 자녀를 둔 부모 6명으로 포커스그룹 인터뷰를 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 연구결과, [부모의 스마트폰 사용경험]에 관한 주제군에서는 <일상 생활화>, <육아 보조역할>로, [부모의 걱정]에 관한 주제군에서는 <막연한 교육적 기대 >, <발달과정상의 문제>, <중독 성향>으로 주제를 분류할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 향후 영아기 자녀의 스마트폰 사용의 문제점을 파악하고, 스마트폰을 포함한 디지털 기기 사용의 올바른 지도방법에 대한 부모교육 기초자료를 제공하는데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
