Abstract

This study examines the effects of reading and story sharing through fairy tales on young children's character development in their role play using natural materials. To achieve this, 40 5-year-old children at early childhood educational institutes in Daejeon were tested 16 times for 8 weeks. The results were as follows. First, their role plays using natural objects through reading and talking had a positive effect on their personality cultivation. Second, there was no experimental difference in their prudence and filial piety of basic behavioral items, but their cleanliness and patience were proven effective in the experiment. Third, all their justice, conscience and service indicating their sociality-related friendship, kindness, gentleness and morality were proven effective in the experiment, which their role plays using natural objects through reading and story sharing through fairy tales had an educational effect on improving their sociality and morality through peer interaction. This suggests that their mind to improve social virtues with an exchange of emotions, particularly, treat natural role play in a friendly way, their public promises to cherish life, and their ethical virtues to obey the rules in the process of consideration, appreciation, understanding and help through mutual communication and cooperation in forest experience activities are very effective from an educational perspective.

본 연구는 자연물 역할놀이에서의 인성동화를 활용한 독서와 이야기 나누기가 유아의 인성함양에 미치는 영향을 밝히는데 목적을 갖고 대전지역 소재 유아교육기관 내 만 5세 유아 40명을 대상으로 8주 총 16차 실험 연구 하였다. 그 결과를 보면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 숲 체험 활동을 통한 자연물 역할놀이가 유아의 인성함양에 긍정적인 효과가 있음을 실증해 주었다. 둘째, 기본행동 항목 중 신중과 효도에는 실험에 따른 차이가 나타나지 않았지만 유아의 청결과 끈기에 있어 실험효과가 검증되었다. 셋째, 사회성과 관련한 우정, 친절, 상냥함과 도덕성을 나타내는 정의 봉사 양심 모두 실험효과가 유효한 것으로 확인되어 유아의 독서와 이야기 나누기를 통한 자연물 역할놀이가 또래 간의 상호작용을 통한 사회성과 도덕성을 높여주는 교육적 효과를 입증해 준 것으로 평가할 수 있다. 이는 자연물 역할놀이에서 상호 간의 소통과 협력을 통해 서로 배려하고 고마움을 표현하며 이해하고 도움을 주는 과정과 정서를 주고받으면서 사회적 덕목을 증진시키고 특히 사이좋게 서로 자연을 대하는 마음과 생명을 소중히 여기려는 공공적 약속과 규칙을 지키는 윤리적 덕목이 교육적 관점에서 매우 큰 효과가 있음을 시사한 것으로 평가할 수 있다.
