Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Mathematical Activities using 4D-frame on 5-year-old children's mathematical ability and attitude towards Mathematics. For the study, E, K, and Y preschools located in S city were selected: 28 children from Y preschool as the experimental group(I: n=14, II: n=14) and 28 children from E and K preschool as the comparative group(III: n=14, IV: n=14). During the 8 weeks, the experimental group performed Mathematical Activities using 4D-frame and in the comparison group, Nuri-Curriculum's mathematical activities and mathematics-science integration programs were conducted. The analysis of covariance(ANCOVA) was conducted with the pre-test scores of the experimental group(I, II) and the comparison group(III, IV) as covariance. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the experimental and comparative groups. Mathematical Activities for Young Children using 4D-frame enhanced 5-year-old children's mathematical ability and attitude towards Mathematics. The results of this study provide an understanding of the efficiency of early childhood mathematical activities using the 4D-frame in early childhood education and provide basic data for the improvement of mathematical ability and attitude of young children and the applicable educational methods at the field.

본 연구는 4D프레임 교구를 활용한 유아수학활동이 만 5세 유아의 수학적 능력과 태도에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해 S시에 위치한 E, K, Y유치원의 만 5세 유아 56명을 실험집단(I: n=14, II: n=14)과 비교집단(III, n=14, IV, n=14)으로 나눈 후 8주 동안 실험집단에서 4D프레임 교구를 활용한 유아수학활동을 실시하였고 비교집단은 각각 누리과정에서 제시하는 수학활동과 수 과학 통합프로그램을 실시하였다. 실험집단(I, II)과 비교집단(III, IV)의 사전검사 점수를 공변인으로 하여 공변량분석(ANCOVA)을 실시한 결과, 4D프레임 교구를 활용한 유아수학활동이 실험집단과 비교집단 간 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났고 이는 4D프레임 교구를 활용한 유아수학활동이 유아의 수학적 능력과 수학적 태도의 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 준 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 본 연구를 통해 유아교육 현장에서 4D프레임 교구를 활용한 유아수학활동의 효율성을 이해함으로써 유아들의 수학적 능력 및 태도의 향상을 위한 현장 적용 가능한 교육적 방안을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다.
