초록
본 연구는 숲놀이 활동이 유아의 감정어휘 변화에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 실시하였다. G시에 소재한 환경연수에 방문한 만 4~5세 유아 498명을 대상으로 1시간 동안 숲놀이 활동을 하였다. 그 결과 긍정어휘는 숲놀이 전 0.95±0.78개서 숲놀이 후 1.15±1.21개로 유의하게 향상되었고(p=.003), 부정어휘는 1.27±1.58개에서 0.41±1.10개로 유의하게 감소하였다(p=.000). 남자유아의 긍정어휘는 숲놀이 전 0.96±0.82개서 숲놀이후 1.36±1.24로 유의하게 증가하였고(p=.000), 부정어휘는 숲놀이 전1.42±1.74개서 숲놀이 후0.55±1.30개로 유의하게 감소하였다(p=.000). 여자유아의 긍정어휘는 1.12±1.37개에서 0.26±0.26개로 유의하게 감소하였으나(p=.000), 긍정어휘 증가는 유의성이 나타나지 않았다(p=.851). 만4세 유아의 긍정어휘는 숲놀이 전 후에 유의한 차이가 없었고(p=.471), 부정어휘는 숲놀이 전 1.04±1.42개서 숲놀이 후 0.41±1.16개로 유의하게 감소하였다(p=.000). 만 5세 유아의 긍정어휘는 숲놀이 전 0.96±0.85개서 숲놀이 후 1.23±1.21개로 유의하게 증가하였고(p=.001), 부정어휘의 경우 1.41±1.65개에서 0.41±1.16개로 유의하게 감소하였다(p=.000). 본 연구의 결과 숲속에서 다양한 자연물을 이용한 놀이 활동은 자연과 직접적인 접촉으로 정서적인 해방감, 긴장감 완화, 스트레스 감소에 도움을 주어 부정어휘 감소에 영향을 미쳤을 것으로 판단된다.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of forest play activities on children's emotional vocabulary change. Forest play activities were conducted for 498 children aged 4 to 5 years old who visited the environmental training in G city for forest play activity for 1 hour. As a result, positive vocabulary was significantly improved from 0.95±0.78 before forest play to 1.15±1.21 after forest play(p=.003) and negative vocabulary was significantly decreased from 1.27±1.58 to 0.41±1.10(p=.000). In the case of male children, positive vocabulary was increased significantly from 0.96±0.82 to 1.36±1.24(p=.000), in the case of negative vocabulary, it decreased significantly from 1.42±1.74 to 0.55±1.30(p=.000). In the case of female children, negative vocabulary was significantly decreased from 1.12±1.37 to 0.26±0.26(p=.000), but the positive vocabulary increase was not significant(p=.851). As a result of age, for a 4-year-old children, positive vocabulary did not show significant difference between before and after forest play(p=.471), and negative vocabulary was significantly increased from 1.04 ± 1.42 before forest play to 0.41±1.16 after forest play(p=.000). For a 5-year-old children, positive vocabulary was increased significantly from 0.96±0.85 to 1.23±1.21(p=.001) and negative vocabulary was decreased significantly from 1.41±1.65 to 0.41±1.06(p=.000). As a result of this study, it was found that play activities using various natural objects in the forest were directly related to nature, resulting in positive vocabulary increase and negative vocabulary decrease.
