Abstract

The purpose of this study is to confirm the use of smartphones by children aged 3 to 5 years old and to propose a plan for prevention of overdependence. To this end, the data of 909 people aged 3 to 5 years old were used in the study from the raw data of the '2019 Smartphone Overdependence Survey' conducted by the National Information Society Agency. The research results are as follows : Infants aged 3 to 5 were using their smartphone for an average of more than an hour a day, it was found that smartphones were used in the order of video services and games, listening to music, educational contents and search services. Parents were found to be tolerant of their children's smartphone usage time and dependence. In particular, despite the fact that most infants and toddlers use smartphones to watch videos and use game content, they are not concerned. Therefore, parental education content for the use of smartphones by infants and toddlers needs to include comprehensive content on media use.

본 연구는 유아교육기관에서 영유아의 스마트폰 과의존 예방교육을 위한 부모교육프로그램 개발을 위한 기초데이터 수집의 목적으로 하였다. 연구자료는 한국정보화진흥원에서 실시한 '2019 스마트폰 과의존 실태조사'의 원데이터 중 3~5세에 해당하는 909명의 자료가 활용되었다. 연구결과 3~5세 영유아는 하루 평균 1시간 이상 스마트폰을 사용하고 있었으며 주로 동영상 서비스와 게임, 음악듣기, 검색서비스 교육콘텐츠 등의 순으로 스마트폰을 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 부모들은 자녀의 스마트폰 이용시간과 의존도에 대해 허용적인 것으로 나타났다. 특히 대부분의 영유아가 스마트폰을 이용하여 동영상 시청과 게임 콘텐츠를 이용하고 있음에도 불구하고 우려하지 않고 있다는 점에서 영유아기 자녀의 스마트폰 이용에 대한 부모교육 콘텐츠는 미디어 사용에 대한 포괄적 내용이 포함될 필요가 있다.
