초록

본 연구는 숲 체험 놀이 활동이 유아 학부모의 기대감과 유아의 다중지능향상에 미치는 영향력을 살펴보기 위해 A지역 소재 어린이집 유아 학부모 152명을 대상으로 구조방정식 모델을 적용하여 실증 조사하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 유아의 숲체험 놀이 활동의 신체적, 사회적, 인지적 요인이 학부모가 유아의 안전 활동 기대감과 미세먼지 염려에 미치는 요인에 있어 신체적, 인지적 요인이 채택된 반면, 사회적 요인은 기각되었다. 둘째, 유아 숲체험 놀이 활동이 유아의 다중지능 향상에 미치는 영향에서 신체적, 사회적, 인지적 요인이 다중지능 향상의 하위 요인인 사회성에 영향을 미쳤다. 또한, 사회적, 인지적 자발성은 감수성과 창의성 향상에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 유아의 숲체험놀이 활동이 다중지능 향상에 미치는 영향에서 학부모의 기대감이 매개역할을 할 것이라는 가설 3은 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타나 기각되었다. 이와 같은 결과는 숲체험 활동의 신체적, 인지적 요인이 유아 학부모의 미세먼지 염려와 안전활동에 직접적인 영향을 받는 요인임을 확인하였으며, 그리고 사회성 요인은 유아의 어린이집 내 다양한 교육에서 충분히 습득될 수 있는 요인으로 숲체험 놀이 활동에 대한 학부모의 기대감과는 다소 거리가 있음을 시사한 것으로 평가할 수 있다.

This study examines the effects of children's play activities through forest experience on their parents' expectation and multiple intelligence improvement. To achieve this, an empirical survey was conducted by applying a structural equation model to 152 parents with children. As a result, first, physical and cognitive factors were adopted, and social factors were rejected in the factors that influence the physical, social, and cognitive factors of children's forest experience play activities on parents' expectation of children's safety activities and concern about fine dust. Second, their physical, social and cognitive factors affected their sociality among sub-factors of multiple intelligence improvement. Their social and cognitive spontaneities significantly affected their sensitivity and creativity improvements. Third, parents' expectation did not appear to play a significant mediating role in the effect of play activity through forest experience on multiple intelligence improvement. This study has confirmed that their physical and cognitive factors of play activities through forest experience are directly affected by their parents' concern about fine dust and expectation of their safe activities, and has suggested that their sociality can be thoroughly learned through various educational programs in daycare centers, which is somewhat far from their parents' expectation of their play activities through forest experience.
