Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effects of young children's playfulness between the children's peer competence and their mothers' play beliefs. For this study, 160 mothers and 160 children aged 4-5 years who were in kindergarten and daycare centers in Area J were selected. The collected data were analyzed based on correlation and mediation using SPSS Statistics. The research results are as follows. First, as a result of analyzing the relationship between the young children's peer competence and playfulness and their mothers' play beliefs, there was a statistically significant positive correlation between a mother's play-support beliefs and their children's peer competence and playfulness. On the other hand, the relationship between a mother's learning-support beliefs and her child's peer competence and playfulness was not significant. There was a significant positive correlation between playfulness and peer competence in the young children. Second, as a result of verifying the mediating effect of the children's playfulness in the relationship between their mothers' play-support belief and the children's peer competence, we found that playfulness has a partial mediating role.

본 연구의 목적은 어머니의 놀이신념과 유아의 또래 유능성의 관계에서 유아 놀이성의 매개효과를 알아보는 것이다. 연구대상으로 J지역에 소재한 유아교육기관의 만 4~5세 유아 160명과 그 어머니 160명을 선정하였고, 어머니의 놀이신념과 유아의 놀이성, 또래 유능성에 관한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 통계 프로그램을 사용하여 상관분석과 매개분석을 실시하였다. 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 어머니의 놀이신념과 유아의 놀이성, 또래 유능성 간의 관계를 분석한 결과, 어머니 놀이신념의 하위요인 중 '놀이지지' 신념과 유아의 놀이성, 또래 유능성 간의 유의한 정적 상관이 나타났다. 반면, 어머니 놀이신념의 하위요인 중 '학습중심' 신념과 유아의 놀이성, 또래 유능성 간의 관계는 유의하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 유아의 놀이성과 또래 유능성 간의 관계에서는 유의한 정적 상관이 나타났다. 둘째, 어머니의 '놀이지지' 신념과 유아의 또래 유능성의 관계에서 유아 놀이성의 매개효과를 검증한 결과, 놀이성이 부분 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 연구의 결과를 통해 어머니의 '놀이지지' 신념이 유아의 놀이성을 높이고 이로 인해 유아의 또래 유능성에 정적인 영향력을 증가시킴을 확인할 수 있었다. 개정 누리과정의 실효성을 위하여 부모와 지역사회의 협조를 강조하고 있는 바, 본 논문에서는 어머니의 놀이에 대한 신념이 유아의 놀이성 및 또래유능성에 영향을 미치고 있음을 검증하였다는 측면에서 의미가 있다. 추후 부모를 대상으로 한 놀이에 대한 인식전환 및 놀이참여 방법 등 놀이관련 교육이 활성화 되어야 할 것이다.
