Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of children's robot-based play on sequential thinking through appreciation of picture books. For this purpose, 15 children aged 5 years old in each kindergarten located in Seoul were selected and J kindergarten (experimental group) supported <Picture book appreciation robot play> and C kindergarten (comparison group) supported <Picture book appreciation free play>. In order to examine the difference in play experience between the two groups, the score data before and after play support was collected using the sequential thinking test tool, and the collected data were analyzed using SPSS 28.0 program to perform ANCOVA (Covariance Analysis). As a result, the experimental group that experienced robot-based play through picture book appreciation showed significant improvement in the total score of sequential thinking and the sub-areas of dynamics, behavior, and intention compared to the control group.The results of this study are valuable as a play study to discover the value of robots as a creative play medium led by young children and to promote sequential thinking ability, which is emphasized as the capacity of future society.

본 연구는 그림책 감상을 통한 유아의 로봇 활용 놀이가 순서적 사고에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 한다. 이를 위해 서울시에 위치한 각 유치원 만 5세 15명의 유아를 대상으로 J유치원(실험집단)은 '그림책 감상 로봇 활용 놀이'를 지원하였으며, C유치원(비교집단)은 '그림책 감상 자유놀이'를 지원하였다. 두 집단의 놀이 경험의 차이를 알아보기 위해 순서적 사고 검사도구를 활용하여 놀이지원 전과 후에 대한 점수자료를 수집하였으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS 28.0프로그램을 활용하여 사전점수를 공변인으로 한 사후점수를 ANCOVA(공분산분석)를 실시하였다. 그 결과, 그림책 감상을 통한 로봇 활용 놀이를 경험한 실험집단은 비교집단에 비해 순서적 사고의 총점과 하위 영역인 역학, 행동, 의도에서 모두 유의미하게 향상된 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 유아 주도의 창의적인 놀이매체로서 로봇의 가치를 발견하고, 미래사회의 역량으로 그 중요성이 강조되고 있는 순서적 사고 역량을 증진할 수 있도록 지원하는 놀이연구로서 가치가 있다.
