Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of CoRT thinking skills training on young children's creativity and nature-friendly attitude. The subject of this study were 50 young children who attended kindergartens in Busan. The experimental group participated in CoRT thinking skills training while the comparison group participated in the typical activities according to the monthly plan of the kindergarten curriculum. The instrument used to evaluate the creativity and nature-friendly attitude of the young children were TTCT and nature-friendly attitude test. Data were analyzed by ANCOVA. Result showed that there were significant differences between the experimental group and the comparison group in post-test scores. The results suggested that the CoRT thinking skills training would be more effective to develop young children's creativity and nature-friendly attitude than typical activities according to the monthly plan of the kindergarten curriculum.
