The purpose of this study is to figure out the effects of multimedia fairy tale and narrative fairy tale lectures on children's language expression ability and drawing representation ability. To achieve this, this study was conducted from March to April, 2011 with 50 five-year-old children(25 children in the experimental group and 25 children in the comparative group) in K and S kindergartens at D metropolitan city. The results were as follows. First, the score of children's language expression ability was higher in the multimedia fairy tale lecture group than in the narrative fairy-tale lecture group. Second, the score of children's drawing representation ability was higher in the multimedia fairy tale lecture group than in the narrative fairy-tale lecture group. As for findings stated above, educational activities with multimedia were important in early childhood education. Consequently, children can better understand stories through multimedia fairy tales and various language activities, and improve their language expression ability and drawing representation ability through the process of exploring and drawing heroes in fairy tales. However, they have more need of educational activities, which are complementary to the merit of narrative fairy tale, than educational activities for only multimedia fairy tale lecture.

The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of 'activity program for effective storytelling' on the empathic ability and language teaching efficacy of a story grandmother. The subjects were 51 beautiful story grandmothers in Gangwon, Gyeongsangdo and Seoul. The research tools used the emotional empathy scale of Jeon(2003), and language teaching efficacy scale of Kim and Lee(2011). As for the research procedure, from March 06 to July 27, 2017, an 'activity program for effective storytelling' was conducted. For data analysis, a t-test of the corresponding sample was conducted to find the difference between the pre- and post-scores of the two variables. As a result of the study, first, the cognitive empathy ability between the story grandmother and the young children after applying the 'activity program for effective storytelling' was higher than that of the dictionary. Second, the language teaching efficacy between the story grandmother and the young children after applying the 'activity program for effective storytelling' was higher than that of the dictionary. Therefore, the 'activity program for effective storytelling' suggests that there is a positive effect on improving the cognitive empathic ability and language teaching efficacy of the story grandmothers.

인간이 생각하고 지식이 습득되어지는 방법에 대한 이해는 인지과학자들에게 항상 중요 관심사이다. 학교교육이 전개된 후의 학생들을 대상으로 한 인지과정을 탐구하는 것은 쉽지 않다. 본 논문에 유아기 유아들을 대상으로 과학적인 표상능력을 이용하여 유아의 인지구조를 고찰하였다. 5세 유아 120명을 대상으로 2년간 주변에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 곤충류를 관찰할 수 있도록 한 후, 그림 그리기와 언어 표현 방법을 이용하여 유아들의 인지과정이 탐구되었다. 유아들은 1차, 2차 표상과정을 통해 기존에 갖고있던 사물에 대한 개념에 분명한 변화를 보였다. 본 연구결과는 유아들의 과학지식 형성에 대한 인지과정을 기술하며, 과학적 지식으로 확장될 수 있는 효율적인 지도 방법을 제공한다.

This study examined the relation between mother-child verbal interaction strategies and children's narrative competence. Forty-eight 4-year-old middle class children(25 girls and 23 boys) and their mothers were observed in their homes. All the children were asked to produce a new story. Mothers used more descriptive statements and questions, more inferential questions and more evaluative questions than children. Children gave more answers and used more negative feedback than mothers. Mother's use of high-mental demanded question and positive feedback strategies were positively correlated with children's level of narrative structure. Mothers' use of inferential and evaluative questions were positively correlated with narrative length. Children's use of high-mental demanded statements and positive feedback strategies were positively correlated with their level of narrative structure and their use of descriptive and high-mental demanded strategies were positively correlated with narrative length.

This study examined the effects of Children's Social Development and Picture Representation Ability on Wordless Picture Books Activities. The study subjects were 30 children aged 3 years in K kindergarten: 15 in the experimental group and 15 in the comparative group. The experimental group was exposed to Wordless Picture Books Activities for 8 weeks. Image representation ability and social development test were conducted in both groups before and after the study. The after Wordless Picture Books Activities were found to be effective in linking various colors, detailed descriptions, harmonious spatial representations, various shapes, subject-related representations, uniqueness of representations, completeness of figure representations, and language representations. These study results are expected to validate the educational value of the wordless picture books meaningfully as teaching-learning materials in the field of early childhood education.

Children develop their language skill rapidly between age 3 and 5. To meet the child's language development through a variety of experiences, it is necessary to develop age-appropriate contents. So it needs to develop various contents using speech interface for children, but there is no speech database of korean children. In this paper, we develop speech database of 3 to 5 years old children in korean. For collecting accurate children's speech, child education experts examine in the speech database development process. The words for database are selected from MCDI-K in two stage and children speak a word three times. Such collected speech are tokenized by child and word and stored in database. This speech database will be transferred through web and, hopefully, be the foundation of development of children-oriented contents.

The purpose of this study was to examine the keywords of studies related to young children's play in the selected registered and candidate academic journals and the network of the keywords by conducting a semantic network analysis. The selected journals were published over the past decade in diverse fields of study that included social sciences and life sciences such as education and early childhood education. The findings of the study were as follows: First, there was a great increase in the studies related to early childhood play over the last five years in comparison with the first term(2009-2013). As a result of analyzing how many studies were included in the journals by field, the largest numbers of the studies were published in the field of education, followed by early childhood education, and life sciences. Second, when the network of the keywords was analyzed, the major keywords in the first term were playfulness, role play, young children, creativity, play, and peer play interaction. In the second term(2014-2018), playfulness was also the most frequently exhibited keyword, followed by young children, play, and peer play behavior. Keywords such as teacher-child interaction, language skills, happiness, cognitive ability, early childhood education newly appeared.
