This study examines the social meaning of the CosPlay, the growth potential of CosPlay culture and its effect on the related industry through the perspectives and language of the youths who enjoy CosPlay, based on the ethnographic research. Also, this study presents a comparative description of Korea and Japan CosPlay culture by the ethnographic methodology whose purpose is to define relationship of cause and effect with phenomenon. For further step, this study plans to emphasize the need to link culture, clothes and related industry in order to create a cultural environment where diversity co-exists. CosPlay is the mania culture of Japan that emulated the Halloween party of the West and that developed the party into a unique form. In Korea, this practice was accepted for the first time among a handful of youths, starting from the 1990s, after which, it was introduced to the masses while holding CosPlay related events. While CosPlay is succeeded as an industry in Japan, CosPlay in Korea is considered childish play due to the Korean culture of considering cartoon as a childish and low class genre which is enjoyed by youths. CosPlay in Korea faces the following changes: aging of the members who comprised the CosPlay culture at the initial stage; population increase, centered on middle and high school students; interest of the government and the businesses that wish to produce economic wealth by organizing CosPlay events into events for youths; and changes in the environment that comprised the surrounding of the CosPlay culture. CosPlay is an honest play that demonstrates one's effort on the stage through performance. Moreover, most of the middle and high school students who comprise the CosPlay culture demonstrate similar characteristics as mania type of people when it came to the reason that they enjoy CosPlay. However, they did not consider CosPlay culture as an important aspect of their lives. Instead, most of them said that they participate to relieve stress. Thus, they have the potential to move onto another form of youth culture that may appear more attractive to them. To them, it is not the CosPlay culture that is important, but the fact that CosPlay provides a forum where they can freely engage in play.

본 연구는 사이버상의 놀이 공간으로서 청소년이 경험한 덕후 문화에 대한 본질적 의미를 탐색하기 위하여 수행되었다. 이를 위해 서울 잠실에 거주하고, 덕후에 해당되는 13~17세 청소년 18명을 대상으로, 반구조적인 질문형식을 사용한 심층면담을 통해 수집한 현상학적 질적 연구방법을 적용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 청소년의 덕후 문화는 스트레스나 사회정서적 욕구로 인해 시작되고, 특히, SNS활동을 중심으로 팬덤, 굿즈 상품 구매 행위의 사이버상에서 놀이 공간으로 활용되고 있었다. 이것은, 덕후로서의 자기 인식과 자아정체성 형성에도 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 무엇보다, 입시 중암감으로 인한 놀이시간의 부족과 사회적으로 제공되는 놀이공간의 부족은 청소년들에게 사이버 공간을 또 다른 놀이공간으로 만들도록 하고 있다.

본 연구는 유아·놀이 중심의 2019 개정 누리과정을 기반으로 만 5세 유아들이 그림책을 감상하는 과정에서 상상한 놀이적 아이디어를 T로봇(Turtle Robot)으로 실현하는 놀이창안의 경험과 그 의미를 살펴보는데 목적이 있다. 수집된 놀이사례는 각 그림책을 중심으로 놀이흐름도로 정리하여 놀이양상을 분석하였으며. 놀이 의미 읽기과정을 통한 놀이 범주화로 그 의미를 발견하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 그림책 속의 다양한 놀이적 상상이 유아용 로봇으로부터 실현되는 놀이경험인 <그림책 연계 유아 로봇놀이>를 지원함으로써 유아주도의 창의적인 놀이창안의 경험을 심층적으로 살펴보는 데 의의가 있으며, 나아가 유아 주체의 놀이중심 SW교육 방향모색에 근거를 제공하는데 가치가 있다.
