Objective: This study was aimed to analyze the effects of activities using picture books for young children's language development and to identify factors that caused differences in these effects by applying meta-analysis. Methods: We conducted a homogeneity test of effect sizes on 21 Korean studies published in academic journals from 1990 to February 2018 and calculated the effect size by applying a random effect model. Additionally, we conducted a meta-ANOVA to investigate whether the effect sizes differed by types of language development, picture book activities, and environmental variables-such as place, time, and agent. Results: The results indicated that the effect sizes of the 21 studies were heterogeneous and the total effect size was 0.90, which was significantly large according to Cohen's standard. The effect sizes also varied by types of language development, picture book activities, and environmental variables. Conclusion/Implications: To increase the effects of activities using picture books for young children's language development, this study suggested the importance of picture book activities to be integrated with other play areas, teaching methods, and other print materials for the development of literacy abilities, and the link between home and early childhood education institutions.

본 연구는 가정환경과 만 3세 유아의 언어발달, 그리고 또래유능성 간의 관계를 규명하기 위해 실시되었다. 즉, 유아의 가정환경이 바람직할 때 보다 나은 언어능력의 발달이 가능하며, 이는 어린이집 상황에서 보다 나은 긍정적 또래관계, 그리고 부정적 또래관계의 감소를 예측할 것으로 연구모형을 설정하고 이를 검증하였다. 연구대상은 한국아동패널에 참여하고 있는 유아 800명을 대상으로 하였으며, 이들의 4차년도 자료를 사용하였고, 구조방정식 모델링 기법이 적용되었다. 분석 결과, 가정환경과 유아의 어휘능력은 긍정적인 또래관계와 부정적인 또래관계 행동을 유의하게 예측하였다. 또한 유아 언어발달은 가정환경과 또래유능성을 유의하게 매개하는 것으로 밝혀져 유아의 사회적 관계 형성에 언어발달이 중요한 역할을 하고 있음을 시사한다.

Objective: This study explored the mediating effects of language development on the influences of young children's media use on positive and negative peer interactions. Methods: The data came from the 2013 Panel Study on Korean Children (N = 1,215) and were analyzed to assess the mediating effects of media use on positive and negative peer interactions, using SEM with the bootstrapping method by means of SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 20.0. Results and Conclusion: The results show that increased media use affects positive and negative peer interactions through language development. This indicates that, while media use does not directly affect positive and negative peer interactions, it appears to increase the difficulty of developing language ability; as the language development worsens, undesirable peer interactions may develop. Thus, language development seems to play an important mediating role between media use and peer interactions. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

In an experiment to determine the relative effectiveness of poetry activities through constructivist cooking experiences 95 children in three kindergarten classes were assigned to experimental, comparative, and control groups. The experimental group participated in 12-week units of writing poetry after cooking experiences, while the comparative group participated in writing poetry after listening to poetry. Analysis of covariance revealed differences between the mean scores of the three groups on posttests of receptive and expressive language, indicating that the children in the experimental group performed better on the tests than the children in the comparative and control groups. These results suggest that incorporating constructivist cooking into poetry instruction is an effective means of fostering the language development of young children.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of storytelling and discussion types on the language development of young children. 32 treatment sessions were applied to the two experimental groups and the control group(N=151) during 16 weeks. One experimental group children discussed among themselves while the other experimental group children did with teacher. The control group children listened to storytelling by their teacher. Findings are as followings. Children of two experimental groups discussing on storytelling gained higher scores in vocabulary test and reading test than those of control group. The first experimental group discussing about storytelling with teacher gained higher scores in comprehension test than the second experimental group debating among themselves. But, there was no statistically significant difference on vocabulary and reading tests between two experimental groups. It was statistically significant difference on meaning test between two experimental groups.

This study was planned to investigate the effects of mathematical games with motion on young children's development. The study was performed to compose mathematical games with motion and just mathematical games for young children. The games were set up to be executed 16 times for 8 weeks. The results of this study were as follows: Mathematical games with motion had a significant effect on young children's mathematical problem-solving ability. Mathematical games with motion had a significant effect in every category on young children's ability for motion competence and mathematical games with motion had a significant effect on young children's socio-emotional development. There were significant differences between the control group and the experimental group except for the independence from teachers and peer interaction. Mathematical games with motion had a significant effect on young children's language ability.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of young children's stay hours on kindergartens or child care centers on their language, cognition, and social development with teacher-child interactions as a mediator. For this purpose, the data from the 2013 Panel Study on Korean Children were analyzed using the GLM and pattern analysis. The results of the GLM analysis were as follows. First, the main effects of the stay hours on child development were statistically significant Second, the main effects of the level of teacher-child interaction were also statistically significant on the results of child development. Third, the moderating effect of teacher-child interaction level between the stay hours and child development were also significant. The results showed that young children's stay hours effected their language, cognitive, and social development and teacher-child interactions mediated these effects.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of picture book reading intervention activities on language development of low-income children. The subjects were 60 children in low-income families, aged 5, selected from 24 child care centers located in three cities nearby Seoul, South Korea. The experimental group had received intervention program for 8 weeks, two days a week, and three teachers conducted the intervention program for 30 to 40 minutes for each session. The intervention program was administered to the children with picture book reading activities in the first session, followed by providing more extensive activities in the second session. Afterwards, the study allowed the children to take one picture book to read at home. To evaluate the effect of the picture book reading intervention program, this study utilized instruments called the Preschool Receptive-Expressive Language Scale and the Concepts about Print. Significant differences found between the two groups. The experimental group showed higher scores compared with the control group in the post-test of expressive language development. Also, children in the experimental group showed a significant increase in the concepts about print after the intervention program was administered. In conclusion, findings indicate several changes in positive outcomes after implementation of the picture book reading intervention program.

This study investigated the use of grammatical morphemes (substantive morphemes and connective endings) of Korean speaking children with and without language impairment (LI). Participants were two children (ages 5;11 and 6;2) with SLI (specific language impairment), two LD (language delay) children (ages 6;3 and 6;5) with 70-84 range on a performance-IQ test, and two children (ages 5;7 and 6;1) with ND (normal development). Spontaneous language samples were elicited by play activities and story generation. A total of 8,059 (M=I,343, ranged 966-1,659) intelligible and nonimitative utterances were analyzed by the KCLA 2.0 (Korean Computerized Language Analysis 2.0) program for substantive morphemes and connective endings. The findings of this study were as follows; (1) The Korean speaking children with LI including SLI demonstrated less uses of grammatical morphemes than ND children. (2) Few differences were found between LI and ND children in the use of the grammatical morpheme types. (3) LI children produced significantly higher percentage of grammatical morpheme errors in spontaneous speech than ND children. (4) Few differences were found between SLI and LD children in degrees of the use and the error of grammatical morphemes.
