초록

Objectives This study is to examine the effects of application-based mathematics education on young children's mathematical ability and attitude to application utilization. Methods The purposes of this study wFor this purpose, 87 children aged 3 to 5 years (45 experimental group and 42 comparative group) were selected from early childhood education institutions in the metropolitan area. The experimental group conducted mathematical activities in the mathematics education application with parents at home, and the comparative group used the activity sheets consisting of the same concept as the contents of the mathematics education experienced by the experimental group. The collected data were statistically processed using the program for SPSS 25.0 Windows. Before and after the experiment, the experimental group, the infant's mathematical ability, and the attitude of using educational applications were measured, and the data were analyzed by conducting covariance analysis (ANCOVA) and independent sample T-test. Results Application-based early childhood mathematics education has a significant effect on young children's mathematical ability and attitude to use applications. The mathematical ability of the children was found to affect the number, operation, geometry, and measurement of the sub-areas, and the attitude of the children's use of educational applications had a positive effect on the competence of the sub-areas. Conclusions This study suggests that application-based mathematics activities can be an effective method for early childhood mathematics education.
