미술과 통합한 유아과학교육 프로그램의 개발 및 적용효과

초록

This study aimed to develop an Integrated Art with Science Educational program (hereafter, IASCE) which increases young children’s creative expression and exploring ability, and examines its effectiveness. To examine the effectiveness of the program, fifty 5-year-old children were examined over 13 weeks from 7 April, 2011; twenty-five 5-year-old children from S kindergarten, D district in Seoul were the experimental group and twenty-five 5-year-old children from M kindergarten in the same district were the control group. The results were as follows. First, the IASCE had a positive effect on children’s scientific exploration ability. Second, the IASCE showed a positive effect on increasing children’s scientific attitudes. Third, the IASCE influenced positively the increase of children’s creativity. This reflects that young children’s science education program integrated with art is feasible to apply in real educational fields. It also suggests that the IASCE is distinguished from previous science-art integrating programs.
