실외 자연놀이에서 나타나는 2세 영아의 조망수용경험 및 친사회적 경험의 참색

초록

This research explores 2-year-old toddlers’ social perspective taking and prosocial experiences while they play in the nature-bounded outdoor area in the daycare center. For this research, twenty toddlers were observed and two teachers participated in the data collecting procedure. Researchers visited the child care center every Tuesday and Thursday for about six months and video recorded their playing. The nature-bounded outdoor play means playing without a structured program or adult intervention. The video recorded documents were mainly used for this quantitative research and monthly education plan and counseling materials were also used. The results of this research are as follows. First, two-year-old toddlers take others' perspective. This reveals as they inferred playmates’ feelings and needs. Second, two-year-old toddlers showed three types of prosocial experiences: ‘yield’, ‘help’ and ‘cooperate’. The research results emphasize the toddlers' prosocial possibility so that younger children should be exposed to areas where they can exercise social skills. Moreover, meaningful social experiences can happen with trial and error with the real relationship in developmentally-appropriate circumstances rather than in structured curriculums. The results can serve as a base study for developing young children’s social learning environment.
