초록

The purpose of this study is to examine the content of questions asked by 5-year-old children while playing with artificial intelligence (AI) speakers, thereby gaining insight into the interests and concerns of children through play using digital devices and the meaningful questions that arise during the process. The participants of this study were 16 children aged 5 years at daycare center A in a large city. As a result of analyzing the collected data, the content of the questions asked by the research participants was divided into 11 upper categories, 40 middle categories, and 23 lower categories regarding objects, numbers, music, people, objects, play, science, language, others, society, and death. The research results are as follows. First, questions regarding objects were observed the most frequently among the content of the questions asked by the research participants, and the subcategories of questions regarding objects were four in total: objects(function), food, places, and personification of objects. Among these, questions regarding personification of objects were observed the most frequently, and questions regarding places were observed the least frequently. Second, questions regarding numbers and music, which were observed the most frequently, were question content that did not appear as subcategories in previous studies, and can be considered as newly added question content categories in this study. The third person-related questions were observed the most frequently, and among them, the questions about emotions were the highest. In addition, the content of questions about the object was newly added. The subcategory of the object was the question about friends, which is a real object, was the highest.
