초등학교 관련 그림책 읽기 후 확장활동이 유아의 초등학교 적응을 위한 자기 효능감에 미치는 영향

초록

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of post-picture book reading activities about elementary schools on young children's self-efficacy for school adjustment. The participants were 37 five-year old children, and they were divided into two experimental groups. The children in both groups read two books per week for 8 weeks. The members in Experimental group 1 participated in two types of post-reading activities: games and role-plays whereas the participants in Experimental group 2 participated only in picture book reading activities. The results showed that the participants’ self-efficacy significantly enhanced in both groups, indicating that reading picture books about elementary schools is effective for enhancing young children’s self-efficacy for successful adjustment to schools. In addition, the self-efficacy of the Experimental group 1 was significantly higher than that of the Experimental group 2, which suggests that the benefits of picture book reading are even greater when it is followed by post-reading activities.
