Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of child-initiated cooking activity on young children's self-efficacy and learning interest. To achieve this, the child-initiated cooking activity and teacher-initiated cooking activity were performed on an experimental group and comparative group, respectively. A total of sixty-eight subjects in 2 classes of 34 four and five year old children in private child-care centers in Chungnam from September 9 to December 31, 2013 were evaluated. The results were as follows. First, the general self-efficacy of the comparative group increased slightly, but that of the experimental group increased significantly, which showed a statistically significant difference in the general self-efficacy. In addition, the child-initiated cooking activity had an effect on the improvement of the cognitive domain, social-emotional domain and physical domain by each sub-factor. Second, the general learning interest of the comparative group increased slightly, but that of the experimental group increased significantly, in which there was a statistically significant difference in the general learning interest. In addition, the child-initiated cooking activity had an effect on the improvement of attention, interest, confidence, conscientiousness and activity interest by each sub-factor. In the findings stated above, the child-initiated cooking activity was an education activity that had a positive effect on the young children's self-efficacy and learning interest.

본 연구는 유아주도 요리활동이 유아의 자기효능감 및 학습흥미도에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 충남에 소재한 민간어린이집 만 4~5세에 재원 중인 34명씩의 두 학급 총 68명을 대상으로 2013년 9월 9일부터 12월 31일까지 실험집단에게는 유아주도 요리활동을, 비교집단에게는 교사주도 요리활동을 실시하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 전체 자기효능감에 있어 비교집단은 약한 증가효과가 있었으나 실험집단은 높은 증가효과를 나타내어 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 또한 각 하위요인별 인지적 영역, 사회 정서적 영역, 신체적 영역 향상에 있어서도 유아주도 요리활동이 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 전체 학습흥미도에 있어 비교집단은 약한 증가효과가 있었으나 실험집단은 높은 증가효과를 나타내어 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 또한 각 하위요인별 주의집중, 흥미도, 자신감, 성실성, 활동에 대한 관심 향상에 있어서도 유아주도 요리활동이 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 유아주도 요리활동이 유아의 자기효능감과 학습흥미도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 교육활동임을 나타내주었다.
