Abstract

The aim of this study was to provide basic contents which are based on the appropriate understanding, use, and information of smart devices for young children. The researcher surveyed mothers regarding the effects of their children's development as a result of using smart devices. A survey of 134 mothers with three to five-year-old children currently attending daycare centers or kindergartens was carried out. By using SPSS 18.0, the collected data of survey results was implemented via t-test and F verification. Study findings are as follows: First, the result of the survey analysis indicated that most mothers perceived that using smart devices did not heavily influence their child's development. Second, the mothers' perception was varied depending on whether it was their child's the first time using smart devices, the mother's education level, and on the mother's employment situation. However, there was no difference of perception in regards to gender. The results of this study suggest the necessity of parental intervention and prevention of side effect of children 's smart device use and parent education program.

본 연구는 스마트기기의 이용이 유아들에게 미치는 영향에 대한 어머니들의 인식을 바탕으로 스마트기기를 이해하고 적절한 이용방법과 지도에 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행되었다. 연구대상은 유아교육기관에 다니는 3-5세 유아를 둔 어머니 134명이었으며 질문지를 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 분석을 위해 SPSS 18.0을 이용하여 t-test, F검증을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 대부분의 어머니들은 스마트기기가 유아의 발달에 크게 영향을 미치지 않은 것으로 인식하였다. 또한 어머니들은 스마트기기의 처음 이용 시기, 학력, 취업유무에 따라서 유아에게 미치는 영향에 대한 인식에 차이가 있었다. 그러나 성별에 따른 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구 결과는 자녀들의 스마트기기 이용에 대한 부모 개입과 부작용 예방 및 부모교육프로그램에 대한 필요성을 시사한다.
