Abstract

The aim of this study is to find out how the mathematics activities linked to outdoor movement activities affect children's motor abilities. S kindergarten located in Gyeonggido do conducted a fifteen week program for young children aged five years. In this study, young children's motor perfromenace test scale of Ji Sungae(2007) was conducted. Each area consists of a five-point scale. There were a total of thirty-three questions. pre-tests and post-tests were performed for young children's motor performance. t-test was used. As a result of this study, it was found that mathematics activities in connection with outdoor movement activities had a positive effect on the improvement of overall exercise ability, non-movement exercise ability, and mobility exercise ability of young children. Based on the results of this study, it is expected that various programs for young children integrated with outdoor motor activities will be developed and applied to the site.

본 연구는 실외 동작활동을 연계한 수학활동이 유아의 운동능력에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보는 데 목적이 있다. 경기도에 위치한 S유치원 만 5세 유아를 대상으로 총 15주간의 프로그램을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 유아 운동능력 검사에서는 지성애(2007)의 유아 운동능력 검사 척도를 사용하였다. 각 영역은 모두 5점 평정척도로 구성되어 있다. 검사 문항의 수는 총 33개 문항이다. 유아의 운동능력에 대한 사전검사와 사후검사를 실시하였다. t 검증을 사용하였다. 본 연구 결과, 실외 동작활동을 연계한 수학활동이 유아의 전체 운동능력, 비이동 운동 능력, 이동 운동 능력의 증진에 긍정적인 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 한, 실외 동작활동과 통합한 다양한 프로그램이 개발되어 현장에 적용될 것으로 기대한다.
