Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore how to use location data for peer relations of infants in free-choice play activities. For this study, location data was collected using wearable devices for 14 students in one class at an early childhood education institution in Chungnam. For the pre-processing of the collected location data, a smoothing technique was applied to recover missing values during the collection process, and the data was visualized using Python's Matplotlib. Subsequently, the movement distance, distance between infants, and interaction types of infants were extracted from the location data using the formula. As a result of the study, it was possible to derive 1) change in moving distance, cumulative value, average value, 2) change in distance and average distance value between infants, and 3) change and trend in interaction type according to the passage of time. These results can provide valuable information on the process of forming peer groups for infants in situations where it is difficult for a teacher to closely observe all members, and can be used as meaningful information for the design and operation of educational programs.

본 연구는 자유선택놀이 활동에서 유아의 또래관계 탐색을 위한 위치데이터의 활용 방안을 탐색하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 충남 소재 유아교육기관 1개 학급, 14명을 대상으로 웨어러블 디바이스를 활용하여 위치데이터를 수집했다. 수집한 위치데이터의 전처리를 위해 스무딩 기법을 적용하여 수집 과정에서 발생한 결측치를 복구하고 파이썬의 Matplotlib를 활용해 데이터를 시각화했다. 이후 수식을 활용하여 위치데이터에서 이동거리, 유아 간 거리, 유아의 상호작용 유형을 추출했다. 연구결과 시간의 흐름에 따른 1) 이동거리의 변화와 누적값 및 평균값, 2) 유아간 거리 변화와 평균 거리값 3) 상호작용 유형의 변화와 경향성을 도출할 수 있었다. 정보통신기술의 발달은 교육현장에 많은 변화를 야기하고 있으며 특히 최근 교육 현장에서는 학습자의 특성, 요구를 중심으로 다양한 교수-학습적 처방을 통한 맞춤형 교육에 대한 수요가 높아지고 있다. 이러한 연구결과는 교사가 모든 유아를 세밀하게 관찰하기 어려운 상황에서 유아들의 또래집단 형성 과정에 대한 정보를 제공할 수 있으며 이에 따른 교육 프로그램의 설계 및 운영에 유의미한 정보로 활용될 수 있다.
