Abstract

The purpose of this study is to improve the understanding of children's play behavior by exploring the relationship between variables predicting children's preferred play areas using the data of the Korean Children's Panel, which is a national longitudinal study data. For this purpose, we investigated how children's gender, creativity, and peer play behaviors affect children's preferred play areas on their preferred play areas. The research results revealed in this study are as follows. First, there were differences in creativity, peer play behaviors, and play area preference according to children's gender. Second, as a result of examining the effect of children's creativity and peer play behaviors on play area preference, factors influencing language area, art area, math & manipulative area, and role play area preference were different based on block play area preference group. This study has great implications in that it provides basic data for children's play behavior by exploring variables that affect children's preference for play areas.

본 연구의 목적은 국가 수준의 종단 연구 자료인 한국아동패널 자료를 활용하여 유아가 선호하는 놀이영역을 예측하는 변인들의 관계를 탐색하여 유아의 놀이행동에 대한 이해를 증진시키고자 하는 것이다. 이를 위해 유아의 성을 통제변인으로 설정하고 창의성과 또래놀이행동이 유아의 놀이영역 선호에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 알아보았다. 본 연구에서 밝힌 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째 유아의 성에 따라 창의성, 또래놀이행동, 놀이영역 선호의 차이가 나타났다. 둘째, 유아의 창의성과 또래놀이행동이 놀이영역 선호에 미치는 영향을 알아본 결과, 쌓기놀이영역 선호집단을 기준으로 할 때 언어영역, 미술영역, 수조작놀이영역, 역할놀이영역 선호에 영향을 미치는 요인은 다르게 나타났다. 본 연구는 유아의 놀이영역 선호에 영향을 미치는 변인들을 탐색하여 유아의 놀이행동을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고 있다는 점에서 시사하는 바가 크다.
