Abstract

This study aims to develop a three-sentence speech screening test to evaluate speech development in 4-year-old children and provide standards for comparison with peers. Screening tests were conducted on 24 children each in the first and second halves of 4 years old. The screening test results showed a correlation of .7 with the existing speech disorder evaluation test results. We compared whether there was a difference between the two groups of 4-year-old in the phonological development indicators and error patterns obtained through the screening test. The developmental indicators of the children in the second half were high, but there were no statistically significant differences. The Korean Speech Sound Analysis Tool (KSAT) was used for all analyses, and the automatic analysis results and contents of the clinician's manual analysis were compared. The degree of agreement between the automatic and manual error pattern analyses was 93.63%. The significance of this study is that the standard of speech of a 4-year-old child of the speech screening test according to three sentences at the level of elicited sentences, and the applicability of the KSAT were reviewed in both clinical and research fields.

본 연구는 4세 아동에 대한 말소리발달 평가를 위해 세 문장 따라말하기 선별검사를 개발하고 또래와 비교할 수 있는 규준을 제공하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해 4세 전반과 후반 각각 24명씩 총 48명의 아동에게 선별검사를 실시하였다. 선별검사 결과는 기존의 말소리장애 평가 검사 결과와 .7의 상관을 보였다. 선별검사를 통해 구한 음운발달 지표와 오류패턴에서 4세 전반과 후반으로 나눈 두 집단에 차이가 있는지 비교하였다. 후반 아동의 발달지표가 높은 것으로 나왔지만 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 모든 분석은 한국어말소리분석도구(Korean Speech Sound Analysis Tool, KSAT)를 사용하였으며, 자동분석 결과와 임상가의 수동분석 내용을 비교하였다. 자동분석과 수동분석의 오류패턴분석 일치도는 93.63%였다. 본 연구의 의의는 유도 문장수준에서 세 문장 따라말하기 선별검사의 4세 아동의 말소리 규준을 제시했다는 것과 KSAT의 임상과 연구 현장에서 적용 가능성을 검토하였다는 것이다.
