This paper aims to clarify Heidegger's concept of 'play(Spiel)'. Through Heidegger's ideas of play, we are going to present that the concept of play, as frequently argued, not only stay with playful side associated with human mental activity but also like with further perspectives. In other words, we will show the ontological meaning of the Heidegger' concept of play. First, in Heidegger's early thinking, the play appears in 'play of life' or 'play of transcendence'. In contrast, in his later thinking, the play appears in 'play-space', 'Time-play-space', 'mirror-play', 'play of silent', etc. Thus, we have tried to clarify the Heidegger's concept of play that divided as the starting point of his turn(Kehre).

어린이의 생활은 놀이의 생활이라고 말할 정도로 대부분의 시간을 놀이를 하고 있다고 할 수있다. 놀이란 어린이의 생활에 정상적으로 따르는 것이며 어린이는 놀이를 통하여 모든면의 성장발달이 이루어지고 있다. 즉 놀이는 어린이의 성장발달에 매우 중요한 것이다. 어린이를 접하고 다루게 되는 어른들은 어린이의 놀이에 관한 충분한 지식을 가지고 잘 지도하여 어린이의 건전한 발달에 공헌하여야 한다. 본 논문은 학령전 어린이의 놀이를 중심으로 하여 놀이의 중요성과 성장발달에 미치는 영향을 보았고 어린이들이 주로 하고 있는 놀이의 일반적인 발달단계와 여러놀이를 위한 어른들의 지도를 다루었다. 어린이를 기르고 있는 부모들 어린이를 지도하는 교사들 또 앞으로 부모가 될 사람들에게 다소나마 도움이 되고자 한다.

This study purported to empirically examine joy expression and its cognitive and social contexts in children's play. The following question was asked: 1) What kind(s) of emotional expression(s) can be considered as a defining feature of play? 2) What cognitive/social play contexts are associated with joy expression. 30 children aged 3, 4, and 5 years were observed in terms of the length of each emotional expression at play/nonplay, and at cognitive/social play categories. The findings of this study showed that regardless of children's age and gender only joy expression could be considered as a defining feature of play, and that R&T play and chase games, or associative and cooperative social play were strongly related to joy expression. The findings were discussed in reference with existing assertions and perspectives, emphasizing the importance of joy expression in defining children's play despite of the predominance of interest expression in play. The findings were also discussed in reference with metacommunication functions and social construction of joy, considering cognitive/social contexts of joy. Implications for play researchers and practitioners were described in terms of developing playful learning strategies for childhood. Limitations of this study, and suggestions for further research were also provided.

These days, one of the most influential media content on children is 'Carrie and toys'. This content have caused the children to imitate play. There were several features in this play. First, children who play 'Carrie' pursue pleasure voluntarily and positively. But it took a thorough preparation to get that pleasure. Second, the motivation for play was ambiguous. It is a play that follows the person who plays. In the scene of enjoying the play, the inner motivation is obvious, but in the play which follows the play person, it showed the expectation of the external factor, the other person's attention. Third, this play has high regularity and low degree of freedom. The children proceeded to play in a typical sequence and dialogue. Parts that can be freely freed are often scaled down and finished in a formalized form. Fourth, 'Carrie play' built a solid play world. The worlds of play have been established and participants have a new name. But there is no diffusibility.
