본 연구는 아동의 탐색활동에 관한 연구에 지침이 되고 자극을 주고자, 또한 실제 지도에 있어 시사점을 발견하고자 이 분야에 관한 주요연구문헌을 고찰하였다. 그리하여 탐색활동을 놀이와 호기심과 비교하여 그 정의를 내리고 탐색활동의 기능과 특징, 그리고 이 활동에 영향을 주는 제 요인을 살펴보았다. 그 결과 아동의 탐색활동에 관한 연구자간의 의견차이를 보이는 것이나 연구공백이 있는 것이 여러부분이 됨이 드러났다. 즉 놀이와 탐색활동과의 구별, 탐색활동과 호기심과의 관계, 탐색활동의 동기, 상황에 따른 탐색활동의 유형변화, 탐색활동을 유발시키는 자극물의 특성-특히 공간적 특성, 탐색활동과 아동의 년령, 성별, 인지적 발달단계와의 관계, 그리고 탐색활동에 있어서의 개인차 등에 관해 더 많은 연구가 요구됨을 알 수 있었다. 특히, 아동의 탐색활동과 지적발달 또는 사회성 발달과의 관계나 아동의 발달과정에 따른 훈련이나 교육을 동한 탐색활동의 증진방안 등은 시사성 있는 중요한 연구테마로 보여진다. 또한 이 탐색활동에 관한 연구에서도 실험실에서 이루어진 연구가 자연적인 상황에 얼마나 일반화 될 수 있는지, 한 번의 관찰이나 실험이 계속적인 의미를 지닐 수 있는지에 대해 연구자들이 더욱 신중해야 할 필요성이 있음이 드러났다. 물론, 한 가지 이론이나 연구로서 탐색활동의 전부를 설명할 수는 없다. 유아교육자들이나 아동학자들은 아동이 그 자신의 환경에 적응하고, 사회적 유능성을 함양시키고, 진정한 의미에서의 지능발달에 중요한 것으로 드러난 이 아동의 탐색활동에 관해 더욱 관심을 가지고 여러 가지 이론과 연구를 빌어 연구나 실제 지도에 필요한 아이디어를 삼아야 할 것이다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore maternal physical activity support for preschool children. Methods: Survey methodology using a self-administered questionnaire was employed. Mothers with preschool children from a daycare center in Daejeon participated in the study. One hundred and fifty-six questionnaires were analyzed. Results: Mothers with preschool children showed a moderate level of physical activity support for their children. Significant factors affecting physical activity support of mothers were monthly household income (${\beta}$=.417, p=.002), maternal self-efficacy for physical activity support (${\beta}$=.231, p=.003), information for physical activity support (${\beta}$=.173, p=.022), and experience of education about physical activity support (${\beta}$=.237, p=.002). These variables explained 26.4% of the variance in physical activity support (F=7.628, p<.001). Conclusion: To improve maternal support for increasing physical activity of preschool children, maternal education and appropriate information should be provided to improve self-efficacy for physical activity support.

This study was performed to search for correlation between activity limitation level and participation restriction of children with cerebral palsy by investigating the activity limitation level through the use of the GMFCS E&R and the MACS and by figuring out participation restriction level through questionnaire survey. This study was performed, from May 1, 2010 to August 31, 2010, on 152 children with cerebral palsy ranging from 4 to 12 years, who are receiving rehabilitation therapy in the hospitals and community clinics in Busan and Gyeongnam province. The levels of activity limitation were assessed by using GMFCS E&R and MACS, and a questionnaire survey was conducted for participation restriction of the participating children. Spearman rank correlation was used for correlation analysis with the statistical software, SPSS 12.0. Majority of the children scored level 5 in both GMFCS E&R and MACS which is high frequency of activity limitation levels. Children in these levels also showed severe or complete participation restriction for mobility, education, and social relations. The analysis showed a significantly positive correlation between activity limitation level and participation restriction. Therefore this study may be useful in assessing the functional movement component of participation in children with cerebral palsy and developing the intervention plan for participation.

The aim of this research was to examine whether the sensory integration video modeling intervention would be beneficial to the children with intellectual disabilitiy. Four children with intellectual disabilitiy participated and the A-B-A design was utilized in this study. In the intervention phase, each individual watched his/her own 8 minutes long previously recorded video which was the independent variable in this study. The dependent variables were (1) the self-initiation and task performance of the four sensory integration activities, (2) performance time of Grooved Pegboard. During the intervention period, each individual participated in the occupational therapy session twice a week. The result showed that sensory integration video modeling increased self-initiation and task performance of the participants. Self-initiation and the task performance scores of the participants were maintained even after the intervention period. When Grooved Pegboard was administered, the performance time decreased. The findings indicated that sensory integration video modeling may be an effective intervention for improving self-initiation and task performance and reducing inattentiveness in children with intellectual disabilitiy. In the future research, it is suggested that the level of cognition and sensory processing capabilities of the participants be considered to validate the effectiveness of sensory integration video modeling.
