본 연구는 아버지의 놀이신념이 놀이참여를 매개로 유아의 놀이몰입과 또래놀이행동에 미치는 영향력이 어떠한가를 분석해보는데 목적을 두었다. 이를 위해 G시와 J도 소재 유아교육기관의 유아 242명과 그들의 아버지를 연구대상으로 선정하고, 이현지(2016)의 부모놀이신념 척도와 원희영(1998)의 부모 놀이참여 검사, 나은숙(2013)의 유아 놀이몰입 척도와 최혜영, 신혜영(2008)의 또래놀이행동 검사를 활용하여 자료를 수집하였다. 구체적으로 연구목적과 응답방법에 대한 안내지를 포함한 놀이신념과 놀이참여 질문지를 가정에 배부하여 아버지로부터 자료를 수집하였으며, 유아의 놀이몰입과 또래놀이행동은 담임교사를 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 수집된 자료를 토대로 Hayes(2013)의 PROCESS macro를 활용한 매개모형(mediation model)의 유의성 검증을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 아버지의 놀이신념이 놀이참여를 매개로 유아의 놀이몰입, 또래놀이행동 중 놀이방해, 놀이상호작용에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과는 아버지의 놀이신념과 놀이참여가 유아의 놀이에 대한 사회 정서적 측면에 직간접적으로 영향을 미치고 있음을 시사한다. 이에 유아의 놀이에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 아버지의 양육역할의 중요성을 강조하였으며, 아버지의 놀이신념이 실제적인 놀이참여에 영향을 미침으로써 유아의 놀이만족과 건강한 놀이행동을 유도할 수 있음을 고려하여 이들 변인을 긍정적으로 강화할 필요가 있음을 논의하였다.

Objective: This study focused on the relationships between emotionality, social competence and play behavior in a sample of 218 4- to 5-year olds attending daycare centers. Methods: All variables were measured by the daycare teachers of the surveyed children. The data were analyzed using Simple Regression and Multiple Regression through SPSS Win 25.0. Results: First, preschoolers' positive emotionality had a negative effect on their play disruption and play disconnection and a positive effect on play interaction. On the other hand, their negative emotionality had a positive effect on play disruption and play disconnection and a negative effect on play interaction. Second, their positive emotionality had a positive influence on social competence and their negative emotionality had a negative influence. Finally, the effect of their positive emotionality on play disruption was partially mediated, and their play disconnection and play interaction was totally mediated by social competence. On the other hand, the effect of preschoolers' negative emotionality on play disruption and play disconnection was totally mediated, and their play interaction was partially mediated by social competence.

This study will examine the current condition of outdoor play in child care centers and the overall perception of teachers on outdoor play in regards to its related programs and children's reaction to them. Through examining such issues, this study will provide the basic data that can be applied in planning appropriate outdoor play activities, programs and environments. For the study, we surveyed teachers and directors of child care centers using a structured questionnaire. The objects of the survey were 22 child care centers in Daejeon and Seoul, who agreed to conduct the survey. The survey was conducted from August 1 to September 30 2006; 220 copies were distributed, and 188 copies were collected. The results of the study can be summarized as follows: 1) The number of outdoor plays per week were on average 1~2 in most cases, although teachers believed the play should be done everyday. Outdoor play time was mostly 21~30 minutes, while teachers thought 31~40 minutes as appropriate. Children's reaction scored the highest when they played outdoors for 30 minutes every day with their teachers involved in the play. As a result, we have concluded that the appropriate outdoor play should be conducted everyday for 30~40 minutes. 2) Outdoor play was mostly conducted as part of the overall educational plan rather than a separate plan. Since outdoor play affects children's development as much as indoor play, there is a need for development of a specific and separate plan for various outdoor play programs. 3) The outdoor play program that was most often conducted was equipment play and sand play. This indicated the monolithic nature of the outdoor program. Given the fact that children enjoy outdoor plays a lot (M=4.71), various programs including adventure play, sensitive play, and carpenter play should be developed. 4) In outdoor play, the teacher's role included supervising and interacting with children. According to the survey, teachers had a good understanding of the importance on safety and supervising issues in outdoor plays. However they seemed to overlook the importance of having better programs and improving teacher's participation to the play. Despite the importance of outdoor play to children's development, the result shows that teachers have tendencies to limit and obstruct outdoor plays by emphasizing supervising and safety issues instead. 5) Children's safety should not be the only consideration for outdoor plays; teachers ought to better understand that children's development can be maximized by the play. Furthermore, there should be emphasis placed on the program development and teacher's participation; teacher's participation should actively encourage the interactions between a child and a teacher, as well as among children.
