숲 유아학교에서 나타난 유아들의 위험부담 놀이의 양상과 의미 = Types and Significances of Risk-taking Play in a Forest Preschool

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purposes of this study are to provide basic information about educational environment, contents, and learning and teaching methods of outdoor play through qualitative analyses of risky-taking play in a forest preschool. The targets of this study were 15 children and their teachers in H forest preschool. The researchers observed outdoor play, interviewed children and teachers from April 2012 to January 2013, and analyzed the data based on a grounded theory. This study identified five types of risk-taking play: 'climbing up high', 'sliding down the slopes', 'playing near dangerous area', 'using real tools', and 'playing out of sight of adults'. It also found that 'sense of challenging and achievement', 'physical and social development', 'improvement of coping strategies about risk', and 'positive learning dispositions' could be achieved through risk-taking play. Therefore teachers should recognize risk-taking play as an important part of children's play, take permissive attitudes toward risk-taking play, and provide a natural outdoor environment in order to enhance active and vigorous play.

본 연구의 목적은 숲 유아학교에서 나타나는 유아들의 위험부담 놀이의 양상과 의미를 질적 연구방법으로 고찰하고 분석함으로써 유아교육기관 실외놀이의 교육적 환경과 교육내용, 교수․학습을 위한 기초자료를 제공하는 데 있다. 이를 위하여 충청남도 H숲유아학교 교사들과 유아 15명을 대상으로 하였다. 2012년 4월 12일부터 2013년 1월 23일까지 참여관찰, 면담, 유치원 홈페이지에 제시된 사진과 동영상 등을 통해 자료를 수집하였으며, 수집된 자료는 범주화하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 유아들의 위험부담 놀이의 양상은 '높은 곳으로 올라가기', '경사로 내려오기', '위험장소 근처에서 놀이하기', '위험한 도구를 이용하기', '유아들이 사라지거나 길을 잃어버릴 수 있는 장소에서 놀이하기'로 나타났다. 또한 유아들의 위험부담 놀이의 의미는 '도전정신과 성취감 고취', '신체 및 사회성 발달', '위험에 대한 대처전략 함양', '긍정적인 학습성향 습득'으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 유아들의 위험부담 놀이는 유아의 놀이에서 중요한 부분으로 인식되어야 하며, 이 놀이를 적극적이며 활기차게 지속할 수 있도록 교사의 허용적인 태도 및 자연적인 교육환경을 제공해 주는 것이 필요하겠다.
