그림책을 활용한 즉흥극이 유아의 자기 표현력에 미치는 영향

Effects of improvisation drama activities based on picturebooks on young children’s self-expression

본 연구는 그림책을 활용하여 즉흥극 교수 모형을 구안하여 효과를 살펴보고자 한다. 효과적인 즉흥극을 구성하기 위해 그림책 도구를 사용하여 그림책을 활용한 즉흥극을 구안하였다. 즉흥극 프로그램 효과의 검증을 위한 실험집단 S유치원의 만 5세 유아 20명을 대상으로 10주 기간에 30회의 즉흥극을, 통제집단인 20명의 다른 학급 유아들에게 기존의 그림책 읽기 활동의 표상활동 후 유아의 자기표현력 신장을 위한 효과를 검증하였다. 연구결과로 그림책에 기초한 자기표현력 신장을 위한 즉흥극 활동은 유아의 언어적 표현력, 비언어적 표현력에 유의미한 차이를 보였다.

The purpose of this study is to design teaching models of picturebook-based improvisation dramas for five-year-old children and to verify their effect on young children s self-expression ability. The sampling of this study was a total 40 children who are younger than 5 years old, who were divided into test group and control group. The test group underwent expression activity with teaching models of picturebook-based improvisation dramas, while the control group had representation activities after reading same picturebooks. Three times a week during 10 weeks for picturbook reading, the children had read picturebook with the sequence of reading picturebooks. The size of the group being same for both groups. After reading picturebooks, the test group performed pantomimes in the first session each week, role plays in the second session, impromptu or thematic plays in the third session. While, the control group had representation activities related with picturebooks. The result for research questions were as follows. First, picturebook-based improvisation drama activity had a positive effect on young children s expression ability. Secondly, picturebook-based improvisation drama activity had a positive effect on young children s paralinguistic expression ability. As such, teaching models of picturebook-based improvisation dramas had a positive effect on young children’s self-expression ability. This study, highlighting the importance of the boost of young children s self-expression ability, would like to be the groundwork for successive research on teaching models of picturebook-based improvisation dramas for the boost of young children s self-expression ability.
