Abstract The purpose is to figure out the effects of education for environmental pollution prevention through forest experiences on children's nature-friendly and scientific problem solving ability. To achieve this, an experiment was conducted on total 44 kindergarten children in a class for 5-year-olds, who are classified into experimental of 22 children(12 male children, 10 female children) and comparative of 22 children(13 male children, 9 female children), in a C farming village. The results are as follows. First, the change of children's nature-friendly by showed that education for environmental pollution prevention through forest experiences had an effect on the improvement of children's nature-friendly. Second, the change of children's scientific problem solving ability by showed that education for environmental pollution prevention through forest experiences had an effect on the improvement of children's scientific problem solving ability. This implies that children's forest activities are useful in improving their nature-friendly and scientific problem solving ability.

도록하는데근본적인목표를두고있다 [1]. 발달기유아들의경우주변환경에대한사물을바르게인식하고, 환경을판단할수있는인지적능력이부족하여이를실천하는데어려움이많다. 따라서유아들의올바른환경오염실태와바른인식을심어주기위해도심내이론교육보다자연과함께하는숲체험교육을권장하고있다. 이러한자연친화적숲체험교육은유아기부터환경보전을실천하는것으로습관화되게하는것이유아환경교육의중요한목적이다 [2-4]. 숲체험교육은유아들이자연속에서숲의생태적환경을탐구하는체험의장으로환경에대한지식을습득하고스스로느끼고깨달아실천할수있게하는데있다. 숲은유아들이자주접할수있는오염예방에대한유아교육기관에서자주활용하기좋은교육장소이다. 이는관련선행연구를통해뒷받침해준다. 이같은중요성에도불구하고현재수행되어온환경관련선행연구를보면동화나문학, 미술을활용한환경교육연구 [1,2,4-7] 와텃밭가꾸기 [8-11], 자연물탐색 [3,12], 환경친화적행동 [13,14], 자연체험활동을통한미술표현력효과연구 [15,16] 등의단일연구에머물러있다. 즉, 선행연구들의대부분이자연환경을활용하는효과에대해검증하고있으나유아환경교육에서중요하게고려되어야할숲환경을이용한자연체험교육을통한예방교육및문제해결력과관련된연구는미흡한실정이다. 이는유아교육현장에서교사들이아직도환경교육을수행하는데과학적사고의낮은인식과유아의이동성과및접근성의제한에기인한것으로볼수있다 [4]. 또한현재유아교육과정에서의환경교육을자연친화적인숲체험현장에적절히연결하여적용시킬수있는교사들의경험부족과장소확보의어려움이많은것도유아교육의현장적용가능성을제한하게하는주요요인이되고있다 [5]. 이는유아교육현장에서유아환경교육에대하여바람직한방향의이론적토대와그것을실행할수있는교수-학습방법의적극적인개발이요구됨을시사한다. 특히, 탐구중심의체험교육이중요시되는유아교육에서숲이라는자연환경에서의산교육을통해긍정적인환경지식과태도를기르기위해서는유아들에게친숙하면서도적극적으로참여할수있는숲체험활동교육이보다필요함을뒷받침해준다. 따라서본연구는숲체험을통한환경오염예방교육활동이유아의자연친화적태도와과학적문제해결력에미치는효과가어느정도인지를알아보는데본연구의목적을갖는다. 2. 연구방법 2.1 조사대상및조사방법 조사대상은 C농촌소도시에소재하는어린이집만5세반어린이를대상으로 44명을실험집단 (22명) 과비교집단 (22명) 으로나누어선정하였다. 비교집단은일반적인어린이집 5세누리과정프로그램으로운영하고, 실험집단은누리과정과연계된환경오염관련예방교육활동프로그램을적용하여실시하였다. 실험집단과비교집단의교사는유아교육을전공하고경력도각각 3년과 4년의경력자로구성하였다. [Table 1] Number of Children by Group Number of children Classification Male Female Total 12 10 22 13 9 22 Total 25 19 44 그리고조사방법으로숲체험을통한환경오염예방교육을실시하기전 2012년 8월 22일 ~2012년 8월 31일까지사전검사를하였다. 또한실험처치는실험집단유아 22명에게어린이집일정과관련하여매주화요일과목요일 1회씩또는 2회씩기관의형평성을고려하여 10주동안총 16회에걸쳐 2012년 9월 6일 ~11월 19일까지실시한후사전검사와동일한설문지를통하여사후검사를실시하였다. 비교집단에적용한누리과정과연계된환경오염관련예방교육활동프로그램 1~16차시의구체적내용은다음과같다. 2.2 측정변수와설문지구성측정도구는본연구의목적에맞추어총 33문항으로구성하였다. 설문지구성을위한척도는성별을묻는명목척도를제외하고나머지는등간척도로구성하였다. 2.2.1 자연친화적태도자연친화적태도란생명에대한존중의식을바탕으로동물과식물에대해관심을갖고사랑하며, 인공적인환경보다자연환경에대하여친숙함을느끼며선호하는태도를말한다 [17]. 본연구에서는자연친화적태도를측정하기위해유아용자연친화적태도검사도구 [15,17,18] 를기초로본연구에맞도록수정 보완하여사용하였다. 즉, 동 식물에 1605

한국산학기술학회논문지제 14 권제 4 호, 2013 을바탕으로동식물의자연속에서표현하고탐색하고문제를해결하는활동을통해필요한개념을보다쉽게습득하고새로운지식을발견하면서환경오염예방교육에영향을주었다고사료된다. 즉, 숲체험을통한환경오염예방교육이유아의자연친화적태도향상에효과가있음을보여준결과는숲체험활동이유아가환경에대한자연친화적태도를학습할수있는원천이될수있다는선행연구 [18] 의연구결과를지지해주었다. 또한통합적교육활동을한실험집단이일반활동을한비교집단보다자연친화적태도점수가높게나타나친환경적태도에긍정적인영향을미쳤다고보고한선행연구 [17] 의연구결과와도유사함을알수있다. 또한본연구에서적용한숲체험을통한환경오염예방교육이유아의전체과학적문제해결력향상에효과가있음을보여준결과는자연환경의관찰, 자연환경의변화의감지, 자연의고마움인식, 자연에대한심미적즐거움을경험등자연에관한탐구활동이긍정적인태도를형성하게된다는선행연구 [2] 의연구와도일치함을확인할수있다. 또한환경을직접경험해보는활동을통한유아환경교육이유아의과학적문제해결력과환경에대한심미감, 책임감, 이해력등을향상시켜환경에대한태도를긍정적으로향상시켜준다는연구 [21] 와도맥을같이한다. 이상의결과를바탕으로향후살아있는자연과더불어생명체와함께하는숲체험활동의장려와동시숲환경에맞는다양한응용프로그램의접목이요구된다. 마지막으로본연구에서의조사대상이전국적표본이아닌특정지역에국한된점에서결과를일반화하는데제한을갖는바, 따라서향후연구에서는다양한지역과연령층의특성을고려한전국적조사가요구된다.
