This study examines whether the Havruta method of reading picture books affects the emotional changes of adults, whether the picture books play a role as a psychological tool for self-awareness and self-recovery, and Havruta's question and discussion process improves communication and sociality. We tried to find out whether it significantly affects the improvement of empathy. Even though women's status in the modern world has risen, it is still up to women to raise children. In other words, social activities are terminated due to pregnancy, childbirth, and child-rearing, and careers are transferred to full-time housewives. Unrecognized value of child-raising labor and career breaks lead to psychological depression and loss of self-esteem. Parents' depression must be recovered as it causes negative emotional patterns in their children. However, in reality, counseling treatment is impossible for everyone who is experiencing difficulties. Therefore, it is a common topic of daily life that has been revealed through prior research. It is the characteristics of picture books that help humans to recognize and manage their emotions while recognizing various problems in their lives and seeking solutions. This study is necessary in that there is a need for an opportunity to confront and reflect on one's own emotional problems that are not visible to adults, especially infants and child caregivers, by grafting Havruta, which helps metacognition, which can be considered as a metacognition. Accordingly, a total of 22 adults in this paper were assigned to the A test group (10 people) living in A city and the B control group (12 people) living in A city and other areas. As a research tool, the Self-Esteem Inventory produced by Coopersmith (1967) was translated and standardized into the Korean version as a tool for measuring self-esteem. Mehrabian & Epstein (1972)'s emotional empathy as a tool for empathy As the scale, the emotional sympathy scale was used, in which the original 9-point scale was converted to a 5-point scale by Hyunsoo Seol, Dongmin Kim, and Suhyun Lee. The same test sheet was used both before and after. The research procedure consisted of activities by selecting books dealing with self-awareness, and the experimental group gathered at the same place to read a picture book, then wrote a question, paired up, and wrote a post-reading activity sheet. The process of proceeded. As a result of the study, first, it was found that havruta after reading a picture book had an effect on self-awareness. Second, the quantity of questions was correlated with the quality of the question, and third, when havruta was used as a picture book, self-esteem and empathy increased. Appeared. However, it remains regrettable that this paper did not quantify emotional changes before and after class. In other words, it was possible to qualitatively confirm that there was a change in self-esteem or empathy through interviews, etc. of adults who participated in the reading class, but the fact that the degree of change was not quantified remains the limitation of this paper. In addition, using the research results of this paper, it is necessary to explore ways to develop a reading model for caregivers who have difficulty in external activities. After conducting an actual online class, it is possible to develop a reading model that can be used throughout finding problems and improvements. This will be postponed to subsequent studies. Furthermore, it is hoped that the expansion of this study will lead to the development of a structured parent education havruta model and a program that combines picture books and havruta for children and children.
