그림책을 활용한 창의적 문제해결과정의 효과 : 창의적 사고, 문제해결 수행능력을 중심으로 = A Study on the Influence of the Creative Problem Solving Process Using Children's Picture-Books

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구의 목적은 그림책을 활용한 창의적 문제해결과정이 유아의 창의적 사고와 문제해결 수행능력에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 알아보는 것이었다. 연구대상은 경주 소재 H유치원 소속의 만 5세 유아 16명이었으며, 연구도구로는 Torrance의 TTCT 중 '언어' 검사와 Treffinger의 CPS 체크리스트가 활용되었다. 또한 창의적 문제해결과정에 대한 질적 분석이 추가되었다. 연구결과, 그림책을 활용한 창의적 문제해결과정에 참여한 실험집단이 통제집단보다 창의적 사고에서 더 높은 점수를 보였다. 문제해결 수행에 있어서도 실험집단이 통제집단 보다 긍정적인 변화를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 그림책을 활용한 창의적 문제해결과정은 유아들의 창의적 사고와 문제해결 수행능력을 증진시키는데 효과적이라고 결론지을 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of Creative Problem Solving Process with picture-books on both creative thinking and problem solving performance. Participants of this study were sixteen 5-year-old children in kindergarten "H" in Gyeongju, Kyungsang Province. They were divided into two groups: the experimental group of 8 children participated in Creative Problem Solving Process with 12 picture-books, and the the control group was in the process of usual class after listening to the same books. The Creative Problem Solving Process lasted for 12 weeks, the interactions in the classroom were video taped, and all dialogues were transcribed. The effects of Creative Problem Solving Process with picture-books were assessed by Torrance's TTCT(Verbal) and Treffinger's check lists of CPS. The children's creative thinking abilities were analyzed by the "Mann-Whitney U Test" and the children's responses in creative problem solving performance were interpreted. The results 1. The Creative Problem Solving Process with children's picture-books enhanced the creative thinking in aspects of fluency, flexibility and uniqueness. 2. The Creative Problem Solving Process with children's picture-books enhanced the children's problem-solving performance ability, in areas such as, analyzing problems, designing strategies, applying them properly, and generating new ideas. In conclusion, the Creative Problem Solving Process with children's picture-books can help young children develop creative thinking and problem-solving performance ability. Therefore it is recommended that the Creative Problem Solving Process, as a tool for solving problems, should be encouraged at an early age so that it can become a natural and accepted part of children's intellectual functioning.
