초등학생의 학습만화 선호 성향이 국어어휘력에 주는 영향 분석

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the correlation between elementary student’s preference on educational comics and Korean vocabulary. For this study, 136 elementary students participated in survey about preference and recognition on educational comics and the test for Korean vocabulary. Results on this study were as followings. First, many elementary students(77.2%) which were subjects for this study preferred educational comics. According to survey for recognition of educational comics, results showed the average of more than 3 points in all components, which implied that they had positive recognition on educational comics. Second, the preferred books had the correlation with Korean vocabulary. Students who preferred educational comics had lower average Korean vocabulary score(58.89) compared to that of other students(68.03) who preferred the general books. Third, the preferred books had the correlation with Korean vocabulary, even with consideration of score in Korean subject. The difference in scores of vocabulary tests based on preferred books were analyzed using ANCOVA, while score in Korean subject was controlled as the covariate with assumption in which score of Korean subject could affect the vocabulary. The result from ANCOVA was the significant probability of 0.033. Fourth, not only preferred books but also the reading habit tended to influence Korean vocabulary. The students who preferred educational comics but achieved high score of Korean vocabulary test had the reading habit that they read various kinds of books for many hours. On the other hand, even if students preferred the general books it would not be helpful to improve the vocabulary when they did not read many books or various books.
