영문 초록

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of forest activities based on the education for sustainable development on environment preservation knowledge and pro-environment attitude in young children. The subjects of this study are a total of 34 children of age 5 consisting of an experimental group of 17 and a comparative group of 17 in S Daycare Center located in G-gun. In order to determine the effects of forest activities based on the education for sustainable development on environment preservation knowledge and pro-environment attitude in young children, the data collected from pre and post test between the experimental and comparative groups were compared and analyzed with an independence t test using SPSS(Statistical Package for the Social Science)WIN21.0 program. According to the result of this study the experimental group which did forest activities based on the education for sustainable development showed that environment preservation knowledge and pro-environment attitude in young children improved more than the comparative group which did forest activities according to life themes. As for these results, it can be seen that forest activities based on the education for sustainable development positively affected environment preservation knowledge and pro-environment attitude in young children. In conclusion, this implies that if forest activities based on the education for sustainable development are consistently developed in kindergartens, they could be activities to improve environment preservation knowledge and pro-environment attitude in young children.
