본 연구는 2005년부터 2006년까지 유아들을 대상으로 생물 기르기 활동을 실시한 현장연구이다. 유아들과 2년 동안 지속적으로 다양한 생물을 길러보고 그 성장과정을 관찰하면서 이 과정에서 나타나는 유아들의 과학적 탐구능력을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 장수풍뎅이, 누에, 명주잠자리 등을 키우면서 통합적 교육활동을 실시하였다. 연구 결과 생물 기르기 활동은 유아의 과학적 탐구능력을 향상시키는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 유아의 연령증가에 따른 탐구능력의 변화과정을 분석해 본 결과 유아의 연령 증가에 따라 관찰력이 좀 더 세밀해지고 관찰을 통한 비교하기, 예측하기 등의 과학적 탐구능력이 향상되는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

This study was performed to investigate young children"s scientific inquiry by performing integrated activities for raising animate creatures. 30 4-year-old children participated in the study for 2 years. They raised various animate creatures including beetles, silkworms, and ant lions. Children performed various integrated activities around the creatures, such as language, math, science, art, and physical activities. The study result revealed that children became more interested in raising living things and showed higher levels of scientific ability, verbal expression, and creative thinking skills. As time passed by, the children paid more attention to details while they observe and their verbal and graphic expression was based on their factual knowledge and became more sophisticated.
