Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to analyze the differences in executive function according to type of early English learning experience. The subjects were 75 5-years-old who had immersive early English learning in language school, and daycare center. The measurement tools were stroop, DCCST, memorize numbers, pattern fluency, and maze. We conducted covariance analysis with total intelligence as the covariates. In the results, there were significant differences in attention control and cognitive flexibility, but weren't significant differences in information processing and goal setting according to type of early English learning experience. This study suggests that experience of immersive early English learning positively affected attention control and cognitive flexibility, and didn't affect information processing and goal setting.

본 연구의 목적은 조기영어학습 경험의 유형에 따른 실행기능의 차이를 분석하는 것이다. 연구대상은 어학원에서 몰입식 영어교육 경험을 가진 23명의 유아, 어린이집에서 방과후 영어학습 경험을 가진 52명의 유아, 총 75명을 대상으로 삼았다. 연구도구는 주의통제의 경우 스트룹 과제, 인지적 융통성의 경우 카드분류과제와 숫자 따라 외우기 소검사, 정보처리의 경우 도안 유창성, 목표설정의 경우 미로 소검사를 사용하여 측정하였다. 자료분석은 전체지능지수를 공변인으로 한 공분산분석을 적용하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 주의통제와 인지적 융통성은 조기영어학습의 유형에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였다. 둘째, 정보처리와 목표설정은 조기영어학습의 유형에 따라 어떠한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 본 연구는 전일제 조기영어학습의 경험이 주의통제와 인지적 융통성에는 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 반면, 정보처리와 목표설정에는 어떠한 영향도 미치지 않음을 시사한다.
