본 연구의 목적은 전래동화를 활용한 창의적 교수 학습 방법이 유아의 창의성에 미치는 영향을 알아보는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 관련문헌을 기초로 유아에게 적절한 전래동화를 선정하고 이를 바탕으로 5단계의 창의적인 교수 학습 방법을 고안하여 경기도에 소재한 초등학교병설유치원 2개 학급 만 4,5 세 유아 33명을 선정하여 8주간 주 5회씩 총 40회 실시하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 전래동화를 활용한 창의적 교수 학습 방법을 실시한 실험집단과 전래동화를 들려주기만 한 통제집단 간 유아의 창의성 및 창의성 하위요인인 유창성, 융통성, 독창성에 있어 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 창의성과 언어의 결정적 시기에 있는 유아들에게 창의성 향상을 위한 프로그램 개발과 전래동화에 대한 다각적 연구들에 대한 후속 연구가 필요하다.
