본 연구는 협동적 요리 활동이 유아의 과학적 태도 및 친사회적 행동에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지 알아보 는데 그 목적이 있으며 연구대상은 충북 청주시에 소재한 S 단설유치원에 재원 중인 만 4세 유아 40명으로 실험집단 20명, 통제 집단 20명이었다. 연구도구는 이경민(200)의 과학적 태도 검사와 김영옥(2003)이 개발 한 친사회적 행동평가 검사도구(Prosocial Behavior Scale for Young Children)를 사용하였다. 연구문제를 검증 하기 위하여 각 집단별 평균 증가 점수에 대한 t검증을 실시하였고 연구 결과 협동적 요리 활동을 실시한 실 험집단과 실시하지 않은 통제집단간의 과학적 태도와 친사회적 행동에 유의한 차이가 있었다. 즉, 협동적 요리활동이 유아의 과학적 태도와 친사회적 행동을 향상시키는데 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났 다.

The results of study are as follows: First, there was an meaningful difference between two groups of experimental and control in scientific attitude. This showed the cooperative cooking activities had positive effects on young children’s scientific attitude. Second, there was an meaningful difference between two groups of experimental and control in scientific attitude. This showed the cooperative cooking activities had positive effects on young children’s scientific attitude.
