ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationships among children’s cognitive play behavior, cognitive ability, conflict resolution ability, motor ability, and achievement motivation. The subjects of this study were 220 young children whose mean age was 63.42 months. The research data were collected by ‘Social and cognitive play scale’,‘ K-WIPPSI-Ⅳ’, ‘Children's conflict resolution ability test’,‘MPTYC’and‘Achievement motivation test’. Pearson correlation and Step-Wise Multi Regression were used to analyze the data. As a result of the study, it was found that among cognitive plays behavior, functional play behaviors had a positive correlation with achievement motivation, and constructive play behaviors had a positive correlation with conflict resolution ability, and achievement motivation. Dramatic play behaviors had a positive correlation with motor ability, conflict resolution ability, and cognitive ability, and games with rules had a positive correlation with motor ability, conflict resolution ability, and cognitive ability. Secondly, The adventurous spirit and task orientation of achievement motivation were found to be positive predictors affecting functional play among children's cognitive play. Self-responsibility of achievement motivation, task orientation, and conflict resolution were found to be positive predictors affecting constructive play. The processing speed of cognitive ability, movement of motor ability, space and time of the cognitive ability, conflict resolution of conflict resolution ability, and interest and enjoyment of achievement motivation were found to be positive predictors affecting dramatic play. Perseverance and passion of achievement motivation, fluid inference of cognitive ability, and confidence in achievement motivation were found to be predictive variables affecting games with rules. These results reveal that several variables affect cognitive play behavior as well as cognitive development, and the basic data to support and expand play can be used.
