ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between the young children’s creative trait and personality affecting their learning readiness. The participants were 131 young children in kindergartens or nursery schools and their mothers from Seoul, Gyeonggi and Chungnam province. The instruments were the Korea Learning Readiness Test, Young Children’s Creative Traits Test, and Young Children’s Personality Test. The data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA, t-test, Pearson’s partial correlation, stepwise multiple regression, and Scheffe′ test by SPSS PC(version17.0) program. The results were as follows. Firstly, there were no significant differences in young children’s learning readiness, creative trait and personality by children’s age, location, school type, father’s age, mother’s educational level and mother’s job type, while there were significant differences in the creative trait and the subfactor scores of personality by children’s sex, father’s educational level and parents’job type. Secondly, there was a positive partial correlation(r = .20~.24) between young children’s learning readiness and creative trait, while there were no correlations between their learning readiness and personality and between their personality and creative trait. Thirdly, cognitive factor of creative trait and father’s educational level did not effectively explain the children’s learning readiness.
