Exploring children's and teachers' learning entangled with new materialistic teaching media
The purpose of this study is to explore the learning of young children and teachers entangled with new materialistic teaching media. To this end, we conducted non-participant observations of the 3-year-old seal class and the 2-year-old turtle class at the Sea Daycare Center, and conducted intra-interviews with the director and teachers. The results of the study are, first, phenomenon, flowing atmosphere, and learning. Young children and teachers entangled with the teaching media of the phenomenon that appeared momentarily and the teaching media of the flowing atmosphere created by the arrangement revealed the existence of the moment of entanglement as learning. Second, time, space, and learning. The teaching media of time containing memories and experiences and the teaching media of ambiguous and secret space revealed learning by being entangled with young children and teachers. Third, internal action, becoming, device, and learning. The creation of the teaching media of the internal action that corresponds to materials, becoming that can be anything, and the device that creates the substance of play revealed the entanglement process of the creation of the teaching media as learning of young children and teachers. Through this, we can examine the meaning of new materialistic teaching media and the direction of learning, examine the learning of infants and toddlers as a new paradigm required by future society, and use it as basic data for exploring perspectives on teaching media in future curriculum revisions.
